In this model an arbitrary mixture of molecules with distinct sizes $s = 0,1,2,...$, in units of lattice space, diffuses asymmetrically on the lattice. A related surface growth model is also presented. Variations of the distribution of molecules's sizes may change the excluded volume almost continuously. We solve the model exactly through the Bethe ansatz and the dynamical critical exponent $z$ is calculated from the finite-size corrections of the mass gap of the related quantum chain. Our results show that for an arbitrary distribution of molecules the dynamical critical behavior is on the Kardar-Parizi-Zhang (KPZ) universality.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "1999-04-09T14:25:22.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "asymmetric exclusion model", "exact solution", "arbitrary size", "simple exclusion asymmetric model", "related surface growth model" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "publisher": "APS", "journal": "Phys.
