Abstract
CO oxidation on a surface composed of two types of patches was simulated by the Monte Carlo method. Each patch has kinetic properties close to those o f Pt(100) and Rh(100). The reaction rate was shown to increase significantl y at the interface, involving COads on platinum and O-ads on rhodium, under particular conditions.
