The effect of experimentally observed hot atom mechanism on the phase diagram using Pt (111) surface of the monomer-dimer reaction has been studied. While using this mechanism, whenever O 2 molecule hits the randomly vacant selected site, it breaks up into atomic form and then executes ballistic flight. The path of the two oxygen atoms is taken exactly opposite to each other i.e. anti-parallel and range of the atoms is taken equal i.e. they may fly upto 1 and 1.73 atomic spacing from the site of impact . Two cases have been studied on the basis of the range of hot atoms. The steady reactive window is observed and the continuous transition disappears. As soon as the CO partial pressure departs from zero the production of CO 2 is observed, which clearly verifies the experimental observation.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
