Kinetics of random sequential adsorption of rectangles and line segments

Random sequential adsorption of nonoverlapping rectangles of arbitrary orientation onto a continuous plane was investigated by computer simulation. It is shown that the approach to the jamming limit of rectangles with various aspect ratios obeys the scaling law θJ−θ(τ)∼τ−1/3. Furthermore, the adsorption kinetics of rectangles approach those of line segments as the rectangle aspect ratio becomes large.Peer Reviewedhttp://deepblue.lib.umich.edu/bitstream/2027.42/70816/2/JCPSA6-93-11-8270-1.pd
