By means of noise reduction we investigate the scaling behaviour of the surface width w of d-dimensional Eden clusters growing on flat substrates of linear extent L. We find that w scales for small average deposit height h as hβ, and in the steady state as Lα. Our results for d = 3 (α = 0.33 ± 0.01, β = 0.22 ± 0.02) and for d = 4 (α = 0.24 ± 0.02, β = 0.146 ± 0.015) support the scaling relation α(1 + 1/β) = 2. They suggest that α instead of being superuniversal might be equal to 1/d.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
