The dual site-bond model (SBM) to describe heterogeneous surfaces with different energetic topographies is reviewed and applied to the study of molecular processes on solid surfaces such as adsorption, surface diffusion, reactions, and diffusion limited aggregation. It is found that all these processes are strongly affected by the energetic topography, and the observed behaviors are discussed.
