Cooperative sequential adsorption processes on heterogeneous substrates

Abstract
Exact solutions for the cooperative sequential adsorption (CSA) problem on heterogeneous one-dimensional chains is reviewed and extended to the case of dimer adsorption. Then, the much more realistic CSA of dimers on two-dimensional heterogeneous lattices with different site topographies is studied through numerical simulation, and the results are analyzed and interpreted in light of the one-dimensional exact results.
