“…In an earlier experiment [14] x 0.71͑5͒ was found and interpreted in terms of the moving phase of the DPD model. Very recently, a crossover to TKPZ scaling was also seen in kinetic roughening of penetrating flux fronts in high-T c thin film superconductors [15].…”

“…(1)] cannot fully explain the slowcombustion experiments. In particular, the suggested DPD behavior [14,17] is ruled out unlike in the recent experiments on thin-film superconductors [15]. We emphasize that, to obtain reliable scaling properties for the fronts, sufficient statistics and careful sample preparation are absolutely necessary.…”

“…This is clearly illustrated nowadays by the large variety of studies dealing with front invasion where roughening processes take place such as flow through porous media [16][17][18] or imbibition [19], flame propagation [20,21], deposition processes [14,15], and flux penetration in superconducting materials [32,33,45,46]. From a macroscopic point of view, the development of modeling techniques for the description of these dynamical systems has been generally based on the traditional approach to transport phenomena, where the governing expressions are usually differential equations representing local balances of the quantity of interest (e.g., mass, momentum, flux of superconducting vortices, etc.)…”

A wide variety of interacting particle assemblies driven by an external force are characterized by a transition between a blocked and a moving phase. The origin of this deblocking transition can be traced back to the presence of either external quenched disorder, or of internal constraints. The first case belongs to the realm of the depinning transition, which, for example, is relevant for flux-lines in type II superconductors and other elastic systems moving in a random medium. The second case is usually included within the so-called jamming scenario observed, for instance, in many glassy materials as well as in plastically deforming crystals. Here we review some aspects of the rich phenomenology observed in interacting particle models. In particular, we discuss front depinning, observed when particles are injected inside a random medium from the boundary, elastic and plastic depinning in particle assemblies driven by external forces, and the rheology of systems close to the jamming transition. We emphasize similarities and differences in these phenomena.

“…The interest is roused by the wide range of phenomena where roughening occurs: fluid flow in porous media [3,[6][7][8], propagation of flame fronts in forest fires and in paper [9][10][11], deposition processes [2,4], bacterial growth [2], and tumor growth [12]. It has been proposed that the gradual thermal depinning of a single vortex line in a superconductor with randomly distributed weak pinning centers might exhibit increased roughening [2].…”

Kinetic Roughening of Penetrating Flux Fronts in High-TcThin Film Superconductors

et al. 1999

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Kinetic roughening of flux fronts penetrating in superconducting thin films are studied by means of a high resolution magneto-optic technique. The roughening exponent ͑a 0.64͒ and growth exponent ͑b 0.65͒ obtained from a dynamic scaling analysis of the initial stage of flux penetration and, at small length scales, are characteristic for a static disorder dominated nonlinear diffusion such as also observed in the directed percolated depinning model. At large length scale, a 0.46 indicates a transition towards dynamic stochastic disorder, similar to the behavior of Kardar-Parisi-Zhang systems. There is a striking similarity with the behavior of combustion fronts in burning paper.
