Abstract
We introduce a multiparticle biased diffusion limited aggregation model for dendritic growth. Its most relevant feature is that it includes the overall effect of strong applied electric fields and therefore applies to nonequilibrium situations. We compare simulations of a two species version of our model to actual experiments on preparation of amorphous Co-P alloys with very good agreement: The model accurately reproduces the dependence of composition, morphology, and growth time of the alloy on the current. We conclude with a discussion of specific predictions and possible generalizations of the model.
