The surface structure of an equilibrium restricted curvature (RC)
model on a Sierpinski gasket substrate is studied. The surface width
W increases as
tβ at early time
t and becomes
saturated at Lα
for , where L
is the system size. The growth exponent
β≈0.323, the roughness
exponent α≈1.54 and the
dynamic exponent z≈4.78
are obtained numerically. They satisfy the scaling relations
2α + df = z and
z = 2zrw very well,
where zrw
is the random walk exponent of the Sierpinski gasket. We introduce a fractional Langevin
equation to describe the model.
A conserved noise restricted solid-on-solid model on both a Sierpinski gasket substrate and a checkerboard fractal substrate is studied. The interface width W grows as t(β) at early time t and becomes saturated at L(α) for t >> L(z), where L is the system size. We obtain β ≈ 0.0788, α ≈ 0.377 for a Sierpinski gasket, and β ≈ 0.100, α ≈ 0.516 for a checkerboard fractal. The dynamic exponent z ≈ 4.79 for a Sierpinski gasket and z ≈ 5.16 for a checkerboard fractal are obtained by the relation z = α/β. They satisfy the scaling relations 4 α + 2 d(f) = z and z = 2 z(rw), where z(rw) is the random-walk exponent of the fractal substrate. A fractional Langevin equation is introduced to describe the model.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
