Formation of Fractal Clusters and Networks by Irreversible Diffusion-Limited Aggregation
Abstract
A model for diffusion-controlled aggregation in which growing clusters as well as individual particles are mobile has been investigated. Two versions of the model in which the cluster diffusion coefficient is either size independent or inversely proportional to number of particles (mass) give very similar results. In the limit of low concentration and large system size both models lead to structures with a fractal (Hausdorff) dimensionality of about 1.45-1.5 in two-dimensional lattice-based simulations.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
