We study in detail the dynamic scaling of the three-dimensional (3D) Ising model driven through its critical point on finite-size lattices and show that a series of new critical exponents are needed to account for the anomalous scalings…
We consider the Ising model between 2 and 4 dimensions perturbed by quenched disorder in the strength of the interaction between nearby spins. In the interval 2<d<4 this disorder is a relevant perturbation that drives the system to a new…
We study phase separation in two dimensions in the scaling limit below criticality. The general form of the magnetization profile as the volume goes to infinity is determined exactly within the field theoretical framework which explicitly…
A study is made of properties of the Z(3) interface which forms between the different ordered phases of pure SU(3) gauge theory above a critical temperature. The theory is simulated on a (2+1)-D lattice at various temperatures above this…
Surface fractal dimension Ds is a quantity describing the roughness of pore-solid interface where all interactions between solid matrix and fluid in the pore space occur. Ds also quantifies surface area; the higher the surface fractal…
Interfaces in phase-separated driven liquids are one example of how energy input at the single-particle level changes the long-length-scale material properties of nonequilibrium systems. Here, we measure interfacial fluctuations in…
Two-dimensional Stokes flow with injection and suction is investigated through a second-order, perturbative mode-coupling approach. We examine the time-dependent disturbance of an initially circular interface separating two viscous fluids,…
We study the non-equilibrium evolution of coexisting ferromagnetic domains in the two-dimensional quantum Ising model -- a setup relevant in several contexts, from quantum nucleation dynamics and false-vacuum decay scenarios to recent…
Starting from the recognition that hadrons are not produced smoothly at phase transition, the fluctuation of spatial patterns is investigated by finding a measure of the voids that exhibits scaling behavior. The Ising model is used to…
Interlayer coupling in two-dimensional (2D) layered nanomaterials can provide us novel strategies to evoke their superior properties, such as the exotic flat bands and unconventional superconductivity of twisted layers, the formation of…
Even though the study of interfacial phenomena dates back to Laplace and was formalised by Gibbs, it appears that some concepts and relations among them are still causing some confusion and debates in the literature, particularly for…
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…
The real area of contact of a frictional interface changes rapidly when the normal load is altered, and evolves slowly when normal load is held constant, aging over time. Traditionally, the total area of contact is considered a proxy for…
We study the role of the quench temperature $T_f$ in the phase-ordering kinetics of the Ising model with single spin flip in $d=2,3$. Equilibrium interfaces are flat at $T_f=0$, whereas at $T_f>0$ they are curved and rough (above the…
Until very recently, the asymptotic occurrence of intrinsic anomalous scaling has been expected to require concomitant effects for kinetically rough interfaces, like quenched disorder or morphological instabilities. However, counterexamples…
Recent analyses of wetting in the semi-infinite two dimensional Ising model, extended to include both a surface coupling enhancement and a surface field, have shown that the wetting transition may be effectively first-order and that…
To better understand the temporal characteristics and the lifetime of fluctuations in stochastic processes in networks, we investigated diffusive persistence in various graphs. Global diffusive persistence is defined as the fraction of…
Coarsening systems under uniform shear display a long time regime characterized by the presence of highly stretched and thin domains. The question then arises whether thermal fluctuations may actually destroy this layered structure. To…
The surface tension of monolayers with mixtures of anionic and nonionic surfactant at the liquid/vapour interface is studied. Previous works have observed that calculations of the surface tension of simple fluids show artificial…
We study the roughening of interfaces in phase-separated active suspensions on substrates. At both large length and timescales, we show that the interfacial dynamics belongs to the |q|KPZ universality class discussed in Besse et al. Phys.…
