This study explores finite temperature solid-on-solid growth models. Numerical simulations reveal surface tension affects growth rates, while the roughening exponent remains stable across temperatures.

Area of Science:

  • Condensed Matter Physics
  • Statistical Mechanics
  • Surface Science

Background:

  • Body-centered solid-on-solid (BCSOSS) growth models are fundamental in understanding surface evolution.
  • Investigating these models at finite temperatures introduces complexities due to thermal fluctuations.
  • The dynamics of growing interfaces are crucial in various physical phenomena, from crystal growth to thin-film deposition.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To analyze a finite temperature version of BCSOSS growth models in 1+1 dimensions.
  • To numerically determine the dynamic exponent of the growing interface.
  • To investigate the influence of temperature and surface tension on growth dynamics and interface stability.

Main Methods:

  • Numerical analysis using the spectrum gap of the evolution operator.

  • Finite size scaling analysis to probe system behavior.
  • Large scale simulations to observe growth patterns.

    • Main Results:

    • The dynamic exponent of the growing interface is influenced by a surface tension term.
    • Growth rates are dependent on this nonuniversal surface tension effect.
    • The roughening exponent demonstrates robustness and remains consistent over a broad temperature range.

    Conclusions:

    • Finite temperature significantly impacts the growth dynamics of BCSOSS models through surface tension.
    • Despite temperature variations, the fundamental roughening behavior of the interface is preserved.
    • The study highlights the interplay between thermal effects, surface properties, and interface morphology in growth processes.
