Description

The first theoretical study of a dimer adsorption process at a homogeneous surface is presented. By using the RSA algorithm, we show example monolayers, discuss estimations of random jamming coverages and measure the surface blocking function, which could be used for calculating real systems kinetics. We also find the correlation function for coverages generated and analyse the orientational ordering inside the adsorbed monolayer. The results are compared with theoretical and experimental data
