Using empirical embedded atom method (EAM) potential, activation barriers of adatom diffusion on the surface, diffusion along the step edge, and island corner diffusion are calculated for metal (111) surface (Pt, Ag) and the behavior of those barriers is investigated with respect to lattice strain. Based on the calculated barriers, we perform the kinetic Monte Carlo simulation for monolayer island...
