We study the topology of fluid interfaces in the 3D Ising model in the rough phase. It turns out that such interfaces are accurately described as dilute gases of microscopic handles, and the stiffness of the interface increases with the…
Discretized landscapes can be mapped onto ranked surfaces, where every element (site or bond) has a unique rank associated with its corresponding relative height. By sequentially allocating these elements according to their ranks and…
We propose the existence of a substantial charge current parallel to the interface between a noncentrosymmetric superconductor and a metallic ferromagnet. Our analysis focuses upon two complementary orbital-angular-momentum pairing states…

Band-topology is traditionally analyzed in terms of gauge-invariant observables associated with crystalline Bloch wavefunctions. Recent work has demonstrated that many of the free fermion topological characteristics survive even in an…
We study the boundary effects in invasion percolation with and without trapping. We find that the presence of boundaries introduces a new set of surface critical exponents, as in the case of standard percolation. Numerical simulations show…
We use a phase-separated driven two-dimensional Ising lattice gas to study fluid interfaces exposed to shear flow parallel to the interface. The interface is stabilized by two parallel walls with opposing surface fields and a driving field…
We model an infinitely long liquid bridge confined between two plates chemically patterned by stripes of same width and different contact angle, where the three-phase contact line runs, on average, perpendicular to the stripes. This allows…
We study interfaces in an Allen-Cahn equation, separating two metastable states. Our focus is on a directional quenching scenario, where a parameter renders the system bistable in a half plane and monostable in its complement, with the…
Phase transition in the two-dimensional $q$-state Potts model with random ferromagnetic couplings in the large-q limit is conjectured to be described by the isotropic version of the infinite randomness fixed point of the random…
We continue to study a model of disordered interface growth in two dimensions. The interface is given by a height function on the sites of the one--dimensional integer lattice and grows in discrete time: (1) the height above the site $x$…
Thermal welding of polymer-polymer interfaces is important for integrating polymeric elements into devices. When two different polymers are joined, the strength of the weld depends critically on the degree of immiscibility. We perform…
We employ a functional renormalization group to study interfaces in the presence of a pinning potential in $d=4-\epsilon$ dimensions. In contrast to a previous approach [D.S. Fisher, Phys. Rev. Lett. {\bf 56}, 1964 (1986)] we use a…
Proximity-induced magnetization (PIM) has broad implications across interface-driven spintronics applications employing spin-currents. We directly determine the scaling between PIM in Pt and the temperature-dependent interface magnetization…
We analyze the ergodic properties of a metallic wavefunction for the Anderson model in a disordered random-regular graph with branching number $k=2.$ A few q-moments $I_q$ associated with the zero energy eigenvector are numerically computed…
The roughness of crack interfaces is reported in quasistatic fracture, using an elastic network of beams with random breaking thresholds. For strong disorders we obtain 0.86(3) for the roughness exponent, a result which is very different…
So far the problem of interface behavior upon phase transition has not yet acquired a satisfactory mathematical formulation due to a variety of the physical phenomena involved. Analytical solutions exist only for elementary problems…
