The random sequential adsorption (RSA) model is a classical model in Statistical Physics for adsorption on two-dimensional surfaces. Objects are deposited sequentially at random and adsorb irreversibly on the landing site, provided that they do not overlap any previously adsorbed object. The kinetics of adsorption ceases when no more objects can be adsorbed (jamming state). Here, we investigate the role of post-relaxation on the jamming state and percolation properties of RSA of dimers on a two-dimensional lattice. We consider that, if the deposited dimer partially overlaps with a previously adsorbed one, a sequence of dimer displacements may occur to accommodate the new dimer. The introduction of this simple relaxation dynamics leads to a more dense jamming state than the one obtained with RSA without relaxation. We also consider the anisotropic case, where one dimer orientation is favored over the other, finding a non-monotonic dependence of the jamming coverage on the strength of anisotropy. We find that the density of adsorbed dimers at which percolation occurs is reduced with relaxation, but the value depends on the strength of anisotropy.

We study approach to the large-time jammed state of the deposited particles in the model of random sequential adsorption. The convergence laws are usually derived from the argument of Pomeau which includes the assumption of the dominance, at large en ough times, of small landing regions into each of which only a single particle can be deposited without overlapping earlier deposited particles and which, after a certain time are no longer created by depositions in larger gaps. The second assumption has been that the size distribution of gaps open for particle-center landing in this large-time small-gaps regime is finite in the limit of zero gap size. We report numerical Monte Carlo studies of a recently introduced model of random sequential adsorption on patterned one-dimensional substrates that suggest that the second assumption must be generalized. We argue that a region exists in the parameter space of the studied model in which the gap-size distribution in the Pomeau large-time regime actually linearly vanishes at zero gap sizes. In another region, the distribution develops a threshold property, i.e., there are no small gaps below a certain gap size. We discuss the implications of these findings for new asymptotic power-law and exponential-modified-by-a-power-law convergences to jamming in irreversible one-dimensional deposition.
In this work we extend recent study of the properties of the dense packing of superdisks, by Y. Jiao, F. H. Stillinger and S. Torquato, Phys. Rev. Lett. 100, 245504 (2008), to the jammed state formed by these objects in random sequential adsorption. The superdisks are two-dimensional shapes bound by the curves of the form |x|^(2p) + |y|^(2p) = 1, with p > 0. We use Monte Carlo simulations and theoretical arguments to establish that p = 1/2 is a special point at which the jamming density has a discontinuous derivative as a function of p. The existence of this point can be also argued for by geometrical arguments.

We report a surprising result, established by numerical simulations and analytical arguments for a one-dimensional lattice model of random sequential adsorption, that even an arbitrarily small imprecision in the lattice-site localization changes the convergence to jamming from fast, exponential, to slow, power-law, with, for some parameter values, a discontinuous jump in the jamming coverage value. This finding has implications for irreversible deposition on patterned substrates with pre-made landing sites for particle attachment. We also consider a general problem of the particle (depositing object) size not an exact multiple of the lattice spacing, and the lattice sites themselves imprecise, broadened into allowed-deposition intervals. Regions of exponential vs. power-law convergence to jamming are identified, and certain conclusions regarding the jamming coverage are argued for analytically and confirmed numerically.

We study a model of bacterial dynamics where two interacting random walkers perform run-and-tumble motion on a one-dimensional lattice under mutual exclusion and find an exact expression for the probability distribution in the steady state. This stat ionary distribution has a rich structure comprising three components: a jammed component, where the particles are adjacent and block each other; an attractive component, where the probability distribution for the distance between particles decays exponentially; and an extended component in which the distance between particles is uniformly distributed. The attraction between the particles is sufficiently strong that even in the limit where continuous space is recovered for a finite system, the two walkers spend a finite fraction of time in a jammed configuration. Our results potentially provide a route to understanding the motility-induced phase separation characteristic of active matter from a microscopic perspective.
