An introduction to stochastic self-assembly: theory, simulation and experimental applications
E. M. Schwen
Abstract:We introduce three stochastic cooperative models for particle deposition and evaporation relevant to ionic self-assembly of nanoparticles with applications in surface fabrication and nanomedicine. We present a method for mapping a stochastic model onto the Ising model, which allows us to use the established results for the Ising model to describe the properties of the system. After completing the mapping process, we investigate the time dependence of particle density using the mean field approximation. We comp… Show more
