Dynamical Transitions of a Driven Ising Interface

Statistical Mechanics 2009-11-13 v1

Abstract

We study the structure of an interface in a three dimensional Ising system created by an external non-uniform field H(r,t)H({\bf r},t). HH changes sign over a two dimensional plane of arbitrary orientation. When the field is pulled with velocity ve{\bf v}_e, (i.e. H(r,t)=H(rvet)H({\bf r},t) = H({\bf r - v_e}t)), the interface undergoes a several dynamical transitions. For low velocities it is pinned by the field profile and moves along with it, the distribution of local slopes undergoing a series of commensurate-incommensurate transitions. For large ve{\bf v}_e the interface de-pinns and grows with KPZ exponents.
