Density functional theory for random sequential adsorption M. Schmidt, J. Phys.: Condens. Matt. 14, 12119 (2002). Locate in [bare] [illustrated] list. Get [full paper] as pdf. Extract. We treat the non-equilibrium process of random sequential adsorption of hard particles onto a solid substrate by means of a geometry-based density functional theory. As a prerequisite the zero-dimensional case is solved exactly and used to construct density functionals in higher dimensions, permitting the treatment of adsorption onto arbitrary spatially inhomogeneous substrates.

Fluids in random media
The density functional theory for quenched-annealed mixtures [24] relates the quenched components to a random porous medium and the annealed components model to an adsorbate fluid (mixture). See [46] for the explicit relation to the the replica trick. Colloid-polymer mixtures were studied in bulk random matrices [32], exhibiting (gas-liquid) interfaces [41], and wetting properties at porous substrates [56]. Rods were immersed in quenched sphere matrices [54], and spheres were immersed in random fibre networks [39]. Freezing is hindered in the presence of disorder [38]. See [33] for the related non-equilibrium process of random sequential adsorption.[more]
