The restricted solid-on-solid (RSOS) model with finite hopping distance belongs to the Kardar-Parisi-Zhang (KPZ) universality class. The conserved RSOS model with infinite hopping distance falls into the Villain-Lai-Das Sarma (VLD) universality class.

Area of Science:

  • Statistical Mechanics
  • Condensed Matter Physics
  • Surface Growth

Background:

  • The restricted solid-on-solid (RSOS) model is a fundamental model for studying surface growth phenomena.
  • Previous research suggested a phase transition in RSOS models at a specific finite hopping distance.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the universality classes of RSOS models with finite hopping distances.
  • To clarify the relationship between RSOS models, conserved RSOS (CRSOS) models, and established growth equations like KPZ and VLD.
  • To determine if a phase transition occurs at a finite hopping distance.

Main Methods:

  • Analytical methods using hard-core bosonic field theory.
  • Derivation of the Villain-Lai-Das Sarma (VLD) equation for the infinite hopping distance case.

  • Monte Carlo simulations to validate analytical findings.

    • Main Results:

    • The conserved RSOS (CRSOS) model with infinite hopping distance belongs to the VLD universality class.
    • RSOS models with any finite hopping distance belong to the KPZ universality class.
    • No phase transition was found at any finite hopping distance, contradicting prior results.

    Conclusions:

    • RSOS models with finite hopping distances are described by the KPZ universality class.
    • The CRSOS model with infinite hopping distance is described by the VLD universality class.
    • The universality class of RSOS models does not change at a finite hopping distance.
