Abstract

We give an overview of the influence of the diffusive instability in forming various growth morphologies. We review dendritic growth of crystals, and discuss the DLA model as an approach to the disordered, fractal case. We consider various systems which are reasonably well described by DLA including island shapes in surface growth.
