Roughening of $k$-mer growing interfaces in stationary regimes

We discuss the steady state dynamics of interfaces with periodic boundary conditions arising from body-centered solid-on-solid growth models in $1+1$ dimensions involving random aggregation of extended particles (dimers, trimers,,$\cdots ,k$-mers). Roughening exponents as well as width and maximal height distributions can be evaluated directly in stationary regimes by mapping the dynamics onto an asymmetric simple exclusion process with $k$-,type of vacancies. Although for $k\ge 2$ the dynamics is partitioned into an exponentially large number of sectors of motion, the results obtained in some generic cases strongly suggest a universal scaling behavior closely following that of monomer interfaces.
