Kinetics of random sequential adsorption of nearly spherically symmetric particles

Kinetics of random sequential adsorption (RSA) of spheres on flat, two-dimensional surfaces is governed by a power law with exponent $-1/2$. The study has shown that for RSA of nearly spherically symmetric particles this exponent is $-1/3$, whereas other characteristics typically measured in RSA simulations approach values known for spheres with the increase of symmetry of the particles.
