We investigate the nonequilibrium roughening transition of a one-dimensionalrestricted solid-on-solid model by directly sampling the stationary probabilitydensity of a suitable order parameter as the surface adsorption rate varies.The shapes of the probability density histograms suggest a typicalGinzburg-Landau scenario for the phase transition of the model, and estimatesof the "magnetic" exponent seem to confirm its mean-field critical behaviour.We also found that the flipping times between the metastable phases of themodel scale exponentially with the system size, signaling the breaking ofergodicity in the thermodynamic limit. Incidentally, we discovered that aclosely related model not considered before also displays a phase transitionwith the same critical behaviour as the original model. Our results support theusefulness of off-critical histogram techniques in the investigation ofnonequilibrium phase transitions. We also briefly discuss in an appendix a goodand simple pseudo-random number generator used in our simulations.
