We investigate analytically and numerically a system of clusters evolving via collisions with clusters of minimal mass (monomers). Each collision either leads to the addition of the monomer to the cluster or the chipping of a monomer from the cluster, and emerging behaviors depend on which of the two processes is more probable. If addition prevails, monomers disappear in a time that scales as lnN with the total mass N≫1, and the system reaches a jammed state.

Synopsis of recent research by authors named "R R Dyachenko"

  • R R Dyachenko's recent research focuses on finite-size effects in cluster evolution, specifically through the dynamics of addition and chipping processes when clusters collide with monomers.
  • The findings reveal that the outcome of these collisions—either the addition of a monomer to a cluster or the chipping off of a monomer—drastically impacts the system's behavior based on the probabilities of each process.
  • In scenarios where addition dominates, the research indicates that monomers disappear over time in a manner that scales logarithmically with the total mass, ultimately leading the system to a jammed state.
