Abstract
Models are proposed for thick-film-coverage adsorption on a general fractal surface. The basic idea is that long-range dispersion forces dominate the thermodynamic behavior. The analysis predicts the coverage to be proportional to [ln(/P where P/ is the relative vapor pressure and D is the fractal dimension of the surface. Experimental examples for this behavior are presented. They are rough Ag surfaces, giving D=2.30. .AE
