The variation of island morphology with adsorbate parameters is discussed and the temperature-dependence of island density in the case of immobile adsorbates is studied in detail. A set of rate equations for the description of nucleation in the presence of predeposited mobile and immobile adsorbates is developed.NATO ARW Colective surface diffusion coefficients under non-equilibrium conditions, October 2-6, 2000, PragueMaterials Sciencetext
