Diffusion at electrochemical interfaces is a decisive factor for, e.g., metal electrodeposition using halide ion containing electrolytes [1]. The modification of surface diffusion energy barriers due to an applied sample potential has been ascribed to the interaction of the electric dipole moment of the system with the electric field at the surface [1,2]. The diffusion of Sulfuric tracer adatoms on Cu(100) surfaces has been investigated using video-STM. On the c(2x2)Cl/Cu(100) [3] and on the c(2x2)Br/Cu(100) surface, S-adatoms respond qualitatively differently to the applied sample potential, i.e. by a decrease or an increase of the hopping rate of the S adatom. Density-functional total-energy calculations with VASP [4] for the diffusion path suggest a possible explanation to this unexpected experimental observation. We note that our theoretical analysis is based on former theoretical research on S/c(2x2)Cl/Cu(100) diffusion by J. Stremme and A. Franke [5,6].
