Short-time scaling behavior of growing interfaces

Statistical Mechanics 2009-10-30 v1

Abstract

The short-time evolution of a growing interface is studied analytically and numerically for the Kadar-Parisi-Zhang (KPZ) universality class. The scaling behavior of response and correlation functions is reminiscent of the ``initial slip'' behavior found in purely dissipative critical relaxation (model A). Unlike model A the initial slip exponent for the KPZ equation can be expressed by the dynamical exponent z. In 2+1 dimensions z is estimated from the short-time evolution of the correlation function for ballistic deposition and for the RSOS model.
