Abstract
In the present paper, we study the adsorption thermodynamics of a lattice-gas model with non-additive interactions between adsorbed particles. We have assumed that the energy which links a certain atom with any of its nearest neighbors strongly depends on the state of occupancy in the first coordination sphere of that adatom. By means of Monte Carlo simulations in the grand canonical ensemble the adsorption isotherms, isothermal susceptibility (or equivalently the mean square density fluctuations of adparticles), and isosteric heat of adsorption were calculated and their striking behavior was analyzed and discussed in terms of the low temperature phases formed in the system.
