Abstract

We consider the reversible random sequential adsorption of line segments on a one-dimensional lattice. Line segments of length l2l \geq 2 adsorb on the lattice with a adsorption rate KaK_a, and leave with a desorption rate KdK_d. We calculate the coverage fraction, and steady-state jamming limits by a Monte Carlo method. We observe that coverage fraction and jamming limits do not follow mean-field results at the large K=Ka/Kd>>1K=K_a/K_d >>1. Jamming limits decrease when the length of the line segment ll increases. However, jamming limits increase monotonically when the parameter KK increases. The distribution of two consecutive empty sites is not equivalent to the square of the distribution of isolated empty sites.
