Abstract

The stochastic Eden model of charged particles aggregation in two-dimensional systems is presented. This model is governed by two parameters: screening length of electrostatic interaction, λ, and short range attraction energy, E. Different patterns of finite and infinite aggregates are observed. They are of following types of morphologies: linear or linear with bending, warm-like, DBM (dense-branching morphology), DBM with nucleus, and compact Eden-like. The transition between the different modes of growth is studied and phase diagram of the growth structures is obtained in λ, E co-ordinates. The detailed aggregate structure analysis, including analysis of their fractal properties, is presented. The scheme of the internal inhomogeneous structure of aggregates is proposed.
