abstract = {The investigation of step and island dynamics on surfaces
has enormously contributed to the microscopic understanding
of mass transport processes in equilibrium, during growth
and coarsening of surface structures. From the scaling
behavior of step fluctuations as well as of the ripening of
mono- and multilayer islands, the atomic diffusion processes
may be unambiguously determined even when single atom motion
cannot be observed directly. This is the case for metal
surfaces at high temperatures and, in particular, for metal
electrodes in electrochemical environment. In the case of
the latter, the analysis of step and island dynamics is the
only method available to date to learn about the dynamics at
the solid/liquid interface on the atomic scale. Here, we
review the basic theoretical principles and the experimental
contributions on step and island dynamics performed in
ultra-high vacuum as well as (more recently) in electrolyte.
It focuses also on the comparison between experimental
results obtained at the solid/vacuum and at the solid/liquid
interface. (C) 2001 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights
