Influence of phase transition on pattern formation during catalytic reactions (Q1587684): Difference between revisions

The paper presents the influence of the order of surface phase transitions on pattern formation during chemical reaction on mono-crystal catalysts. The co-oxidation on a platinum surface is considered. The model consists of two partial differential equations, one of which describes the dynamics of the surface state with the help of a Ginzburg-Landau potential. The stability analysis for plane waves is presented and the Benjamin-Feir unstable region is drawn. Results obtained by the numerical integration of the system are presented.
