Abstract

A kinetic model for irreversible surface reactions, recently proposed by Ziff, Gulari, and Barshad, is studied in the site and pair approximations. The latter approach predicts the phase diagram correctly, and yields quantitative predictions which are in very close agreement with simulation, in the vicinity of the first-order kinetic transition.
