Various amounts of CO were placed in the vacuum portion which upon full adsorption to the surface corresponded to 5\%, 25\%, 33\%, and 50\% coverages.

356   \subsection{Diffusion}
357 < While an ideal metallic surface is unlikely to experience much surface diffusion, high-index surfaces have large numbers of low-coordinated atoms which have a much easier time overcoming the energetic barriers limiting diffusion, leading to easier surface reconstructions. Surface movement was divided between the parallel ($\parallel$) and perpendicular ($\perp$) directions relative to the step edge. We were then able to calculate diffusion constants as a function of CO coverage. As can be seen in Table 4, the presence and amount of CO directly affects the diffusion constants of surface platinum atoms. The presence of two 50\% coverage systems is to show how the diffusion process is affected by time. The majority of the systems were run for approximately 50 ns while the half monolayer system been running continuously. The lowered diffusion constant at longer run times will be examined in-depth in the discussion section.

368  
369 + As shown in Figure 2, over a period of approximately 100 ns, the surface
370 + has reconstructed from a 557 surface by doubling the step height and
371 + step length. Focusing on only the platinum, or gold, atoms that were
372 + deemed mobile on the surface, an analysis of the surface diffusion was
373 + performed. A particle was considered mobile once it had traveled more
374 + than 2~\AA between snapshots. This immediately eliminates all of the
375 + bulk metal and greatly limits the number of surface atoms examined.
376 + Since diffusion on a surface is strongly affected by overcoming energy
377 + barriers, the diffusion parallel to the step edge axis was determined
378 + separately from the diffusion perpendicular to the step edge. The results
379 + at various coverages on both platinum and gold are shown in Table 4.

411   \section{Discussion}
412 < Comparing the results from simulation to those reported previously by Tao et al. the similarities in the platinum and CO system are quite strong. As shown in figure 1, the simulated platinum system under a CO atmosphere will restructure slightly by doubling the terrace heights. The restructuring appears to occur slowly, one to two platinum atoms at a time. Looking at individual snapshots, these adatoms tend to either rise on top of the plateau or break away from the step edge and then diffuse perpendicularly to the step direction until reaching another step edge. This combination of growth and decay of the step edges appears to be in somewhat of a state of dynamic equilibrium. However, once two previously separated edges meet as shown in figure 1.B, this point tends to act as a focus or growth point for the rest of the edge to meet up, akin to that of a zipper. From the handful of cases where a double layer was formed during the simulation. Measuring from the initial appearance of a growth point, the double layer tends to be fully formed within $\sim$~35 ns.

414   \subsection{Diffusion}
415   As shown in the results section, the diffusion parallel to the step edge tends to be much faster than that perpendicular to the step edge. Additionally, the coverage of CO appears to play a slight role in relative rates of diffusion, as shown in Table 4. Thus, the bottleneck of the double layer formation appears to be the initial formation of this growth point, which seems to be somewhat of a stochastic event. Once it appears, parallel diffusion, along the now slightly angled step edge, will allow for a faster formation of the double layer than if the entire process were dependent on only perpendicular diffusion across the plateaus. Thus, the larger $D_{\perp}$, the more likely a growth point is to be formed. One driving force behind this reconstruction appears to be the lowering of surface energy that occurs by doubling the terrace widths. (I'm not really proving this... I have the surface flatness to show it, but surface energy?)
