Following a rapid dose of a periodically stepped Pt(111) crystal face to a low total coverage of CO (~0.006 monolayer), the time evolution of CO molecules migrating from terrace to step sites was monitored with a temporal resolution as fast as 5 msec. When compared with a simple kinetic model, the data reveal statistical microscopic hopping rates for CO diffusion on the (111) plane over the T=95-195 K range investigated.
