Ziff–Gulari–Barshad model

The Ziff–Gulari–Barshad (ZGB) model is a simple Monte Carlo method for catalytic reactions of oxidation of carbon monoxide to carbon dioxide on a surface using Monte-Carlo methods which captures correctly the essential dynamics: the phase transition between two poisoned states (either CO2- or O-poisoned) and a steady-state in between. It is named after Robert M. Ziff, Erdogan Gulari, and Yoav Barshad, who published it in 1986.[1]

Model definition

The model consists of three steps:

  • Adsorption of the reacting species CO and O2
  • The actual reaction step on the surface: CO + O → CO2
  • Desorption of the products.

The simplest implementation considers the catalyst as simple square two-dimensional lattice, but one can also consider other kinds of underlying lattices.[2] When a gas-phase molecule touches an empty site, adsorption occurs immediately and the chemical reaction is also instantaneous. Furthermore, assumes that the composition of the gas phase remains constant.

Results and other work

The model belongs to the universality class of directed percolation.[3] The model was modified several times.[4] [5]

gollark: I just do```javascriptconst days = parseInt(getCapture(text, /.*in: ([0-9]+) day/, 0));const hours = parseInt(getCapture(text, /.*and ([0-9]+) hour/, 0));```now.
gollark: Hmm. I'm not sure whether it'd be worth switching out my current parsing thing or not.
gollark: Nobody understands regexes, don't worry.

It’s a cute baby dragon. Its markings give off an otherworldly light.Young dragons are relatively defenseless. They are born with relatively soft scales, which are shed and replaced with harder ones as the hatchling matures. Once a hatchling’s wings grow in, it marks the beginning of maturation. At this point they are often capable of hunting on their own and are usually left alone by their mother.(Please note that it is against the site rules to give aid to a user without their permission.)```
