We introduce an interface growth model exhibiting a nonequilibrium roughening transition (NRT). In the model, particles consist of two species, and deposit or evaporate on one dimensional substrate according to a given dynamic rule. When…
Thin surfaces are ubiquitous in nature, from leaves to cell membranes, and in technology, from paper to corrugated containers. Structural thinness imbues them with flexibility, the ability to easily bend under light loads, even as their…
Static and dynamic properties of two-dimensional bidisperse dissipative particles are numerically studied near the jamming transition. We investigate the dependency of the critical scaling on the ratio of the different diameters and find a…
It is shown that a superconformal surface with arbitrary codimension in flat Euclidean space has a (necessarily unique) dual superconformal surface if and only if the surface is S-Willmore, the latter a well-known necessary condition to…
Most natural and man-made surfaces appear to be rough on many length scales. There is presently no unifying theory of the origin of roughness or the self-affine nature of surface topography. One likely contributor to the formation of…

Adsorption of polymers to surfaces is crucial for understanding many fundamental processes in nature. Recent experimental studies indicate that the adsorption dynamics is dominated by non-equilibrium effects. We investigate the adsorption…
