Abstract
A supercritical nucleus with isotropic surface tension growing in a diffusion field is found to evolve into a fractal structure at long times and small driving forces. A newly developed numerical method using a rotated-lattice sandwhich handles the anisotropy problem of the moving boundary. Scaling relations are found in agreement with a recently formulated theory.Keywords
