20. The model is de factoa two-species one.
21. The exponent (Formula presented) depends on the way N in Eq. (1) is determined. For our model, both N at constant transformed coverage (Formula presented) and (Formula presented) give a systematically lower (Formula presented).

23. The difference in the adatom and vacancy island decay rates (Ref. 13) resulted from a correction of raw data for STM tip effects. Without this correction, the decay rates were equal within the experimental error: (Formula presented)(Formula presented) eV, (Formula presented) (Formula presented) eV.
