Model of the catalyticA+B→0reaction with surface reconstruction

subject

description

The $A+\stackrel{\ensuremath{\rightarrow}}{B}0$ reaction model with a surface reconstruction is analyzed. It is compared with another similar model for the ${A+1/2B}_{2}\ensuremath{\rightarrow}0$ reaction [V. N. Kuzovkov et al., J. Chem. Phys. 108, 5571 (1998)], which mimics the CO oxidation reaction on the Pt surfaces. The effect of monomer B adsorption instead of dimer ${B}_{2}$ is examined. It is shown that qualitative system features such as reactant concentration oscillations are independent of this substitution.
