Abstract:
We study overdamped stochastic model describing adsorption or desorption processes with nonequilibrium chemical reactions on the surface. It is shown that internal noise satisfying the fluctuation-dissipation relation at small intensities governs transitions between ordered thermodynamical dense and diluted phases. These phase transitions are characterized by an increase of fluctuations of the coverage filed and correlation radius of spatial modulation. At large noise intensity a transition towards disordered phase with chaotic spatial configuration is realized. We have shown that organized stationary patterns are of nanometer range. We define that both period of stationary structures and corresponding correlation radius depend on the noise intensity.
