Abstract
Using the linearity property of the Mullins-Herring equation when the velocity is zero with a Gaussian noise, we obtain an analytic form for the global mean-square surface width and height-height correlation function. This can be used to read the critical exponents in any dimension. In particular for d=1 we show that although the surface is super rough the system exhibits Family-Vicsek scaling behavior.
