Shapes for maximal coverage for two-dimensional random sequential adsorption
arXiv:1506.08164 · doi:10.1039/C5CP03873A
Abstract
The random sequential adsorption of various particle shapes is studied in order to determine the influence of particle anisotropy on the saturated random packing. For all tested particles there is an optimal level of anisotropy which maximizes the saturated packing fraction. It is found that a concave shape derived from a dimer of disks gives a packing fraction of 0.5833, which is comparable to the maximum packing fraction of ellipsoids and spherocylinders and higher than any other studied shape. Discussion why this shape is so beneficial for random sequential adsorption is given.
