Abstract
In 1990, Jakubith et al. (Phys. Rev. Lett. 65:3013–3016, 1990) and Ertl (Science 254:1750–1755, 1991) found out that, in the catalytic oxidation of CO molecules on a Pt(110) surface, adsorbed CO molecules and O atoms form various types of spatio-temporal patterns, such as propagating wave, spiral, target, stripe, and chaotic patterns. To understand the mechanism of these phenomena from macroscopic point of view, Hildebrand–Kuperman–Wio–Mikhailov–Ertl and Hildebrand–Ipsen–Mikhailov–Ertl presented a simple kinematic model of the surface reaction coupled to a structural phase transition of the surface, i.e.,
