Abstract:
The A+B-->0 reaction model with a surface reconstruction is analyzed. It is compared with another similar model for the A+1/2B2-->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 B2 is examined. It is shown that qualitative system features such as reactant concentration oscillations are independent of this substitution.
