Abstract
It is known experimentally that the diffusion of colloidal particles prior to their adhesion on a solid-liquid interface influences strongly the statistical properties of the assembly of deposited particles. However, in order to perform the simulations taking the diffusion into account, two constraints have been introduced: a maximum number of collisions an adsorbing particle is allowed to make before it is rejected, and/or the height of a rejection plane above the adsorption plane. Their influence on the variance of the number of particles distributed over the subsystems, which is used experimentally to discriminate between different deposition processes, is analyzed in this article. It is shown that great care has to be taken in a comparison between experimental and simulation data. \textcopyright{} 1996 The American Physical Society.
