Abstract
The unique attributes of the field ion microscope have enabled researchers to obtain detailed information on the diffusion of individual atoms and the nucleation of small clusters on metal surfaces. In this article I describe the experimental methods used in field ion microscope studies of these processes and discuss recent results relating to the discovery of novel diffusion modes and unexpected cluster configurations on fcc metal surfaces.
