Random sequential adsorption on non-simply connected surfaces

Abstract

The dependence of the coverage fraction for the random sequential adsorption of k 2 -mers on a two-dimensional substrate is studied when different distributions of defects introducing exclusion domains on the substrate are used. The k 2 -mers are deposited on a square lattice with closed boundary conditions. The different geometries and topologies of the distributions of defects include regular and random geometries, as well as different topologies defined by the concentration of defects.

Competitive random sequential adsorption of binary mixtures of disks and discorectangles

“…The different variant of RSA model with deposition of binary mixtures or particles with size distributions were also analyzed [17][18][19][20][21][22]. For multicomponent mixtures the competitive and multistep RSA models were investigated.…”

Jamming and percolation in the random sequential adsorption of a binary mixture on the square lattice

“…Despite its simplicity, the model provides deep insight into experimentally observed phenomena, related to chemisorption on surfaces [12][13][14], adsorption on membranes [15], adsorption of colloids [16][17][18][19] and of proteins [20], Rydberg excitation [21], and ion implantation in semiconductors [22]. One of the variants of the model which still leads to surprising results is the one focusing on the competitive adsorption of two species (binary mixture) differing in shape and/or sizes [22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29][30][31][32][33][34][35], which also includes adsorption in the presence of quenched defects [36][37][38][39][40][41][42][43]. For example, it has been shown recently by numerical simulations that the RSA model does not exhibit its universal critical features at the so-called jamming and percolation points when such defects yield strong long-range spatial correlations [44].…”
