Abstract
The interface of the Eden clusters on percolation networks and the ballistic deposition model is studied by Monte Carlo simulations, using a simple definition for the surface thickness. The width of the active zone in the ballistic deposition model is found to diverge differently from the mean height, indicating breakdown of the single scaling length assumption in this model. The exponents nu and nu ' describing, respectively, the divergence of the radius and the active zone of the Eden clusters on percolation networks appear to be the same within the statistical errors. The central value of nu ', however, is slightly, but systematically, less than nu . The surface thickness of ballistic deposits is shown to exhibit finite-size scaling.Keywords
