We study a model, introduced initially by Gates and Westcott to describe crystal growth evolution, which belongs to the Anisotropic KPZ universality class. It can be thought of as a $(2+1)$-dimensional generalisation of the well known…

We study discrete KPZ growth models deposited on square lattice substrates, whose (average) lateral size enlarges as $L= L_0 + \omega t^{\gamma}$. Our numerical simulations reveal that the competition between the substrate expansion and the…
We study the Kardar-Parisi-Zhang (KPZ) growth equation in one dimension with a noise variance $c(t)$ depending on time. We find that for $c(t)\propto t^{-\alpha}$ there is a transition at $\alpha=1/2$. When $\alpha>1/2$, the solution…
We study a stochastic PDE model for an evolving set $\mathbb{M}(t)\subseteq\mathbb{R}^{\mathrm{d}+1}$ that resembles a continuum version of origin-excited or reinforced random walk. We show that long-time fluctuations of an associated…

A discrete solid-on-solid model of epitaxial growth is introduced which, in a simple manner, takes into account the effect of an Ehrlich-Schwoebel barrier at step edges as well as the local relaxation of incoming particles. Furthermore a…

Recent experimental works on one-dimensional (1D) circular Kardar-Parisi-Zhang (KPZ) systems whose radii decrease in time have reported controversial conclusions about the statistics of their interfaces. Motivated by this, we investigate…
The Kardar-Parisi-Zhang (KPZ) equation for surface growth has been analyzed for over three decades. Some experiments indicated the power law for the interface width, $w(t)\sim t^\beta$, remains the same as in growth on planar surfaces.…
In this work we focus on the two-dimensional anisotropic KPZ (aKPZ) equation, which is formally given by \begin{equation*}\partial_t h =\frac{\nu}{2}\Delta h + \lambda((\partial_1 h)^2 - (\partial_2 h)^2) +…
When a growing interface belonging to the KPZ universality class is tilted with average slope $m$, its average velocity increases in $\frac{\Lambda}{2}\,m^2$, where $\Lambda$ is related to the nonlinear coefficient $\lambda$ of the KPZ…
It has recently been proposed that fluctuating ``pulled'' fronts propagating into an unstable state should not be in the standard KPZ universality class for rough interface growth. We introduce an effective field equation for this class of…
We continue to study a model of disordered interface growth in two dimensions. The interface is given by a height function on the sites of the one--dimensional integer lattice and grows in discrete time: (1) the height above the site $x$…
We analyze in detail the Solid-On-Solid model (SOS) for growth processes on a square substrate in 2+1 dimensions. By using the Markovian surface properties, we introduce an alternative approach for determining the roughness exponent of a…
The short-time evolution of a growing interface is studied analytically and numerically for the Kadar-Parisi-Zhang (KPZ) universality class. The scaling behavior of response and correlation functions is reminiscent of the ``initial slip''…
