Abstract: C1.00221 : Simulation studies of diffusion limited ballistic growth of particles from a surface
Author:
Motivated by electroless deposition of metals on polymeric surfaces
we plan to study evolving morphologies of deposited particles
from a
surface using Monte Carlo simulation in continuum which shares
characteristics of both diffusive and ballistic behavior.
In the proposed model we assume that the particles residing at
the surface of a growing
pattern are capable of attracting particles those are within a
certain range.
Once one of these seed particles attracts a particle it transfers
its
attractive characteristics to the newly adsorbed particle which
then acquires this characteristics
for further growth. The motion of the particles in the bulk is
diffusive.
However, once they are within the range of an ``active''
particle they move ballistically along a straight line and gets
adsorbed to a cluster unless
hindered by other particles on its way. We plan to report the
characteristics of the
evolving patterns as a function of density of the diffusive
particles, the range of the attractive particles, and the speed
of ballistic moves.
