Percolation and jamming in structures built through sequential deposition of particles

Sub-monolayer growth by sequential deposition of particles

“…Sequential quenching is not concerned with reaction among adsorbed particles but one of its key characteristic times is that for the irreversible reaction (strong attachment) between a particle and a site on the surface. Clusters built though sequential quenching exhibit an annealed-like compactness rather than an open, fractal nature as we have studied in our previous work [13,14].…”

“…We have learned from previous work [13,14] that sequential quenching results in different structures at different temperatures. In this work we use Monte Carlo simulations of triangular-well particles to study the stages in the preparation of a sub-monolayer film by sequential deposition from very low to very high temperatures, a limit at which the system becomes equivalent to RSA.…”

Dielectric property of particles at interface in random sequential adsorption and its application to whispering gallery mode resonance-shift sensors

“…The process is known as RSA and has been studied mostly using computer simulation. [18][19][20][21][22][23] In the latter, circles of the same radii were laid sequentially onto a plane, avoiding overlaps. One of the conclusions of the studies 19,21,23 is that there is an upper limit in ⌽, and the upper limit is about 0.547, much smaller compared with / ͑2 ϫ 3 1/2 ͒ = 0.9069, the area fraction for the hexagonal closest packing of circles.…”

“…Our result agrees with the reported values. 19,21,23 For each configuration of circles generated in either type of RSA, ⌬͑r͒ was calculated. Thus obtained ⌬͑r͒ was further averaged among the configurations of the same av , which is equal to N circles in type I RSA.…”

Engineering a Material Surface for Drug Delivery and Imaging using Layer‐by‐Layer Assembly of Functionalized Nanoparticles

“…2). A 0.1 w/v% [NP] was employed for the surface studies to simulate infinite dilution, where inter‐NP interactions are minimal and thus favor random sequential adsorption (RSA) 20. We found that the adsorption of NPs as a function of dipping time shows two distinct phases (Fig.…”
