Abstract

A quasideterministic irreversible growth model is studied, where aggregates are generated by attractive cluster-particle forces proportional to r^-a. It is shown that fractal dimensions and growth site probability measures of the resulting fractal structures strongly depend on the parameter a. Comparison with experimental results indicates that this model represents a further step towards realistic simulations of growth processes.
