Minimum energy path for a generated C adatom from the initial AlIII site (A) to the final Oa site (E).
The red curve guides the eye and was fit through the eight points spaced by 0.63 Å that were calculated using a climbing image nudged elastic band model. Among these, five are marked with filled circles, while side-view snapshots along the minimum energy path are shown for four. The inset images are top-views from the initial to the final site of the C adatom. The diffusion distance, d and the relative energy of the C adatom are shown in each snapshot.
