Highlights

Hydrogen vacancies diffusion and cluster formation on Pd(111): Nature 422, 705 (2003)

In this movies, vacancies appear as bright bumps surrounded by dark rings, while the periodic background represents the 1x1 H adlayer.
Parameters: 31.0 K, 0.100 eV (A), 0.105 eV (B), 1.020 eV (C), 1.025 eV (D), 500 us timestep, total time 6 hours (120 x speed).
