Critical behavior of roughening transitions in parity-conserving growth processes.
We investigate a class of parity-conserving solid-on-solid models that describes the growth of an interface by the deposition and evaporation of dimers. As a key feature of the models, evaporation of dimers takes place only at the edges of terraces, leading to a roughening transition between a smooth and a rough phase. We consider several variants of growth models in order to identify universal...
متن کاملStrain-driven transitions between surface reconstructions
Strain can greatly modify the state of a crystal surface, and cause reconstruction and deconstruction phase transitions even at constant temperature. We carried out test calculations of surface free energy differences that illustrate the phenomenon, and parallel simulations that demonstrate directly how the prototype reconstruction of Au(111) should change under bending-induced strain. That sho...
متن کاملDisorder Driven Roughening Transitions of Elastic Manifolds and Periodic Elastic Media
The simultaneous effect of both disorder and crystal-lattice pinning on the equilibrium behavior of oriented elastic objects is studied using scaling arguments and a functional renormalization group technique. Our analysis applies to elastic manifolds, e.g., interfaces, as well as to periodic elastic media, e.g., charge-density waves or flux-line lattices. The competition between both pinning m...
متن کاملDynamics of surface roughening with quenched disorder.
We study the dynamical exponent z for the directed percolation depinning (DPD) class of models for surface roughening in the presence of quenched disorder. We argue that z for d 1 1 dimensions is equal to the exponent dmin characterizing the shortest path between two sites in an isotropic percolation cluster in d dimensions. To test the argument, we perform simulations and calculate z for DPD, ...
متن کاملCrystal surfaces with correlated disorder: Phase transitions between roughening and super-roughening.
A theory for surface transitions in the presence of a disordered pinning potential is presented. Arbitrary disorder correlations are treated in the framework of a dynamical functional renormalization group. The roughening transition, where surface roughness and mobility behave discontinuously, is shown to turn smoothly into the continuous superroughening transition, when the range of disorder c...
