Abstract
Thermal scaling and relaxation of the interface width in an electrophoretic deposition of polymer chains is examined by a three-dimensional Monte Carlo simulation on a discrete lattice. Variation of the equilibrium interface width with the temperature shows deroughening , with , at low temperatures and roughening , with at high temperatures. The roughening-deroughening transition temperature increases with longer chain lengths and is reduced by using the slower segmental dynamics.
