Disordered systems submitted to a slowly increasing external stress often reacts with a jerky dynamics characterized by bursts of activity, called avalanches, which are the manifestation of an out-of-equilibrium phase transition. This…

The coarsening process in a class of driven systems exhibiting striped structures is studied. The dynamics is governed by the motion of the driven interfaces between the stripes. When two interfaces meet they coalesce thus giving rise to a…
An object moving through a plane interface into a fluid deforms the interface in such a way that fluid from one side of the interface is entrained into the other side, a phenomenon known as Darwin's drift. We investigate this phenomenon…
We have studied the kinetic roughening of an oil--air interface in a forced imbibition experiment in a horizontal Hele--Shaw cell with quenched disorder. Different disorder configurations, characterized by their persistence length in the…
The phenomenon of arrest of an unstably-growing crack due to a curved weak interface is investigated. The weak interface can produce the deviation of the crack path, trapping the crack at the interface, leading to stable crack growth for…
Interplay between kinetic roughening and phase ordering is studied in a growth SOS model with two kinds of particles and Ising-like interaction by Monte Carlo simulations. We found that, for a sufficiently large coupling, growth is strongly…
We present a systematic study of interface roughness and its effect on coherent dynamical processes in quantum dots. The potential due to a sharp, flat interface lifts the degeneracy of the lowest energy valleys and yields a set of valley…
The boundary conditions at the deformable interface between two contacting fluids are derived for the general case of the large-amplitude perturbations. The interface is modeled as perturbed free boundary that evolves in time, and the…

The growth of stochastic interfaces in the vicinity of a boundary and the non-trivial crossover towards the behaviour deep in the bulk is analysed. The causal interactions of the interface with the boundary lead to a roughness larger near…
The effect of a drift term in the presence of fixed boundaries is studied for the one-dimensional Edwards-Wilkinson equation, to reveal a general mechanism that causes a change of exponents for a very broad class of growth processes. This…
The properties of tissue interfaces -- between separate populations of cells, or between a group of cells and its environment -- has attracted intense theoretical, computational, and experimental study. Recent work on shape-based models…
We discuss the application of wavelet transforms to a critical interface model, which is known to provide a good description of Barkhausen noise in soft ferromagnets. The two-dimensional version of the model (one-dimensional interface) is…
