Abstract
The surface-subsurface model for a dimer-dimer reaction of the type A2 + 2B2→2AB2 has been studied through Monte Carlo simulation via a model based on the lattice gas non-thermal Langmuir-Hinshelwood mechanism, which involves the precursor motion of the B2 molecule. The motion of precursors is considered on the surface as well as in the subsurface. The most interesting feature of this model is that it yields a steady reactive window, which is separated by continuous and discontinuous irreversible phase transitions. The phase diagram is qualitatively similar to the well known Ziff, Gulari and Barshad (ZGB) model. The width of the window depends upon the mobility of precursors. The continuous transition disappears when the mobility of the surface precursors is extended to the third-nearest neighbourhood. The dependence of production rate on partial pressure of B2 dimer is predicted by simple mathematical equations in our model.
