Description
Summary:Adsorption of dimers is modelled using random sequential adsorption algorithm. The interaction between molecules is given by screened electrostatic potential. The paper focuses on the properties of adsorbed monolayers as well as the dependence of adsorption kinetics on interaction range. We designate random maximal coverage ratios, density autocorrelations and orientational ordering inside layers. Moreover the detailed analysis of adsorption kinetics is presented including a discussion of Feder's law validity and new numerical method for modelling diffusion driven adsorption. Results of numerical simulations are compared with experimental data obtained previously for insulin dimers. ► Random sequential adsorption (RSA) of electrostatically interacting dimers ► Measurement of fundamental adsorption layer property dependence on dimers' electrostatic repulsion range ► Determination of adsorption kinetics. ► Development of a new algorithm for calculating diffusion driven adsorption kinetics
