Slip of the tungsten

Caption

The evolution of carburization (depicted by the spheres) under kinetic control (illustrated by the surface contours). The molecular beams represent gas evolution under synthesis conditions while the fiery sphere highlights the formation of the pure tungsten semi-carbide phase with additional molecular beams at the top to illustrate its catalytic performance.
