Deposition at Quasi-Continuous Surfaces

Because of its major significance, deposition at quasi-continuous surfaces has been investigated extensively in terms of the RSA model. Most results concern hard spherical particle deposition at planar interfaces of infinite extension [1, 5, 44-48]. However, there exist also results for polydisperse spherical particles [52] and for anisotropic hard particles of a convex shape like squares [53], rectangles (cylinders), spherocylinders (disk rectangles) and ellipses (spheroids) [2]. Results are also available for particles interacting via the short-range repulsive potential stemming from the electric double layers [5, 13, 43, 44, 48]. 

The most important parameter determined in these simulations was the jamming coverage 0oo, which characterizes the interface capacity for accommodating particles.
