Av. Myshlyavtsev et al., SURFACE PHASE-TRANSITIONS AND MULTIPLICITY OF STEADY-STATES IN AN IDEALLY MIXING REACTOR, Kinetics and catalysis, 33(5-6), 1992, pp. 975-981
A deterministic two-stage model of an open catalytic system with surfa
ce phase transition is studied. The model is analyzed by the transfer-
matrix method. It is shown that phase-transition-induced critical phen
omena in heterogeneous catalytic systems are partial and limiting case
s of critical phenomena arising from lateral interactions.
