The novel technique of linearly heating a sample to obtain both the pre‐exponential factor D 0 and the activation energy E from a single run is applied to the Cu(111)(Sn, S) system. Using Auger electron spectroscopy the surface enrichment is measured as a function of time (temperature) and fitted with an integral expression containing the fit parameters D 0 and E . The fit values at all heating rates agree excellently with published, our own experimental and conventional t 1/2 values after temperature corrections.
