Nonequilibrium phase transition in surface growth
– Conserved growth models that exhibit a nonlinear instability in which the height (depth) of isolated pillars (grooves) grows in time are studied by numerical integration and stochastic simulation. When this instability is controlled by the introduction of an infinite series of higher-order nonlinear terms, these models exhibit, as function of a control parameter, a non-equilibrium phase trans...
متن کاملFirst-order phase transition in a nonequilibrium growth process
We introduce a simple continuous model for nonequilibrium surface growth. The dynamics of the system is defined by the Kardar-Parisi-Zhang equation with a Morse-like potential representing a short range interaction between the surface and the substrate. The mean field solution displays a nontrivial phase diagram with a first-order transition between a growing and a bound surface, associated wit...
متن کاملPersistence in nonequilibrium surface growth.
Persistence probabilities of the interface height in ( 1+1 ) - and ( 2+1 ) -dimensional atomistic, solid-on-solid, stochastic models of surface growth are studied using kinetic Monte Carlo simulations, with emphasis on models that belong to the molecular beam epitaxy (MBE) universality class. Both the initial transient and the long-time steady-state regimes are investigated. We show that for gr...
متن کاملNonequilibrium phase transition in a driven Potts model with friction.
We consider magnetic friction between two systems of q-state Potts spins which are moving along their boundaries with a relative constant velocity ν. Due to the interaction between the surface spins there is a permanent energy flow and the system is in a steady state, which is far from equilibrium. The problem is treated analytically in the limit ν=∞ (in one dimension, as well as in two dimensi...
متن کاملSurfactant-Mediated Surface Growth: Nonequilibrium Theory
A number of recent experiments have showed that surfactants can modify the growth mode of an epitaxial film, suppressing islanding and promoting layer-by-layer growth. Here a set of coupled equations are introduced to describe the coupling between a growing interface and a thin surfactant layer deposited on the top of the nonequilibrium surface . The equations are derived using the main experim...
