Zusammenfassung: The nucleation of spiral waves at a surface defect during catalytic CO oxidation on Pt(110) has been studied with a low energy electron microscope system. It is found that reaction fronts originate from a boundary layer between the defect and the surrounding Pt(110) area. The findings are corroborated by numerical simulations within a realistic reaction-diffusion model of the surface reaction.
