Abstract: | We consider a class of unstable surface growth models,
?t z = -?x J\partial_t z = -\partial_x {\cal J}
,
developing a mound structure of size λ and displaying a
perpetual coarsening process, i.e. an endless increase in time of λ.
The coarsening exponents n,
defined by the growth law of the mound size λ with time,
λ∼tn, were previously found by numerical integration of the
growth equations A. Torcini, P. Politi, Eur. Phys. J. B 25, 519 (2002)].
Recent analytical work
now allows to interpret such findings as finite time effective
exponents. The asymptotic exponents are shown to appear at so large
time that cannot be reached by direct integration of
the growth equations. The reason for the appearance of effective exponents
is clearly identified. |
