Here we demonstrate such an identification by comparing simulations with experimental data. Using a dynamic lattice-gas model for the electrosorption of Br on Ag(100), we measure the scan-rate dependence of the separation between positive-and negative-going peaks in cyclic-voltammetry (CV) and compare simulated and experimental peak separations. By adjusting the Monte Carlo attempt frequency, good agreement between simulated and experimental peak separations is achieved. It is also found that the uniqueness of such a determination is dependent on the relative values of the adsorption/desorption and diffusion free-energy barriers. | Source: | arXiv, cond-mat/0406414 | Services: | Forum | Review | PDF | Favorites |
