Explore the hidden rules governing the growth of snow particles on a window through computer simulation. Investigate the behavior of Ag on Pt at 110K, using ballistic deposition and analyzing L=200, 35000 particles. Measure surface roughness and saturation of width over time. Discover the cross-over time and how it relates to system size. Achieve curve collapse by using proper units of length and time. Study 2D growth and diffusion-limited aggregation.

Random deposition of particles: simulation of the real world
Use computer simulation to find out the hidden rules behind the growth
L=200 35000 particles <h(t)> ~ t
Surface roughness v.s. time Saturation of the width Cross-over
Both the cross-over time and the surface roughness depends on system size L
With proper units of length and time, all the curves can be “collapsed” to the same curve
