From: Time Invariant Surface Roughness Evolution during Atmospheric Pressure Thin Film Depositions
(a) The ω(t) function shown for each SOS simulation over 1,500 time steps. It is evident that after reaching a critical roughness, which appears to be a function of hl (denoted on the right of each plot), ω thereafter remains invariant. (b) The ω(t) function shown for each ballistic simulation. The ωc occurrence is independent of the aggregation scheme used. (c) Critical roughness values as a function of hl. This relationship appears linear except for hl values very near the surface. These values may not be important in practice because achieving hl values so close to the surface would require extreme deposition pressures.
