Random sequential adsorption of shrinking or spreading particles

arXiv:cond-mat/0609582 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevE.75.011123

Abstract

We present a model of one-dimensional irreversible adsorption in which particles once adsorbed immediately shrink to a smaller size or expand to a larger size. Exact solutions for the fill factor and the particle number variance as a function of the size change are obtained. Results are compared with approximate analytical solutions.
