摘要
An asymptotically exact Fokker-Planck equation for the height fluctuations of lattice deposition models is derived from a Van Kampen expansion of the master equation. Using an Edwards-Wilkinson-type model as an example, the solution of the equivalent Langevin equation reproduces the surface roughness and lateral height correlations obtained with kinetic Monte Carlo (KMC) simulations. Our discrete equations of motion thereby provide an exact analytic and computational alternative to KMC simulations of these models.
