32. The results reported in Figure 4 are thermodynamic results and do not imply a specific growth mechanism. In general, clusters can grow both by cluster-cluster aggregation or by cluster-monomer aggregation. Also, the lifetime of each cluster, between distinct coalescence and growth events, may not be sufficient for the establishment of a thermodynamic equilibrium configuration, In this respect, the size dependence of the ground-state energy does not describe the process of cluster growth. Still, the calculated size dependence of the ground-state energy allows us to estimate if, under specific choices of the parameters, aggregation will proceed indefinitely or if the driving force for aggregation will vanish beyond a critical size, in which case, even in a diffusion-controlled growth regime, aggregation will stop.
