This study generalizes the random sequential adsorption (RSA) problem to include variable particle sizes, yielding exact analytic expressions for final coverage in competitive RSA models. Simulations confirm the theoretical findings.

Area of Science:

  • Statistical Physics
  • Materials Science
  • Chemical Engineering

Background:

  • The classical one-dimensional random sequential adsorption (RSA) problem assumes uniform particle sizes.
  • Real-world adsorption processes often involve particles with varying sizes, leading to competitive adsorption dynamics.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To generalize Renyi's classical RSA solution to accommodate particles of arbitrary size distributions.
  • To develop a theoretical framework for competitive RSA and derive exact analytic expressions for final coverage.

Main Methods:

  • Formulation of the competitive RSA process using recursive relations.
  • Extraction of limiting behavior from recursive relations without explicit equation solving.
  • Validation of theoretical analysis through computer simulations.

Main Results:

  • Derivation of exact analytic expressions for the final coverage in competitive RSA.
  • Demonstration of the method's applicability to arbitrary particle size distributions.
  • Confirmation of theoretical predictions via simulation data.

Conclusions:

  • The generalized model accurately describes competitive RSA with variable particle sizes.
  • The derived analytic expressions provide a powerful tool for predicting adsorption behavior.
  • This work extends the understanding of surface phenomena in systems with heterogeneous particle inputs.
