Finite size effect of the ballistic depositionmodel with shadowing

Abstract

The model of ballistic deposition (BD) with shadowing means that the tilt incidence of particles in a certain angle of distribution is taken into account based on the BD model. In this paper,in order to investigate the finite size effect and the scaling properties of the BD with shadowing,the extrapolation method is used to determine the asymptotic scaling exponents of the model in the large-size limit. The simulation results illustrate that the finite size effect on BD with shadowing is different from that on BD, and the shadowing as a nonlocal interation can significantly change the scaling properties of BD model.
