We study the kinetics of bimolecular, catalytically-activated reactions (CARs) in d-dimensions. The elementary reaction act between reactants takes place only when these meet in the vicinity of a catalytic site; such sites are assumed to be…
We study irreversible A-B reaction kinetics at a fixed interface separating two immiscible bulk phases, A and B. We consider general dynamical exponent $z$, where $x_t\sim t^{1/z}$ is the rms diffusion distance after time $t$. At short…
We study the equilibrium properties of a lattice-gas model of an $A + B \to 0$ catalytic reaction on a one-dimensional chain in contact with a reservoir for the particles. The particles of species $A$ and $B$ are in thermal contact with…
We study kinetics of single species reactions ("A+A -> 0") for general local reactivity Q and dynamical exponent z (rms displacement x_t ~ t^{1/z}.) For small molecules z=2, whilst z=4,8 for certain polymer systems. For dimensions d above…

We propose a kinetic relaxation-model to describe a generation-recombination reaction of two species. The decay to equilibrium is studied by two recent methods for proving hypocoercivity of the linearized equations. Exponential decay of…

A monomer-dimer reaction lattice model with lateral repulsion among the same species is studied using a mean-field analysis and Monte Carlo simulations. For weak repulsions, the model exhibits a first-order irreversible phase transition…
Kinetics of model catalytic processes proceeding on inhomogeneous surfaces is studied. We employ an extended mean-field model that takes into account surface inhomogeneities. The influence of surface diffusion of adsorbent on the kinetics…
We study the effects of generalised surface disorder on the monomer-monomer model of heterogeneous catalysis, where disorder is implemented by allowing different adsorption rates for each lattice site. By mapping the system in the…
We consider the dynamics of the voter model and of the monomer-monomer catalytic process in the presence of many ``competing'' inhomogeneities and show, through exact calculations and numerical simulations, that their presence results in a…
We study a one-dimensional class of reaction-diffusion models on a $10-$parameters manifold. The equations of motion of the correlation functions close on this manifold. We compute exactly the long-time behaviour of the density and…
We discuss the relaxation kinetics of a one-dimensional dimer adsorption model as recently proposed for the binding of biological dimers like kinesin on microtubules. The non-equilibrium dynamics shows several regimes: irreversible…
We study diffusion of particles on the surface of a sphere toward a partially reactive circular target with partly reversible binding kinetics. We solve the coupled diffusion-reaction equations and obtain the exact expressions for the…
We study the steady state of a stochastic particle system on a two-dimensional lattice, with particle influx, diffusion and desorption, and the formation of a dimer when particles meet. Surface processes are thermally activated, with…
We study the 1D kinetics of diffusion-limited coalescence and annihilation with back reactions and different kinds of particle input. By considering the changes in occupation and parity of a given interval, we derive sets of hierarchical…
We study kinetics of diffusion-limited catalytically-activated $A + B \to B$ reactions taking place in three dimensional systems, in which an annihilation of diffusive $A$ particles by diffusive traps $B$ may happen only if the encounter of…
We study a reaction-diffusion system on the real line, where the reactions of the species are given by one reversible reaction according to the mass-action law. We describe different positive limits at both sides of infinity and investigate…
We write exact equations for the thermodynamic properties of a linear polymer molecule confined to walk on a lattice of finite size. The dimension of the space in which the lattice resides can be arbitrary. We also calculate polymer…
The desorption kinetics was modelled with the both interface- and surface reactions as rate-controlling steps. It has been shown analytically, that in the model of 'shrinking core' desorption, the finite hydride-decomposition-rate causes a…
