Vibrational dynamics of cluster-cluster aggregations

Abstract
The vibrational dynamics of diffusion-limited cluster-cluster aggregations (DLCA) and reaction-limited cluster-cluster aggregations (RLCA) are numerically studied. The dependence on particle concentration of the density-density correlation function g(r) and the density of states (DOS) D(ω) are investigated. It is shown that the frequency dependence of the DOS depends on a sticking probability of clusters when an aggregate is formed. The spectral dimension d̃ on a three-dimensional system is obtained as d̃=1.17±0.04 for DLCA, and d̃=1.28±0.03 for RLCA. In addition, the scaling properties for the dynamical structure factor S(q,ω) taking into account the fractality of the DLCA are argued.
