Abstract: The critical behavior of percolating clusters formed upon random sequential adsorption of hot dimers in two dimensions is investigated by means of Monte Carlo simulations and discussed on the basis of finite-size scaling theory. The critical thresholds depend on the flying distance (R) of the monomers formed upon hot dimer adsorption. The model belongs to the same universality class as standard percolation as judged by the evaluated critical exponents. The hot dimer adsorption mechanism introduces an additional characteristic distance (rc = 2R + 1) to the model, which is reflected in the microscopic structure of the percolating clusters for r < rc. The macroscopic structure, for r ⪢ rc, corresponds to standard percolation.
