Abstract
A nucleation and growth mechanism of island formation based on the Opp enheim-Levine-Somorjai conjecture, in which the island shape and numbe r are controlled via the adsorption process occurring at the island ed ges, is given to study the kinetics of the Langmuir-Hinshelwood reacti on through Monte Carlo simulation. The calculated thermal programmed r eaction (TPR) spectra yield the possibility to analyze (at least quali tatively) the behavior of real systems for which island formation is s uspected.
