Dynamics of Nonequilibrium Deposition with Diffusional Relaxation
arXiv:cond-mat/9503063 · doi:10.1142/9789812830647_0005
Abstract
Models of adhesion of extended particles on linear and planar substrates are of interest in interpreting surface deposition in colloid, polymer, and certain biological systems. An introduction is presented to recent theoretical advances in modeling these processes. Effects of diffusional relaxation are surveyed in detail, including results obtained by analytical, large-scale numerical, mean-field and scaling approaches.
