In ballistic deposition (BD), $(d+1)$-dimensional particles fall sequentially at random towards an initially flat, large but bounded $d$-dimensional surface, and each particle sticks to the first point of contact. For both lattice and…
We consider the free boundary problem for two layers of immiscible, viscous, incompressible fluid in a uniform gravitational field, lying above a general rigid bottom in a three-dimensional horizontally periodic setting. We establish the…
We study a restricted solid-on-solid (RSOS) model involving deposition and evaporation with probabilities p and 1-p, respectively, in one-dimensional substrates. It presents a crossover from Edwards-Wilkinson (EW) to Kardar-Parisi-Zhang…
The scaling behavior of cyclical surface growth (e.g. deposition/desorption), with the number of cycles n, is investigated. The roughness of surfaces grown by two linear primary processes follows a scaling behavior with asymptotic exponents…
Inhomogeneities in deposition may lead to formation of rough surfaces, whose height fluctuations can be probed directly by scanning microscopy, or indirectly by scattering. Analytical or numerical treatments of simple growth models suggest…
The Kardar-Parisi-Zhang (KPZ) class is a paradigmatic example of universality in nonequilibrium phenomena, but clear experimental evidences of asymptotic 2D-KPZ statistics are still very rare, and far less understanding stems from its…
The well-known Edwards-Wilkinson equation with a flow term added exhibits a smoothing fixed point in addition to the normal EW fixed point. Based on this, we present a model of sandpiles involving a coupling between fixed and mobile grains,…
We explore linear control of the one-dimensional non-linear Kardar--Parisi--Zhang (KPZ) equation with the goal to understand the effects the control process has on the dynamics and on the stationary state of the resulting stochastic growth…
Travelling and rotating waves are ubiquitous phenomena observed in time dependent PDEs modelling the combined effect of dissipation and non-linear interaction. From an abstract viewpoint they appear as relative equilibria of an equivariant…
We show numerically that the roughness and growth exponents of a wide range of rough surfaces, such as random deposition with relaxation (RDR), ballistic deposition (BD) and restricted solid-on-solid model (RSOS), are independent of the…
It is shown that surface conduction can stabilize electrodeposition in random, charged porous media at high rates, above the diffusion-limited current. After linear sweep voltammetry and impedance spectroscopy, copper electrodeposits are…
The re-solidification of amorphous solids after mechanically driven yielding from a nonequilibrium state is a fundamental soft matter science problem of broad relevance in materials science, with implications for material strength,…
The dynamic scaling of curved interfaces presents features that are strikingly different from those of the planar ones. Spherical surfaces above one dimension are flat because the noise is irrelevant in such cases. Kinetic roughening is…
There are two main universality classes for depinning of elastic interfaces in disordered media: quenched Edwards-Wilkinson (qEW), and quenched Kardar-Parisi-Zhang (qKPZ). The first class is relevant as long as the elastic force between two…
Einstein equations are addressed with the energy-momentum tensor that appears if the equations under discussion are required to possess conformal invariance. It is proved that thus derived equations (equations of conformally invariant…
We introduce a solid on solid lattice model for growth with conditional evaporation. A measure of finite size effects is obtained by observing the time invariance of distribution of local height fluctuations. The model parameters are chosen…
Surface growth models may give rise to unstable growth with mound formation whose tipical linear size L increases in time. In one dimensional systems coarsening is generally driven by an attractive interaction between domain walls or kinks.…
Flat surface phases are unstable during growth and known to become rough. This does not exclude the possibility that surface reconstruction order persists in rough growing surfaces, in analogy with so-called equilibrium reconstructed rough…
We investigate the behavior of discrete interface growth models belonging to the Edwards--Wilkinson (EW) and Kardar--Parisi--Zhang (KPZ) universality classes, when defined on a complete graph, a topology commonly used to probe the…
An investigation of the effect of surface diffusion in random deposition model is made by analytical methods and reasoning. For any given site, the extent to which a particle can diffuse is decided by the morphology in the immediate…
