First-Order Phase Transition in a Modified Ziff-Gulari-Barshad Model with Self-oscillating Reactant Coverages

Abstract: Using kinetic Monte Carlo simulations, we study the effect of oscillatory kinetics due to surface reconstructions on Ziff-Gulari-Barshad (ZGB) model discontinuous phase transition. To investigate the transition, we do extensive finite size scaling analysis. It is found that the discontinuous transition still exists. On inclusion of desorption in the model, the order-parameter probability distribution broadens but remains bimodal. That is, the firstorder phase transition becomes weaker with increase in desorpti… Show more

“…For equilibrium systems, the maximum of χ and other quantities scale with the system volume and its position α L obeys the asymptotic relation α L = α 0 − c/L 2 [24,25], being α 0 the transition point in the thermodynamic limit and c a constant. Recent papers [18,26,20,21] have shown that similar scaling is verified for nonequilibrium phase transitions. Alternatively, the transition point can also be estimated as the value of α L in which the two peaks of the probability distribution have equal weights (area) [26,21].…”

“…Also, these considerations provide an idea about the current place of such minimalistic models (considered as sub-networks of more involved realistic reaction networks) in the spectrum of existing approaches as a complement to ever developing experimental and first principle studies. Recent examples include surface oxide models [31,36], models of CO oxidation accompanied by surface reconstruction [30,32,34], in the presence of surface impurities [17] and gas phase impurities [1,2], distinguishing hollow and bridge surface sites [24].…”
