Abstract
We study the kinetic roughening of the single-step (SS) growth model with a tunable parameter p in 1+1 and 2+1 dimensions by performing extensive numerical simulations. We show that there exists a very slow crossover from an intermediate regime dominated by the Edwards-Wilkinson class to an asymptotic regime dominated by the Kardar-Parisi-Zhang (KPZ) class for any p<1/2. We also identify the crossover time, the nonlinear coupling constant, and some nonuniversal parameters in the KPZ equation as a function p. The effective nonuniversal parameters are continuously decreasing with p but not in a linear fashion. Our results provide complete and conclusive evidence that the SS model for p≠1/2 belongs to the KPZ universality class in 2+1 dimensions.
