Abstract

We present Monte Carlo simulations of the island formation during heterogeneous catalytic A+B→C reaction occurring under the steady-state conditions via the Eley–Rideal mechanism in the case when adsorbed A particles are able to change the surface structure. The island formation is demonstrated to be crucially dependent on the details of the mechanism of A diffusion. In the favourable situation, the dependence of the average linear island size on the rate of A diffusion is found to be logarithmic.
