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…
In a recent work [Phys. Rev. E 109, L042102 (2024)], interesting dimensional crossovers [from two- to one-dimensional (2D to 1D) scaling] were found in the growth of Kardar-Parisi-Zhang (KPZ) interfaces on rectangular substrates, with…
The dynamics of driven interfaces through disordered media is a common framework for a myriad of diverse systems starting from mode-I fracture, vortex lines in superconductors, magnetic domain walls to invading fluid in a porous medium to…
A directed avalanche model with a control parameter is introduced to describe the transition between cohesive and noncohesive granular material. The underlying dynamics of the process can be mapped to interface growth model. In that…
We study roughening interfaces with a constant slope that become self organized critical by a rule that is similar to that of invasion percolation. The transient and critical dynamical exponents show Galilean invariance. The activity along…
The propagation of a crack front in disordered materials is jerky and characterized by bursts of activity, called avalanches. These phenomena are the manifestation of an out-of-equilibrium phase transition originated by the disorder. As a…
