Abstract
We have studied the kinetic roughening behavior of the fronts of coffee-ring aggregates via extensive numerical simulations of the off-lattice model considered for this context in [C.\ S.\ Dias {\it et al.}, Soft Matter {\bf 14}, 1903 (2018)]. This model describes ballistic aggregation of patchy colloids and depends on a parameter $r_\mathrm{AB}$ which controls the affinity of the two patches, A and B. Suitable boundary conditions allow us to elucidate a discontinuous pinning-depinning transition at $r_\mathrm{AB}=0$, with the front displaying intrinsic anomalous scaling, but with unusual exponent values $\alpha \simeq 1.2$, $\alpha_{\rm loc} \simeq 0.5$, $\beta\simeq 1$, and $z\simeq 1.2$. For $0 0.01$ and the system suffers a strong crossover dominated by the $r_\mathrm{AB}=0$ behavior for $r_\mathrm{AB}\le 0.01$. A detailed analysis of correlation functions shows that the aggregate fronts are always in the moving phase for $0Comment: 16 pages and 20 figures. Final version published in PRE
