Random sequential adsorption of oriented rectangles with random aspect ratio

We studied random sequential adsorption (RSA) of parallel rectangles with random aspect ratio but fixed area using a newly developed algorithm that allows to generate strictly saturated packing of this kind. We determined saturated packing fraction for several different distributions of a random variable used for selecting side length ratio of deposited rectangles. It was also shown that the anisotropy of deposited rectangles changes during packing generation. Additionally, we examined the kinetics of packing growth, which near saturation obeys the power law with the exponent 1/d≈1/3, typical for the RSA of unoriented anisotropic shapes on a two-dimensional surface. Kinetics in the low coverage limit is determined using the concept of the available surface function. The microstructural properties of obtained random packings are evaluated in terms of two-point density correlation function.
