Fractal kinetics in surface reactions

The kinetics of the surface reaction A + B n / n → s u r f a c e c a t a l y t i c A B , n = 1 , 2 has been investigated by means of Monte Carlo simulations. This kind of three color reactive percolation kinetics should be tentatively described in terms of parameters (fractal dimension, perimeters,…...

Description
Summary:The kinetics of the surface reaction A + B n / n → s u r f a c e c a t a l y t i c A B , n = 1 , 2 has been investigated by means of Monte Carlo simulations. This kind of three color reactive percolation kinetics should be tentatively described in terms of parameters (fractal dimension, perimeters,…) of the specific clusters generated by the model reactions for different values of the external parameters. The islands of adsorbed molecules are found to be fractal with dimension D ≈ 5/3, for the different kinetic schemes considered.
