Abstract

We investigated two simple SOS growth models where the roughness of the profile is softened by surface relaxation or by refuse. In the first case, a particle can relax until it reaches a local minimum and this process is described by a linear equation. In the second case, a particle can be evaporated and this process is described by the KPZ equation. In this work, we have mixed both the models in the same growth process. Numerical simulations in(1+1)-dimensions show a process that for short times behaves as the surface relaxation model and for intermediate times, behaves as the refuse model. Numerical simulations indicate for this crossover a dynamical exponentz≈1.4, indicating that it is in the KPZ universality class.
