Abstract
We investigate the roughening of the reaction front in a monomer–monomer surface reaction and determine its fractal dimension. The poisoning kinetics are also investigated. We find that the roughness of the interface obeys a power law, σ∼t β, and that the reaction rate also obeys a power law, R∼t α−1. We conjecture that the relation α=2β holds for these exponents and find this conjecture is very well supported by our simulation results.Keywords
