Kinetics of irreversible adsorption of mixtures of pointlike and fixed-size particles: Exact results.

Abstract

An exact solution is reported for the kinetics of random sequential adsorption of mixtures of monomers and k-mers on a one-dimensional lattice. The limit k\ensuremath{\rightarrow}\ensuremath{\infty}can then be appropriately defined, yielding the solution for the continuum deposition of a mixture of fixed-size and pointlike particles. The addition of the pointlike particles is found to modify in a nonuniversal way the form of the large-time convergence law of the approach to the jamming coverage.
