Abstract
The distributions of potential energy for particles adsorbed on hetero geneous surfaces with different energetic topographies have been obtai ned by Monte Carlo simulation. The surfaces themselves were constructe d using Monte Carlo simulations. The energy distributions are analyzed to give information about the roles of heterogeneity and lateral inte ractions in the adsorption process. In addition, these distributions a re shown to be closely related to the conventional local adsorption is otherm.
