Abstract
Collective surface diffusion of strongly interacting particles is simu lated on the basis of an n-fold way kinetic Monte Carlo scheme. The co verage dependence of the jump and tracer diffusion coefficients is cal culated for one- and two-dimensional lattice gases at very low (subcri tical) temperatures. Results are compared with exact analytical ones a nd Monte Carlo simulations using the standard Metropolis algorithm. Th e method proves to be highly reliable to investigate surface diffusion at subcritical temperatures where phase coexistence in the adlayer oc curs.
