Power Laws in Adsorption and the Characterization of Heterogeneous Substrates
The adsorption of particles with repulsive nearest-neighbour interactions was studied through Monte Carlo simulation on bivariate surfaces characterized by patches of weak and strong adsorbing sites of size l. Patches were either arranged in a deterministic chessboard structure or in a random way. Q...

description | The adsorption of particles with repulsive nearest-neighbour interactions was studied through Monte Carlo simulation on bivariate surfaces characterized by patches of weak and strong adsorbing sites of size l. Patches were either arranged in a deterministic chessboard structure or in a random way. Quantities were identified which scale obeying power laws as a function of the scale length l. The consequences of these findings were discussed for the determination of the energetic topography of the surface from adsorption measurements. |
