The adsorption–desorption process occurring on heterogeneous surfaces is studied by considering a special case where a fractal is used as adsorbent. The fractal surface is the spanning cluster corresponding to the random deposition of objects that occupy more than one site (k-mers) on a square...

Grand canonical Monte Carlo simulations have been performed in order to study adsorption thermodynamics of pairwise interacting particles on fractal surfaces. Diffusion-limited aggregates (DLA) have been used as a substrate where interacting particles are adsorbed. In order to obtain aggregates...

In the present paper, patterns of diffusion-limited aggregation (DLA) grown on nonuniform substrates are investigated by means of Monte Carlo simulations. We consider a nonuniform substrate as the largest percolation cluster of dropped particles with different structures and forms that occupy...
