Abstract
The roughness exponent of surfaces obtained by dispersing silica spheres into a quasi-two-dimensional cell is examined. The cell consists of two glass plates separated by a gap, which is comparable in size to the diameter of the beads. Previous work has shown that the quasi-one-dimensional surfaces formed have two distinct roughness exponents in two well-defined length scales, which have a crossover length about 1cm. We have studied the effect of changing the gap between the plates to a limit of about twice the diameter of the beads.
