Abstract

Recently, a detailed study of the adsorption dynamics of CO on metal oxides, i.e. for the polar ZnO surfaces, has been published [Beckeret al.,JCP113, 6334 (2000)]. For both polar surfaces, an increase in the adsorption probabilities with increasing surface coverage (adsorbate-assisted adsorption) has been observed. A Monte Carlo (MC) version of the so-called modified Kisliuk model is presented, which accounts for the main features observed experimentally. The model, which includes two fit parameters, is based on the differences in the mass differences in the mass mismatch of the gas phase species and the surfaces. Therefore, in particular, the polar surfaces of ZnO, which differ by the mass of the atoms in the first surface layer, are perfectly suited for discussing the proposed MC algorithm.
