17. The restriction to nearest neighbor metal sites within the topmost metal layer is strictly justifiable only for simple cubic lattices where the second nearest neighbor metal atoms are far apart. In principle, for bcc and fcc lattices the metal atoms of the second metal layer should be considered. However, the intention of this paper is to describe the effects of energetical surface heterogeneity on surface diffusion by using the most simplest model, and it is very reasonable to assume that the presence of a fifth nearest neighbor metal atom will certainly influence the absolute values of the corresponding surface diffusion coefficients but will not significantly change the qualitative findings of this work.
