Abstract
The adsorption kinetics and thermodynamic properties of a binary mixture on a square lattice are studied using the random sequential adsorption with surface diffusion (RSAD). We compare the adsorption of binary species with different equilibrium rate constants and effective rates of adsorption to a surface and find that the temporal evolution of surface coverages of both species can be obtained through the use of the blocking function of a system with irreversible adsorption of highly diffusive particles. Binary mixtures, when one of the components follows the random sequential adsorption (RSA) without surface diffusion and the other follows the RSAD model, display competitive adsorption in addition to cooperative phenomena. Specifically, (i) species replacement occurs over a long period of time, while the total coverage remains unchanged after a short time, (ii) the presence of the RSAD component shifts the jamming coverage to the higher values, and (iii) the maximum jamming coverage is obtained when the effective adsorption of the RSA type components is lower than the other adsorbing particles.
