42. 2/3 [see J.-N. Chazalviel, Phys. Rev. A 42, 7355 (1990)]. For the experiments we have compared to or just referred to in our paper, this region ranges from 10 to 100 μm. Comparing the maximum value (100 μm) with the characteristic lateral width of the resulting branches (the order of magnitude of this width is 1 mm), we find that these branches are five times wider than the depletion zone. Translating that into the units of our model we see that for large applied electric field simulations (large p values, in terms of our model), the resulting branch width (of about 50 lattice spacings) gives a depletion zone of about 10 lattice spacings (consistent, as it should be, with the profiles shown in Fig. 2). Thus, for small applied voltages the model is accurate enough, although in the worst case (we have assumed above the worst scenario) some discrepancies might appear for large voltages. However, in this case we expect that due to the large value of p (the current) and the absence of particles next to the aggregate, cations are driven ballistically to it.

45. c depend locally on the concentration field C(x,t), as C. Léger et al. have reported [8].
46. We stress that even if the probabilities are different from those in Refs. [16] and [23], the drift velocity toward the cathode can be shown in all cases to be proportional to p.
