Abstract

Adsorption of solvent or organic compounds at a metal/interface is characterized by a wide spectrum of interactions governing the phenomenon under effective fields of order ≈ 107 V/cm. A generalized spin-1 Ising Hamiltonian was formulated by considering various interactions under molecular field approximation (MFA) to arrive at a three-state model of adsorption isotherm (i.e. the joint adsorption of two different organic compounds in the presence of solvent molecules). A general multi-state model was deduced heuristically and an expression for the charge (σM max) at which maximum adsorption (θmax) occurs derived explicitly for a three-state site parity model that incorporates short-range interaction energies, functional dependence of permanent and induced dipole moments of the organic adsorbate, and the solvent and substrate interactions.
