29. A similar definition of scaled time for a lattice dynamic system can be found in P. M. Gade and C.-K. Hu, Phys. Rev. E PLEEE8 1063-651X 10.1103/PhysRevE.73.036212 73, 036212 (2006).
30. There have been studies of the cluster growth of Ag on planar surface, see e.g., J. M. Zuo and B. Q. Li, Phys. Rev. Lett. PRLTAO 0031-9007 10.1103/PhysRevLett.88.255502 88, 255502 (2002). There is no report of the favorable binding sites of Ag atom.
