For a brief introduction, we refer again to Fig. 25.5(a), which immediately reveals that it requires an activation energy of for an atom (or a molecule) to be transferred from a site A to another, geometrically identical site B on the same periodic surface. In the classical view, this two-dimensional diffusion process can be thought of as a sequence of individual and statistical hopping events of frequency v, each activated with an energy as pointed out, for example, by Roberts and McKee [35]. The inverse of this frequency then yields the residence time, t, of the particle in the respective site. For thermally equilibrated particles, the temperature dependence of the classical surface diffusion is described by the well-known Arrhenius relation... 

In assembling his scientific information, McKee followed the innocent until proven guilty approach that Robert Kehoe had introduced in his studies of tetraethyl lead and that industry-friendly scientists had subsequently applied to synthetic pesticides. Only those studies that determined limiting or threshold concentrations were included in the compilation. When no minimum concentration was known below which a substance did not cause harm—as in the case of cancer-causing chemicals—McKee often omitted... 

In 1937 Robert McKee Thomas (1908-1986) and William Joseph Sparks (1904-1976) at the Standard Oil Development Company (now Exxon) synthesized butyl rubber via the copolymerization (polymerization of a mixture of monomers) of isobutylene (2-methylpropene (CHj)2C=CH2) with a small amount of isoprene.
