The percolation problem of interacting particles on square lattices with two kinds of energetically different sites is studied. Square lattices formed by collections of either randomly or orderly distributed sites are generated. The system is characterized by two parameters, namely, the...

Grand canonical Monte Carlo simulations have been performed in order to study adsorption thermodynamics of pairwise interacting particles on fractal surfaces. Diffusion-limited aggregates (DLA) have been used as a substrate where interacting particles are adsorbed. In order to obtain aggregates...

In the present paper, patterns of diffusion-limited aggregation (DLA) grown on nonuniform substrates are investigated by means of Monte Carlo simulations. We consider a nonuniform substrate as the largest percolation cluster of dropped particles with different structures and forms that occupy...

Adsorption thermodynamics of a lattice–gas model with non-additive interactions between adsorbed particles for triangular and honeycomb lattices is discussed in the present study. The model used here assumes that the energy which links a certain atom with any of its nearest-neighbors strongly...

The adsorption–desorption process occurring on heterogeneous surfaces is studied by considering a special case where a fractal is used as adsorbent. The fractal surface is the spanning cluster corresponding to the random deposition of objects that occupy more than one site (k-mers) on a square...

The percolation problem of irreversibly deposited dimers on square lattices with two kinds of sites is studied. Simple adsorptive surfaces are generated by square patches of l×l sites, which can be either arranged in a deterministic chessboard structure or in a random way. Thus, the system can...

The localized monolayer adsorption of homonuclear dimers on heterogeneous surfaces with simple topographies is analyzed by combining theoretical modeling and Monte Carlo (MC) simulations. The heterogeneous surfaces are represented by lattices with two kinds of sites, the so-called bivariate...

The configurational entropy of repulsive interacting particles adsorbed on heterogeneous surfaces is studied by combining Monte Carlo simulation and thermodynamic integration method. The substrate is represented by a bivariate lattice characterized by l×l patches of weak and strong adsorbing...
