Random sequential adsorption of cuboids.

The subject of this study was random sequential adsorption of cuboids of axes length ratio of : 1 : for ∈ [0.3, 1.0] and ∈ [1.0, 2.0], and the aim of this study was to find a shape that provides the highest packing fraction. The obtained results show that the densest packing fraction is 0.401 87 ± 0.000 97 and is reached for axes ratios near cuboids of 0.75:1:1.30. Kinetics of packing growth was also studied, and it was observed that its power-law character seems not to be governed by the number of cuboid degrees of freedom. The microstructural properties of obtained packings were studied in terms of density correlation function and propagation of orientational ordering.
