Phase Equilibria and Thermodynamics

For original paper see Baran et al. ibid., vol.22, p.L855 (1989). Use of the random sequential adsorption (RSA) model to investigate the existence of metastable and glassy phases is discussed. It is argued that, in its simple version, the RSA model is not appropriate for studying such phases. Improved versions are suggested.
