Abstract
The oxidation of carbon monoxide on a Pt(110) surface is considered as a medium for chemical information processing in which bits of information are represented by traveling pulses of high oxygen coverage. Using numerical simulations for a model of CO oxidation we demonstrate that in such system one dimensional chemical signal diode can be realized by setting a proper profile of temperature. We also show that a pulse splitting can occur on a temperature inhomogeneity. The phenomenon of pulse splitting can be used to construct one dimensional generator of a train of pulses with adjustable frequency.
