Abstract
Cluster deposition on flat substrates can lead to surprising patterns. This pattern formation can be related either to phenomena taking plac e at the substrate surface or to dynamics in the cluster beam. We desc ribe the observation of a pattern of particles each being an aggregate of Cu clusters. Such patterns obey scaling with respect to particle s ize, the typical scaling exponent being 1.18. The origin of the observ ed scaling is discussed.
