Research Experience

       Presently I am working for my Ph.D., in the Department of Physics, University of Pune,
India, under the guidance of Dr. A. V. Limaye. My topic of research is “Simulation and
Analytical Studies of Shape Effects on Adsorption Kinetics using Random Sequential
Adsorption Model (RSA) and Its Variants.” RSA model is used to study the kinetics of
irreversible adsorption of macromolecules in case of monolayer formation. Using this model we
studied different types of systems analytically and by computer simulation. In computer
simulation Monte Carlo technique is employed. In first problem we studied blocking effects in
irreversible adsorption of linear macromolecules by proposing a new model namely Random
Sequential Ballistics Adsorption (RSBA) model, as a variant of basic RSA model. This model
considers arrival trajectories of the adsorbing objects. We analytically and by computer
simulation showed that the number density n(t ) of adsorbed linear macromolecules follows
law n(t ) ~ t 2 / 3 . This work is published in the international journal, Surface Science 601, 274
(2007). In second problem by carrying out computer simulation of RSA of star-shaped, circular-
arc shaped and bracket shaped objects we analytically established universal behavior of power
law approach to the jammed state configuration in case of objects which disallow domain
formation and hence lead to jammed state configuration. This work is published in the
international journal Physical Review E Rapid Communication. In case of RSA of star-shaped
objects above work is extended for various number of arms ranging from 3 to 100. In this
problem we estimated number of objects in the jammed state for each type of the object using
numerical integration. The obtained are published in…..
        Also we studied the coalescence and growth dynamics of water drops on solid benzene
surface. This work has been published in Physical Review Letter, an international journal of very
high repute. The experimental part of this work is carried out by our collaborators. I carried out
computer simulation of the process.
