The surface diffusion coefficient of Si atoms on a Si(001) surface is quantitatively determined using scanning tunneling microscopy. The method rests on counting the number of islands that form at various substrate temperatures for a given deposited dose at a given deposition rate. In the simplest situation, the diffusion coefficient is related to the island density by N proportional-to D-1/3 and to the width of denuded zones at steps by W(DZ) proportional-to D1/6. The activation energy for diffusion is E(a) = 0.67 +/- 0.08 eV and D0 congruent-to 10(-3) +/- 1 cm2. The diffusion is highly anisotropic, with the fast direction along the dimer rows.
