Nonequilibrium phase transitions in models of adsorption and desorption

Abstract

The nonequilibrium phase transition in a system of diffusing, coagulating particles in the presence of a steady input and evaporation of particles is studied. The system undergoes a transition from a phase in which the average number of particles is finite to one in which it grows linearly in time. The exponents characterizing the mass distribution near the critical point are calculated in all dimensions.
