Collective properties of adsorption–desorption processes
Collective properties of adsorption–desorption processes
A reversible adsorption–desorption parking process in one dimension is studied. An exact solution for the equilibrium properties is obtained. The coverage near saturation depends logarithmically on the ratio between the adsorption rate, k+, and the desorption rate, k−, ρeq≂1−1/log(k+/k−), when k+/k−≫1. A time dependent version of the reversible problem with …
