Abstract
The electronic excitation of adsorbed CO molecules has been observed t o cause lateral migration. This phenomenon has been observed using a s tepped Pt(335) crystal, where the step sites act as traps for migratin g terrace-site CO molecules. The possible role of thermal migration ha s been excluded.
