Abstract We found a crossover from a Berezinskii-Kosterlitz-Thouless (BKT, logarithmic-rough surface to a Kardar-Parisi-Zhang (KPZ, algebraic)-rough surface for growing/recessing vicinal crystal surfaces in the non-equilibrium steady state using the Monte-Carlo method. We also found that the crossover point from a BKT-rough surface to a KPZ-rough surface is different from the kinetic roughening point for the (001) surface. Multilevel islands and negative islands (island-shaped holes) on the terrace formed by the two-dimensional nucleation process are found to block surface fluctuations, which contributes to making a BKT-rough surface.
