This study models particle deposition on surfaces using random sequential adsorption (RSA). It reveals how collector shape influences particle packing and nanostructure formation, offering insights for surface engineering.

Area of Science:

  • Surface Science
  • Materials Science
  • Computational Physics

Background:

  • Understanding particle adsorption on surfaces is crucial for nanotechnology and materials engineering.
  • The influence of surface feature geometry on particle deposition kinetics and packing density is not fully understood.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the irreversible adsorption of spherical particles onto various surface collector shapes.
  • To determine the impact of collector geometry on jamming coverage and monolayer length using numerical simulations.

Main Methods:

  • Employed the random sequential adsorption (RSA) model for irreversible particle deposition.
  • Utilized Monte Carlo numerical simulations to analyze particle configurations.
  • Investigated collectors of linear, semicircular, and circular shapes with varying length-to-particle size ratios (L/d).

Main Results:

  • Jamming coverage on linear collectors exhibits linear and parabolic dependencies on 1/L, with a maximum at L/d = 4/3.
  • Monolayer end-to-end length on linear collectors shows linear and polynomial dependencies on 1/L.
  • Circular collectors result in significantly lower jamming coverage compared to linear collectors at similar ratios.

Conclusions:

  • Developed equations to predict nanostructure length based on adsorbed particle numbers.
  • Theoretical findings align with experimental data for latex particle adsorption on patterned surfaces.
  • Collector geometry is a critical factor in controlling particle packing and surface coverage.
