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...

The dependence of physical quantities on the finite size of a structure and their dependence on the surface roughness are the questions considered in our studies of the ferromagnetic Ising model on two- and three-dimensional systems. In two dimensions, we consider very long strips of random...
