要旨:
Deterministic chaos has been observed in the NO+CO and NO+H2 reactions on Pt(100). A mathematical model is proposed that explains the origin as being due to delays in the response of a population of reacting adsorbate islands globally coupled via the gas phase. The dynamical equations of this model yield a sequence of period-doubling bifurcations resulting in chaos.
