Anisotropy and the approach to scaling in monodisperse reaction-limited cluster-cluster aggregation

Abstract

The authors have investigated several models of monodisperse reaction-limited cluster-cluster aggregation in two and three dimensions and have obtained the first systematic theoretical estimations of the overall anisotropy of cluster-cluster aggregates, and the way in which small clusters approach scaling. Their results are supported by simulation and confirm that in the monodisperse case the approach to scaling is very rapid and the clusters are significantly aspherical in aspect ratio
