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...

The diffusion of a single dimer adsorbed on highly correlated heterogeneous substrates is studied through Monte Carlo simulations. The topography has been characterized by patches of weak and strong adsorbing sites, arranged in a chessboard-like ordered structure. The time behavior of the...

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...
