Abstract:	In this paper, we develop a cellular automata model to study the coverage fluctuations in monolayers of irreversible adsorbed particles. The effect of bulk diffusion and excluded volume interactions between adsorbed and incoming particles on coverage fluctuations is analyzed by simulations and analytically. We also show that the macroscopic boundary and initial conditions imposed at the system (open or closed cell) determine the effect of these factors on coverage fluctuations. In fact, under certain conditions, the excluded volume interactions only influence fluctuations near the jamming limit.
