Abstract:We present a versatile cooperative three-state model with adsorption and evaporation defined on different topologies: two- and three-dimensional lattices and Cayley trees. We discuss this model in the context of two main applications: silica and titania self-assembled optical coatings on glass substrates and drug encapsulation of two different types of nanoparticles on tree-like synthetic polymers called dendrimers and described mathematically as Cayley trees. We present analytical and Monte Carlo simulation r… Show more
