Abstract
Anisotropic lateral interactions between particles on a rectangular la ttice result in anisotropy in the coverage dependence of the chemical diffusion coefficient. This effect is studied in the framework of the lattice-gas model taking into account repulsive lateral interactions i n the ground state and also lateral interactions in the activated stat e. To calculate the diffusion coefficient, the transfer-matrix techniq ue is employed.
