Conditions for the Occurrence of Kinetic Oscillations in the Catalytic Oxidation of CO on a Pt(100) Surface

The rate of catalytic CO oxidation at low pressures (< 10^{- 3} Torr) on a well-defined Pt(100) single crystal surface may exhibit sustained temporal oscillations which can conveniently be followed by means of the variation of the work function...
