Abstract

Random sequential adsorption of nonoverlapping rectangles of arbitrary orientation onto a continuous plane was investigated by computer simulation. The approach to the jamming limit was found to obey Feder's law for a wide range of rectangle aspect ratios. The coverage fraction at the jamming limit was found to depend upon the aspect ratio of the adsorbed rectangles, with a maximum in the jamming coverage occurring at aspect ratios ~2.
