Stationary Coverage of a Stochastic Adsorption-Desorption Process with Diffusional Relaxation

Abstract

We show that it is possible to derive the stationary coverage of an adsorption-desorption process of dimers with diffusional relaxation with a very simple ansatz for the stationary distribution of the process supplemented by a hypothesis of global balance. Our approach is contrasted to the exact result and we seek to understand its validity within an instance of the model.
