Abstract
The relaxation process of vicinal surface is analyzed by the Ginzburg Landau Langevin(GLL)equation based on the harmonically interacting step picture. Using the GLL equation, we calculate the time evolution of the quantities expressing step fluctuation, such as the step diffusion length, the step deformation width and the step fluctuation width. The GLL analysis shows a scalinglaw behavior of those quantities.
