Promoter-induced reactive phase separation in surface reactions
Yannick De Decker,Hubertus Marbach,M. Hinz,Sebastian Günther,Maya Kiskinova,Alexander S. Mikhailov,Ronald Imbihl +6 more
TL;DR: It is shown that conditions lead to a Turing instability of the uniform state and to the formation of reaction-induced periodic concentration patterns in catalytic water formation on a Rh(110) surface in the presence of coadsorbed potassium.

Stochastic Thermodynamics of Brownian Motion
TL;DR: A stochastic thermodynamics of Brownian motion is set up in which state functions are expressed in terms of state variables through the same relations as in classical irreversible thermodynamics, with the difference that the state variables are now random fields accounting for the effect of fluctuations.

Promoter-induced nonlinear pattern formation in surface chemical reactions
TL;DR: In this article, a simple model of a surface chemical reaction with a promoter interacting with one of the reactants is considered, and an interplay between the reaction, interactions, and diffusion of species in this system can result in the development of periodic nonequilibrium spatial patterns.

Complex oscillation patterns during the catalytic hydrogenation of NO2 over platinum nanosized crystals
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors studied the catalytic reduction of NO2 with hydrogen on platinum model catalysts by means of field emission techniques using FIM (atomic resolution field ion microscopy).

Emergence of chemical oscillations from nanosized target patterns
Cédric Barroo,Cédric Barroo,Yannick De Decker,Thierry Visart de Bocarmé,Norbert Kruse,Norbert Kruse +5 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated the mechanism by which chemical oscillations emerge in a nanometric system and showed that the oscillations are generated by nanoscale chemical target patterns of much shorter characteristic time than the period with which they occur.
