Non-equilibrium wetting transition in a magnetic Eden model
نویسندگان
چکیده
Magnetic Eden clusters with ferromagnetic interaction between nearestneighbor spins are grown in a confined 2d-geometry with short range magnetic fields acting on the surfaces. The change of the growing interface curvature driven by the field and the temperature is identified as a non-equilibrium wetting transition and the corresponding phase diagram is evaluated.

The Magnetic Eden Model
In the magnetic Eden model (MEM), particles have a spin and grow in contact with a thermal bath. Although Ising-like interactions affect the growth dynamics, deposited spins are frozen and not allowed to flip. This review article focuses on recent developments and future prospects, such as spontaneous switching phenomena, critical behavior associated with fractal, wetting, and order-disorder ph...
متن کاملQuasi-wetting and morphological phase transitions in confined far-from-equilibrium magnetic thin films
The growth of confined magnetic films with ferromagnetic interactions between nearest-neighbor spins is studied in a stripped (1 + 1)−dimensional rectangular geometry. Magnetic films are grown irreversibly by adding spins at the boundaries of the growing interface. A competing situation with two opposite short range surface magnetic fields of the same magnitude is analyzed. Due to the antisymme...
متن کاملNonequilibrium wetting of finite samples
As a canonical model for wetting far from thermal equilibrium we study a Kardar-Parisi-Zhang interface growing on top of a hard-core substrate. Depending on the average growth velocity the model exhibits a non-equilibrium wetting transition which is characterized by an additional surface critical exponent θ. Simulating the single-step model in one spatial dimension we provide accurate numerical...
متن کاملStochastic theory of non-equilibrium wetting
– We study a Langevin equation describing non-equilibrium depinning and wetting transitions. Attention is focused on short-ranged attractive substrate-interface potentials. We confirm the existence of first-order depinning transitions, in the temperature-chemical potential diagram, and a tricritical point beyond which the transition becomes a non-equilibrium complete wetting transition. The coe...
متن کاملRange expansion with mutation and selection: Dynamical phase transition in a two-species Eden model
The colonization of unoccupied territory by invading species, known as range expansion, is a spatially heterogeneous non-equilibrium growth process. We introduce a two-species Eden growth model to analyze the interplay between uni-directional (irreversible) mutations and selection at the expanding front. While the evolutionary dynamics leads to coalescence of both wild-type and mutant clusters,...
