Phase Transitions in Nonequilibrium Steady States and Power Laws and Scaling Functions of Surface Growth Processes
نویسنده
چکیده
Three models of surface growth processes in nonequilibrium steady state (NESS): Edwards–Wilkinson Model, Mullins–Herring Model and Kardar–Parisi–Zhang Model, are presented. Power laws, universality of non-equilibrium distributions, and scaling functions are discussed in details together with some experiment results.

A Numerical Study of KPZ Equation Based on Changing its Parameters
In this article we investigate the behaviour of the scaling exponentsof KPZ equation through changing three parameters of the equation. Inother words we would like to know how the growth exponent β and theroughness exponent α will change if the surface tension ν , the averagevelocity λ and the noise strength γchange. Using the discrete form of theequation , first we come to the results α = 0.5 ...
متن کاملPair Contact Process with Diffusion: Field Theory
– We elucidate the mechanism underlying the continuous nonequilibrium phase transition of the Pair Contact Process with Diffusion (PCPD). We compute its scaling exponents to second order in an ε-expansion around the upper critical dimension dc = 2 within a simple functional renormalization group (RG) approach. In particular, we establish that the PCPD is not in the directed percolation universa...
متن کاملDynamics and Scaling of Noise–Induced Domain Growth
The domain growth processes originating from noise-induced nonequilibrium phase transitions are analyzed, both for non-conserved and conserved dynamics. The existence of a dynamical scaling regime is established in the two cases, and the corresponding growth laws are determined. The resulting universal dynamical scaling scenarios are those of Allen-Cahn and Lifshitz-Slyozov, respectively. Addit...
متن کاملField-Theory Approaches to Nonequilibrium Dynamics
It is explained how field-theoretic methods and the dynamic renormalisation group (RG) can be applied to study the universal scaling properties of systems that either undergo a continuous phase transition or display generic scale invariance, both near and far from thermal equilibrium. Part 1 introduces the response functional field theory representation of (nonlinear) Langevin equations. The RG...
متن کاملUniversality class of nonequilibrium phase transitions with infinitely many absorbing states.
We consider systems whose steady states exhibit a nonequilibrium phase transition from an active state to one-among an infinite number-absorbing state, as some control parameter is varied across a threshold value. The pair contact process, stochastic fixed-energy sandpiles, activated random walks, and many other cellular automata or reaction-diffusion processes are covered by our analysis. We a...
