Which mechanism causes anomalous diffusion on crystal surfaces?

💡 Explanation

Adatoms distort the crystal locally causing adatom-induced lattice trapping effects; this hinders expected movement because the adatom is trapped near distortion, therefore producing different than normal or anomalous diffusion, rather than normal phonon or impurity governed behavior.
