Nonequilibrium dynamics of a growing interface

Abstract: Abstract. A growing interface subject to noise is described by the KardarParisi-Zhang equation or, equivalently, the noisy Burgers equation. In one dimension this equation is analyzed by means of a weak noise canonical phase space approach applied to the associated Fokker-Planck equation. The growth morphology is characterized by a gas of nonlinear soliton modes with superimposed linear diffusive modes. We also discuss the ensuing scaling properties.

“…The possibility to interpret KPZ as a gas of solitons was put forward by Fogedby [57] starting with the WKB solution of the Fokker-Planck equation in the weak noise limit, with in particular the prediction of the dispersion relation |k| 3/2 as a function of momentum k, corresponding in our notations to κ 3 a (ν) ∼ |a| 3/2 for large a, see also [58] for recent related work.…”

“…The function s → log e sh(x,t) is the cumulant generating function of the height. At late times, (17) implies that the cumulant generating function is equal to te(s) + log θ(s; h 0 ) up to exponentially small corrections. The Legendre transform g of e is the large deviation function of the height in the stationary state, i.e., the probability density of the height behaves as P(h(x, t) = tu) ∼ e −tg(u) for large t.…”

“…Another issue is the clear experimental observation of the KPZ universality and the role of quenched noise in the asymptotic KPZ scaling [5,8,16]. For one dimensional KPZ growth, by applying a weak noise canonical phase-space method, it has been shown recently that the KPZ dynamic exponent is associated with the soliton dispersion law [17]. However, at saturation all KPZ correlations are exactly the same as would result from the linear EW equation [5,17,18].…”

However, at saturation all KPZ correlations are exactly the same as would result from the linear EW equation [5,17,18]. The fact that the EW equation is sort of "embedded" in the KPZ equation may give rise to ambiguous values of scaling exponents for growth mechanisms (or models) that interpolate between the weak and the strong nonlinear coupling regimes.…”
