Abstract: A simple model for heterogeneous catalysis, recently introduced by Ziff, Gulari, and Barshad (ZGB), has been explored using computer simulation. This is a nonequilibrium model which exhibits phase transition‐like behavior. The only parameter in this model (Y) sets the ratio with which two reactive species (A and B2) are fed to the surface (lattice). On the square lattice, ZGB found a range of values of this parameter for which steady states with nonzero A and B concentrations occur. Outside of this range, the surface becomes completely covered with A or B sites. The range of Y values corresponding to steady state with nonzero A and B concentrations is bounded by two ‘‘critical’’ values Y1 and Y2. For values of Y close to but above Y1 we have obtained approximate values for the exponents which describe the dependence of the steady‐state densities of A and B sites on (Y−Y1). These exponents both seem to have the same value independent of lattice details. We have extended the work of ZGB to the hexagonal lat...

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors focus on steady states "far from equilibrium" where such schemes break down, and propose a simple non-equilibrium model, referred to as the standard model.

Kinetic phase transitions in an irreversible surface-reaction model.
TL;DR: In this paper, an irreversible kinetic surface-reaction model based on the reaction of carbon monoxide and oxygen on a catalyst surface was presented, and it was found by computer simulation that the adsorbed molecules on the surface undergo both first-and second-order kinetic phase transitions.

Phase transitions in stationary nonequilibrium states of model lattice systems
TL;DR: In this article, the stationary nonequilibrium states of a lattice gas of interacting particles subject to an external field were investigated, where the dynamics of the system were given by hoppings of particles to nearby empty sites with rates biased for jumps in the direction of the external field.

Excess noise for driven diffusive systems.
TL;DR: The steady-state scattering function for driven diffusive systems with a single conserved density is investigated and it is found that d = 2 is the borderline dimension with marginally nondiffusive behavior; for d larger than 2 the spread is diffusive with anisotropic long-time-tail corrections.
Concentration forcing of catalytic surface rate processes: Part I. Isothermal carbon monoxide oxidation over supported platinum
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors found that switching between carbon monoxide/argon and oxygen/argon mixtures to a gradientless reactor significantly increased the average reaction rate as compared to the steady state rate, when the time averaged feed concentrations in both cases are stoichiometric.
