On the Kinetic Roughening in Polymer Film Growth by Vapor Deposition

arXiv:cond-mat/0010353 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevLett.86.2696

Abstract

This is a Comment on a recent publication: Y.-P. Zhao et al., Phys. Rev. Lett. 85, 3229 (2000). In the Letter, the authors report on an experimental investigation of polymeric (p-xylene) thin film growth and propose a new universality class not previously known. Here, we point out that the critical exponents reported in the Letter are consistent with the critical exponents of Das Sarma-Tamborenea growth model.
