17. The true value of the barrier height at the steps is higher than 7.9 kcal/mol. Using a model proposed by Merikoski and Ying [Phys. Rev. B 56, 2166 (1997)] for diffusion on stepped surfaces to subtract out the contribution of diffusion over terraces, we deduce (Formula presented) with (Formula presented) being the terrace barrier, Schwoebel barrier, and the additional binding energy at the lower step edges, respectively. If we take (Formula presented) from Ref. 6, and (Formula presented) from our measurement, we deduce a negative (Formula presented)
