baloonworld2Diffusion limited aggregation
DLA is a process in which particles wonder at random on some smooth surface (substrate) before bonding to some defect. Despite the random nature of the growth, it gives rise to characteristic, statistically similar growth patterns around the defect. Various statistical properties of the aggregates, (in this investigation we will concern ourselves mostly with its dimensionality) are dependant on properties of the system; in this investigation these relationships will be explored
In the course of this investigation, values corresponding to binding energy/free energy ratio, and the isotropy of the substrate will be considered. As well as this, various aspects of the model will be adjusted which have no clear physical equivalent, often to the end of proving that the choice of a unphysical option does not necessarily invalidate the results obtained.
In the real world, DLA occurs during the deposition of metals during electrochemical reactions
