The cohesion-based approach developed earlier for describing the adsorptive
properties of d-metal atoms on d substrates was used to calculate the self
-diffusion on the (111) and (100) planes of fcc metals, and the (110) plane
of bcc metals. The results of the calculation are compared with the data o
btained by other researchers and with available measurements. (C) 1999 Amer
