Establishment of stochastic discrete models for continuum Langevin equation of surface growths Yup Kim and Sooyeon Yoon Kyung-Hee Univ. Dept. of Physics
Based on the relations among Langevin equation, Fokker- Planck equation, and Master equation for the surface growth phenomena. It can be shown that the deposition (evaporation) rate of one particle to(from) the surface is proportional to. Here, and are from the Langevin. From these rates, we can construct easily the discrete stochastic models of the corresponding continuum equation, which can directly be used to analyze the continuum equation. It is shown that this analysis is successfully applied to the quenched Edward-Wilkinson(EW) equa- tion and quenched Kardar-Parisi-Zhang(KPZ) equation as well as the thermal EW and KPZ equations.Abstract
Continuum Langevin Equation : Discretized version : Master Equation : Fokker-Planck Equation : is the transition rate from H’ to H. White noise : A stochastic analysis of continnum Langevin equation for surface growths
If we consider the deposition(evaporation) of only one particle at the unit evolution step. ( a is the lattice constant. ) (deposition) (evaporation) Including quenched disorder in the medium :
Since W (transition rate) > 0, Probability for the unit Monte-Carlo time
Calculation Rule 1. For a given time the transition probability 2. The interface configuration is updated for i site : compare with new random value R. is evaluated for i site.
For the Edward-Wilkinson equation, Simulation Results Growth without quenched noise
For the Kardar-Parisi-Zhang equation,
Growth with quenched noises pinned phase : F < F c critical moving phase : F F c moving phase : F > F c Near but close to the transition threshold F c, the important physical parameter in the regime is the reduced force f average growth velocity
Question? Is the evaporation process accepted, when the rate W ie >0 ? ( Driving force F makes the interface move forward. ) (cf) Interface depinning in a disordered medium numerical results ( Leschhorn, Physica A 195, 324 (1993)) 1. A square lattice where each cell (i, h) is assigned a random pin- ning force i, h which takes the value 1 with probability p and -1 with probability q = 1-p. 3. The interface configuration is updated simultaneously for for all i : is determined for all i. 2. For a given time t the value

original Leschhorn’s model with evaporation allowed Comparison with Leschhorn’s results
Near the threshold F c Our results for the quenched Edward-Wilkinson equation
Near the threshold p c Comparison Leschhorn’s results
For the quenched Kardar-Parisi-Zhang equation, L = 1024, 2 = 0.1, = 0.1
Near the threshold F c
Conclusion and Discussions 1. We construct the discrete stochastic models for the given continuum equation. We confirm that the analysis is successfully applied to the quenched Edward-Wilkinson(EW) equation and quenched Kardar- Parisi-Zhang(KPZ) equation as well as the thermal EW and KPZ equations. 2. We expect the analysis also can be applied to Linear growth equation, Kuramoto-Sivashinsky equation, Conserved volume problem, etc. 3. To verify more accurate application of this analysis, we need Finite size scaling analysis for the quenched EW, KPZ equations, 2-dimensional analysis (phase transition?).
