Abstract
A novel type of traveling structures in surface chemical reactions is presented. These structures, resulting from the competition between re actions, diffusion, and the phase transition caused by attractive late ral interactions between adsorbed particles, are predicted to exist on submicrometer and nanometer scales. We show that internal fluctuation s lead to a complex dynamics of interacting wave fragments in this sys tem. [S0031-9007(98)07180-4].
