摘要

We suggest a novel stochastic discrete growth model which describes the drifted Edward-Wilkinson (EW) equation h/t=νx2hvxh+η(x,t)\partial h /\partial t = \nu \partial_x^2 h - v\partial_x h +\eta(x,t). From the stochastic model, the anomalous behavior of the drifted EW equation with a defect is analyzed. To physically understand the anomalous behavior the height-height correlation functions C(r)=<h(x0+r)h(x0)>C(r)=< |h({x_0}+r)-h(x_0)|> and G(r)=<h(x0+r)h(x0)2>G(r)=< |h({x_0}+r)-h(x_0)|^2> are also investigated, where the defect is located at x0x_0. The height-height correlation functions follow the power law C(r)rαC(r)\sim r^{\alpha'} and G(r)rαG(r)\sim r^{\alpha''} with α=α=1/4\alpha'=\alpha''=1/4 around a perfect defect at which no growth process is allowed. α=α=1/4\alpha'=\alpha''=1/4 is the same as the anomalous roughness exponent α=1/4\alpha=1/4. For the weak defect at which the growth process is partially allowed, the normal EW behavior is recovered. We also suggest a new type queuing process based on the asymmetry C(r)C(r)C(r) \neq C(-r) of the correlation function around the perfect defect.
