In the framework of SOS models, the dynamics of isolated and pairs of surface
steps of monoatomic height is studied, for step--edge diffusion and for
evaporation kinetics, using Monte Carlo techniques. In particular, various
interesting crossover phenomena are identified. Simulational results are
compared, especially, to those of continuum theories and random walk
descriptions.Comment: 13 pages in elsart style, 4 eps figures, submitted to Physica
