Spectral Dimension for the Diffusion-Limited Aggregation Model of Colloid Growth

Abstract
The spectral dimension ds=2dfdw is calcualted for the diffusion-limited aggregation model of colloids and dendritic growth; here df is the fractal dimension of the aggregate, and dw the fractal dimension of a random walk on the cluster substrate. ds=1.21.4 is found for d=2 and 3, to within the accuracy of the present Monte Carlo calculations. Thus Witten-Sander aggregates may possess the same remarkable "superuniversality" discovered for percolation clusters and argued to possibly hold for all homogeneous fractals.
