Equilibrium versus random sequential addition of dimers on a lattice

G Fiumara and P V Giaquinta

Show affiliations


The statistical-mechanical properties of particles forming dimers are compared with the results obtained on a two-dimensional lattice through a random sequential addition (RSA) experiment. The relation between the most likely fraction of dimers filling the lattice at equilibrium in the disordered phase and the corresponding non-equilibrium jamming limit attained through RSA is explored. Some implications relevant for the physics of the liquid state are also discussed.
