Abstract

Periodic modulations of oxygen pressure or temperature were applied in the catalytic oxidation of CO on a Pt(100) surface under isothermal, low pressure conditions. Transitions from aperiodic autonomous oscillations to regular phase-locked behavior could be observed. Computer simulations using a stochastic cellular automaton model yielded qualitatively similar results. The spatial distribution in both experiment and simulation varies essentially in phase over the whole surface area under the influence of the periodic perturbation, while wave propagation in the autonomous system causes more irregular overall behavior.
