Critical Behavior of Dimers in Monolayers Adsorbed on Heterogeneous Solid Surfaces

Properties of the two-dimensional heterogeneous Lennard-Jones dimers: An integral equation study

“…If we take a 2D dimer and we add hydrogen bond interaction like in MB water, we can obtain models for alcohols like methanol and t-butanol. Most of the studies to understand the properties of dimers used computer simulations on a lattice [28][29][30][31][32][33][34][35][36] and some also on continuous-space. 27,37,38 This work is an extension of Ref.…”

Statistical Thermodynamics of Lattice Gas Models of Multisite Adsorption

“…Similar calculations were performed for the adsorption of homonuclear dimers on heterogeneous surfaces [1,10,[76][77][78][79]. In the case where the surface is represented by heterogeneous clusters of active sites of one kind and another, the approximate solution is relatively simple (the solution for multisite adsorption on a homogeneous surface can be used).…”

“…There are papers devoted to the description of the first order phase transition such as "surface gas -surface liquid" [75,76,80]. The most important conclusion from all these studies is that with increasing molecular size the critical temperature shifts to higher values.…”

Sequential desorption of dimers from square lattices: A novel mechanism for phase transitions

“…The statistical aspect of molecules with multisite occupation is by now well understood [23][24][25][26][27][28][29][30][31][32][33][34][35][36][37][38][39][40]. In fact, among other results, it is well established that, for two-dimensional lattices, there is a finite number of ordered structures for dimers with nearest-neighbor repulsive interaction.…”
