The effect of impurities on jamming in random sequential adsorption of elongated objects.
We consider the jamming aspect of random sequential adsorption of extended particles onto two-dimensional lattice by computer Monte Carlo simulations. The initial presence of impurities on the substrate disturbs this phenomenon significantly and we study here how the size and density of impurity particles affect the resulting jamming threshold. We present the formula for jamming threshold as a closed function of all important parameters (the size of primary particles, the size of impurity particles, and the final density of impurities). The fractal dimension of the space free of impurities is also discussed.
