Abstract In chemical reaction systems far from thermodynamical equlibrium rate oscillations and chemical wave patterns develop. This paper presents a condensed overview of recent developments in the study of self-organization processes during heterogeneously catalyzed reactions, whereby the main emphasis is focused on low pressure single crystal studies of oscillatory and pattern forming reactions on Pt and Rh surfaces. Chemical wave patterns on a macroscopic scale as well as reaction induced-microscopic roughening and coverage fluctuations in nano-scale systems are discussed.

Altmetric calculates a score based on the online attention an article receives. Each coloured thread in the circle represents a different type of online attention. The number in the centre is the Altmetric score. Social media and mainstream news media are the main sources that calculate the score. Reference managers such as Mendeley are also tracked but do not contribute to the score. Older articles often score higher because they have had more time to get noticed. To account for this, Altmetric has included the context data for other articles of a similar age.
