An Introduction to Kinetic Monte Carlo Simulations of Surface Reactions

Chapter 1:

Surface reactions are ubiquitous in many areas of science and engineering, from heterogeneous catalysis and electrochemistry to thin film growth and microelectronics fabrication. Understanding and controlling these reactions at the atomic scale is critical for advancing these fields and developing new technologies.

Kinetic Monte Carlo (KMC) simulations provide a powerful tool for studying surface reactions at the atomic scale. KMC simulations allow us to track the evolution of a surface over time by simulating the individual events that occur, such as the adsorption, desorption, and diffusion of atoms and molecules. This approach enables us to gain insights into the mechanisms of surface reactions and to predict their rates and selectivities.
