Abstract: In the framework of SOS models, the dynamics of isolated and pairs of surface steps of monoatomic height is studied, for step–edge diffusion and for evaporation kinetics, using Monte Carlo techniques. In particular, various interesting crossover phenomena are identified. Simulational results are compared, especially, to those of continuum theories and random walk descriptions.
