Multisurface coding simulations of the restricted solid-on-solid model in four dimensions

Multisurface coding simulations of the restricted solid-on-solid model in four dimensions.

We study the restricted solid-on-solid model for surface growth in spatial dimension d=4 by means of a multisurface coding technique that allows us to analyze samples of size up to 256(4) in the steady-state regime. For such large systems we are able to achieve a controlled asymptotic regime where the typical scale of the fluctuations are larger than the lattice spacing used in the simulations....

Coarse-graining a restricted solid-on-solid model.

A procedure suggested by Vvedensky for obtaining continuum equations as the coarse-grained limit of discrete models is applied to the restricted solid-on-solid model with both adsorption and desorption. Using an expansion of the master equation, discrete Langevin equations are derived; these agree quantitatively with direct simulation of the model. From these, a continuum differential equation ...

Roughening transition of a restricted solid-on-solid model in the directed percolation universality class.

We carried out a finite-size scaling analysis of the restricted solid-on-solid version of a recently introduced growth model that exhibits a roughening transition accompanied by spontaneous symmetry breaking. The dynamic critical exponent of the model was calculated and found to be consistent with the universality class of the directed percolation process in a symmetry-broken phase with a cross...

Universality class of the restricted solid-on-solid model with hopping.

We study the restricted solid-on-solid (RSOS) model with finite hopping distance l(0), using both analytical and numerical methods. Analytically, we use the hard-core bosonic field theory developed by the authors [Phys. Rev. E 62, 7642 (2000)] and derive the Villain-Lai-Das Sarma (VLD) equation for the l(0)=infinity case, which corresponds to the conserved RSOS (CRSOS) model and the Kardar-Pari...
