## Abstract

We examine hysteresis in cyclic voltammetry of Br electrosorption onto single-crystal Ag(100) by dynamic Monte Carlo simulations. At room temperature, this system displays a second-order phase transition from a low-coverage disordered phase to a doubly degenerate $c (2 \\times 2)$ phase. The electrochemical potential is ramped back and forth across the phase transition, linearly in time, and the phase lag between the response of the adlayer and the potential is observed to depend on the sweep rate. The hysteresis in this system is caused by slow ordering/disordering kinetics and critical slowing-down.

## Recorded benchmark results

A research result applies to its stated dataset, split, metric and evaluation configuration. Compare like-for-like settings, preserve the metric's unit and direction, and distinguish paper-reported results from independent reproduction. The best result recorded here is not a claim of exhaustive, current global coverage.
