Sánchez, M. J. Bernal, and J. M. Riveiro, Phys. Rev. E 50, R2427 (1994)] to quantitatively describe electrochemical deposition experiments. The model allows for a finite density of biased random walkers which irreversibly stick onto a substrate. There is no surface diffusion. Extensive numerical simulations indicate that the interface dynamics is unstable at early times, but asymptotically displays the scaling of the Kardar-Parisi-Zhang universality class. During the time interval in which the surface is unstable, its power spectrum is anomalous; hence, the behaviors at length scales smaller than or comparable with the system size are described by different roughness exponents. These results are expected to apply to a wide range of electrochemical deposition experiments.text/htmleng© The American Physical Society[PACS] Fluctuation phenomena, random processes, noise, and Brownian motion[PACS] Critical point phenomena[PACS] Diffusion; interface formation[PACS] Electrodeposition, electroplatingresearch articleMatemáticashttps://www.doi.org/10.1103/PhysRevE.57.R2491open access
