摘要:
The decomposition of N2O on a catalytic surface was simulated by the Monte Carlo method The results show that both reaction rate and surface coverage oscillate with time, Fractal analysis of the time series of surface coverages indicates that the oscillation observed has an attractor. The oscillation is chaotic in nature and the attractor is a fractal with a dimension about 3.5 when the rate constant k(2) of the elementary step which produces O-2 is large enough.
