Surface phase transitions at O and CO catalytic reaction on Pd(111)
2006
Abstract The model has been proposed to simulate numerically the reaction O + CO → CO2 and occurring phase transitions on Pd(1 1 1) surface. We calculate the phase diagram for this system by kinetic Monte Carlo method. It shows the phase transitions p ( 2 × 2 ) O → 3 × 3 R 30 O ° and p ( 2 × 2 ) O → 3 × 3 R 30 O ° → p ( 2 × 1 ) O with increase of CO coverage for room and intermediate temperatures, respectively, while in the low temperature limit the direct p(2 × 2)O → p(2 × 1)O phase transition is observed. We demonstrate that the reaction rate is the crucial factor determining the occurrence of the p(2 × 1)O phase and vanishing of the 3 × 3 R 30 O ° with decrease of temperature. The result…
Modelling of phase transitions and reaction at CO adsorption on oxygen precovered Pd(111)
2006
Abstract Using the interaction parameters up to the third neighbors and activated form of O and CO diffusion and their reaction, the model has been proposed for Monte-Carlo simulations describing the catalytic O + CO → CO2 reaction and occurring phase transitions on Pd(1 1 1) surface. Upon adsorption of CO the pre-adsorbed oxygen transforms from p(2 × 2)O phase into 3 × 3 R 30 O ° and 3 × 3 R 30 O ° → p ( 2 × 1 ) O phases in the limit of room and moderate temperatures, respectively. We demonstrate that the kinetic effects determine both the occurrence of the p(2 × 1)O and disappearance of the 3 × 3 R 30 O ° phases at moderate and low temperatures, respectively. Using reaction rate as a fit …
