The results of molecular dynamics simulations of the motion of monatomic-deep vacancy islands on Ag(111), using interaction potentials from the embedded atom method were presented. The individual processes appearing in a large set of runs, at three different temperatures, were identified. From the statistics thus collected, it was found that the predominant mechanism underlying the diffusion of vacancy islands on Ag(111) was the diffusion of atoms along the periphery of the vacancy islands.Atomic Processes in Vacancy Island Motion on Ag(111).
