Random sequential adsorption of trimers and hexamers

Materials Science 2013-09-27 v1

Abstract

Adsorption of trimers and hexamers built of identical spheres was studied numerically using the Random Sequential Adsorption (RSA) algorithm. Particles were adsorbed on a two dimensional, flat and homogeneous surface. Numerical simulations allow to establish the maximal random coverage ratio, RSA kinetics as well as the Available Surface Function (ASF), which is crucial for determining kinetics of the adsorption process obtained experimentally. Additionally, the density autocorrelation function was measured. All the results were compared with previous results obtained for spheres, dimers and tetramers.
