We study this In this reaction carbon monoxide reaction with thermal （Langmuir- Hinshelwood） and non-thermal （precursor and Eley-Rideal） reaction mechanisms using the techniques of Monte Carlo computer simulation.

The diffusion of species on the surface as well as their desorption from the surface is also introduced to include temperature effects. The phase diagrams of the system have been drawn to observe the behaviour of reacting species on the surface. The study reveals that the production rates are higher for non-thermal precursor mechanism and are in agreement with the experimental finding.展开更多

The simple Langmuir-Hinshelwood （LH） mechanism yields a steady reactive window, which is separated by continuous and discontinuous irreversible phase transitions. The effect of precursor mechanism on the phase diagram of the system is also studied. According to this mechanism, the precursor motion of CO molecules is considered only on the surface of bcc lattice. Some interesting observations are reported.展开更多
