Y. Seimiya et al., TRANSLATIONAL ENERGY OF DESORBING CO2 IN STEADY-STATE CO OXIDATION ONA STEPPED PLATINUM (133) SURFACE, Surface science, 415(1-2), 1998, pp. 988-992
Velocity distributions of desorbing product CO, in CO oxidation on Pt(
133) were analyzed in both the active and inhibited regions at the ste
ady state. The translation temperature is high in the active region wh
ere the reaction is in the first order with respect to CO. It decrease
s sharply with increasing CO pressure when the reaction shifts to the
inhibited region where CO retards the reaction. The translational ener
gy of CO, increases linearly with the surface temperature. (C) 1998 El
