Pastor-Satorras, R. (Romualdo), 1967-Rubí Capaceti, José Miguel2011-07-072011-07-0720011063-651Xhttps://hdl.handle.net/2445/18819We present results of a new model of sequential adsorption in which the adsorbing particles are correlated with the particles attached to the substrate. The strength of the correlations is measured by a tunable parameter $\sigma$. The model interpolates between free ballistic adsorption in the limit $\sigma\to\infty$ and a strongly correlated phase, appearing for $\sigma\to0$ and characterized by the emergence of highly ordered structures. The phenomenon is manifested through the analysis of several magnitudes, as the jamming limit and the particle-particle correlation function. The effect of correlations in one dimension manifests in the increased tendency to particle chaining in the substrate. In two dimensions the correlations induce a percolation transition, in which a spanning cluster of connected particles appears at a certain critical value $\sigma_c$. Our study could be applicable to more general situations in which the coupling between correlations and disorder is relevant, as for example, in the presence of strong interparticle interactions.5 p.application/pdfeng(c) American Physical Society, 2001Física estadísticaTermodinàmicaSistemes no linealsSuperfícies (Física)Interfícies (Ciències físiques)Pel·lícules finesStatistical physicsThermodynamicsNonlinear systemsSurfaces (Physics)Interfaces (Physical sciences)Thin filmsinfo:eu-repo/semantics/article514154info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess
