Unidimensional model of the ad-atom diffusion on a substrate submitted   to a standing acoustic wave II. Solutions of the ad-atom motion equation
  The ad-atom dynamic equation, a Langevin type equation is analyzed and solved using some non-linear analytical and numerical tools. We noticeably show that the effect of the surface acoustic wave is to induce an effective potential that governs the diffusion of the ad-atom: the minima of this effective potential correspond to the preferential sites in which the ad-atom spends more time. The strength of this effective potential is compared to the destructuring role of the thermal diffusion and to the crystalline potential induced by the substrate.
