The possibility of correlated jumps in hydrogen self-diffusion on the Ni (00 I ) surface has been studied numerically at T= 2 50 K. It is found that excitations of electron-hole pairs among the conduction electrons are the dominating mechanism for energy dissipation in the present situation. Correla
