Abstract
We present a deposition and evaporation model for surface growth under a solid-on-solid constraint. We generalize the Ising-spin representation of a two-dimensional surface by Blöte and Hilhorst to ad-dimensional surface of a (d+1)-dimensional hypercubic lattice. The allowed surface configurations correspond to the (degenerate) ground states of a chirald-state Potts model. We describe a vectorized multisite-coding implementation for the corresponding kinetic Potts-spin model ford=2 andd=3. For thed=2 equilibrium surface our simulation results show excellent agreement with an exact analysis.
