Condensation and Evaporation of Mutually Repelling Particles :Steady states and limit cycles
Abstract
We study condensation and evaporation of particles which repel each other, using a simple set of rules on a square lattice. Different results are obtained for a mobile and an immobile surface layer.A two point limit cycle is observed for high temperature and low pressure in both cases. Here the coverage oscillates between a high and a low value without ever reaching a steady state. The results for the immobile case depend in addition on the initial coverage.
