Collective diusion of particles with repulsive nearest-neighbor interactions on bivariate surfaces is studied through Monte Carlo simulation, in the framework of the Green-Kubo theory. Weak and strong adsorbing sites form lxl patches distributed at random or in chessboard-like ordered domains on a two-dimensional square lattice. The influence of the energetic correlation and the lateral interactions on the jump and collective diusion coecients is analyzed by simulating the coverage fluctuations in the grand canonical ensemble and the mean-square displacements of particles in the canonical ensemble. The combination topography-lateral couplings is shown to strongly affect the coverage dependence of the transport coefficients.
