Establishment of stochastic discrete models for continuum Langevin equation
of surface growths
Yup Kim and Sooyeon YoonKyung-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.

Question? Is the evaporation process accepted, when the rate Wie>0 ? ( Driving force F makes the interface move forward. )

Conclusion and DiscussionsConclusion 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?) .
