It is shown from step annealing data for the 002 x-ray diffraction peak that the processes annealing below 200 /sup 0/C possess a frequency factor approx.10/sup 14/ sec/sup -1/, while those processes annealing at higher temperatures possess much lower frequency factors. This is attributed to the lower-temperature processes being associated with the movement of single carbon interstitial atoms and the higher-temperature processes being associated with more complex configurations, including clusters of carbon atoms.
