A simple model for amorphous solids, consisting of a mixed bond triangular lattice with a fraction of attenuated bonds randomly distributed (which simulate the presence of defects in the surface), is studied here by using computational simulation. The degree of disorder of the surface is tunable...

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...

In this paper, the adsorption of interacting binary mixtures on square lattices has been studied. By using Monte Carlo simulation and finite-size scaling analysis, the connection between the surface ordered phases and the percolating properties of the adsorbed phase has been investigated. A rich...

In this paper, the percolation of mixtures of monomers and polyatomic species (k-mers) on a square lattice is studied. By means of a finite-size scaling analysis, the critical exponents and the scaling collapsing of the fraction of percolating lattices are found. A phase diagram separating a...

Adsorption thermodynamics of interacting particles adsorbed on nanotube bundles is studied through a lattice-gas model and Monte Carlo simulations. The adsorbent is modeled as one-dimensional channels of equivalent adsorption sites arranged in a triangular cross-sectional structure. Two kinds of...

Percolation due to the simultaneous occupation of two neighboring bond sites, namely a bond dimer, is considered here by means of the renormalization cell technique providing an analytic way to obtain results such as percolation threshold, jamming coverage and critical exponents. This is...

Adsorption thermodynamics of a lattice–gas model with non-additive interactions between adsorbed particles for triangular and honeycomb lattices is discussed in the present study. The model used here assumes that the energy which links a certain atom with any of its nearest-neighbors strongly...

The diffusion of a single dimer adsorbed on highly correlated heterogeneous substrates is studied through Monte Carlo simulations. The topography has been characterized by patches of weak and strong adsorbing sites, arranged in a chessboard-like ordered structure. The time behavior of the...

The configurational entropy per site of a lattice gas model with non-additive interactions between adsorbed particles for square, triangular and honeycomb lattices is discussed in the present study. The model used here assumes that the energy which links a certain atom with any of its...

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...
