Abstract: A method for estimating, via the Monte-Carlo simulation, the most often realized diffusion mechanisms in 2D ordered structures is presented. Taking as an example the diffusion of oxygen ions in 123 — YBCO high temperature superconductor we propose several diffusion mechanisms and show to what extent they depend on the temperature and concentration of the diffusing particles. Our results are compared with the ones proposed earlier on the basis of energy arguments. We find also additional trajectories, different from those earlier reported in that system.
