Abstract
The desorption of CO from an anisotropic surface of polycrystalline tungsten after different periods of annealing has been studied. Anisotropy in the spatial distribution of CO molecules in the desorbing flux was detected at early stages of annealing. Smoothing out of the surface texture during annealing recorded by means of STM resulted in the disappearance of the spatial distribution anisotropy. The results are quantitatively explained by the model of a rough surface.7
