Abstract

We discuss the asymptotic behaviour as as $t \to \infty$ of rate equations modelling submonolayer deposition for an arbitrary critical island size $i \geq 0$, generalising the results of da Costa, van Rössel and Wattis.

Keywords

submonolayer deposition, asymptotic behaviour, similarity solutions
