Random sequential adsorption of lattice shapes onto a square lattice

Abstract

We present computer simulation results for Random Sequential Adsorption. Symmetric and asymmetric lattice shapes, and their mixtures, have been irreversibly adsorbed onto a square lattice until no further adsorption events can take place. The adsorption statistics and kinetics are dependent on the shapes of the adsorbing particles. Two regimes of adsorption kinetics have been identified and the configuration of unoccupied lattice sites has been investigated using two stage Random Sequential Adsorption.
