Interfaces are a most common motif in complex systems. To understand how the presence of interfaces affect hydrophobic phenomena, we use molecular simulations and theory to study hydration of solutes at interfaces. The solutes range in size…

We revisit the sharp-interface continuum thermodynamics of two-phase multicomponent fluid systems, accounting for partial mass and partial momentum balances both in the bulk phases and on the interface. This allows to describe the transfer…
We consider the critical behavior at an interface which separates two semi-infinite subsystems belonging to different universality classes, thus having different set of critical exponents, but having a common transition temperature. We…
We study the dynamics of weakly deformed interfaces separating two stable phases, starting from the fluctuating hydrodynamics of the phase-separating fields. Using a well-chosen definition for the interface and the dynamical-action…
We consider discrete models of kinetic rough interfaces that exhibit space-time scale-invariance in height-height correlation. A generic scaling theory implies that the dynamical structure factor of the height profile can uniquely…
We report on a linear Langevin model that describes the evolution of the roughness of two interfaces that move towards each other and are coupled by a diffusion field. This model aims at describing the closing of the gap between two…

We revisit the sharp-interface continuum thermodynamics of two-phase multicomponent fluid systems with interfacial mass. Since the published work is not fully consistent, we provide a rigorous derivation of the local balance equations and…
Elastic interfaces display scale-invariant geometrical fluctuations at sufficiently large lengthscales. Their asymptotic static roughness then follows a power-law behavior, whose associated exponent provides a robust signature of the…

The influence of nonequilibrium bulk conditions on the properties of the interfaces exhibited by a kinetic Ising--like model system with nonequilibrium steady states is studied. The system is maintained out of equilibrium by perturbing the…
In this paper we investigate the dynamical behavior of an interface or polymer, in interaction with a distant attractive substrate. The interface is modeled by the graph of a nearest neighbor path with non-negative integer coordinates, and…
The static and dynamic properties of a Cosserat-type lattice interface of finite thickness are studied, so that both displacements and rotational degrees of freedom are taken into account. The model allows considering interfaces with a…
We study the steady state structure and dynamics of a 2-d Ising interface placed in an inhomogeneous external field with a sigmoidal profile which moves with velocity $v_{e}$. In the strong coupling limit the problem maps onto an…
