We report the development of a new pattern-recognition scheme for the off- lattice self-learning kinetic Monte Carlo (KMC) method that is simple and flex ible enough that it can be applied to all types of surfaces. In this scheme, to uniquely identify the local environment and associated processes involving three-dimensional (3D) motion of an atom or atoms, 3D space around a central atom or leading atom is divided into 3D rectangular boxes. The dimensions and the number of 3D boxes are determined by the type of the lattice and by the ac- curacy with which a process needs to be identified. As a test of this method we present the application of off-lattice KMC with the pattern-recognition scheme to 3D Cu island decay on the Cu(100) surface and to 2D diffusion of a Cu monomer and a dimer on the Cu (111) surface. We compare the results and computational efficiency to those available in the literature.
