Abstract

The distributions of the number of aligned (or parallel) and unaligned hard squares deposited in a small subvolume of a finite flat surface with periodic boundaries through a random sequential adsorption (RSA) process are obtained from computer simulations. These distributions are compared with a hypergeometric model where the effects of mutual exclusion between squares are incorporated by a coverage dependent effective volume per square.
