Abstract
Restricted solid-on-solid (RSOS) models with finite-distance hoppings are studied. A randomly dropped particle is allowed to hop to find the nearest site satisfying the RSOS condition within a finite hopping distance lc. If the particle can find such a site within the distance lc, then the growth is permitted at that site. If the particle cannot find the site within the distance lc, the particle is abandoned and the new particle is dropped. It is found that in the substrate dimensions ds = 1 and 2 the universality of such models crosses over from the Kadar-Parisi-Zhang (KPZ) class (lc = 0) to the conserved-KPZ class (lc = ∞) at finite lc. The tilt-dependent growth velocity and the surface current are also studied to understand the crossover physically.
