Abstract

The strength of attractive interaction among particles on a surface, which was studied in our previous work, leads to different degrees of clustering and ordering. A growing structure percolates when all clusters connect and become one and finally the structure is jammed when there is no space large enough to accommodate one more particle. The lowest jamming limit reported is for structures from the random sequential adsorption. We studied here, by means of Monte Carlo simulation, structures built through sequential deposition of particles, into which surface diffusion and various degrees of attractive forces are incorporated and reported jamming limits along with the percolation thresholds. The higher the strength of attractive interactions, the larger the percolation densities and jamming limits are. These results were shown in a diagram as a function of temperature (or equivalently the strength of attractive interaction), ranging from very low temperature to very high temperature (RSA limit).
