Bt. Zhang et Hy. Pan, KINETIC PHASE-TRANSITIONS IN THE A-B-2-D SURFACE-REACTION MODEL, Journal of physics. A, mathematical and general, 28(21), 1995, pp. 6177-6185
A monomer-dimer-monomer (A-B-2-D) lattice surface reaction model is pr
oposed, in which two adsorption parameters X(A) and X(D) are involved.
The phase diagram for this model is determined by the partial simulat
ion method. For the case of no desorption being considered, six phases
are found, which are the two-species saturated phases S-AD, S-BD, S-B
E and S-AE (E denotes the intermediate product AB), the one-species sa
turated phase Sg and the steady reactive phase R. The R and S-B phases
are restricted to the line X(A) = X(D). Phase transitions between two
-species phases or between R and S-B are all second order, while that
between R and S-AD is first order. It appears that there exists a pent
acritical point at X(A) = X(D) = 0.023 +/- 0.001. If D desorption is
taken into account, the reactive phase R extends to a region of finite
area.
