In this work, we studied the role played by the inactive sites present on the substrate of a growing surface. In our model, one particle sticks at the surface if the site where it falls is an active site. However, we allow the deposited particle to diffuse along the surface in accordance with...

We introduce a very simple model for the instantaneous electrodeposition process that takes into account the kinetic roughening during the film growth. The main ingredients of the model are the characteristic time for the cation particles to attain their steady-state velocity and the choice of a...
