Nonequilibrium dynamics of a growing interface

Abstract

A growing interface subject to noise is described by the Kardar-Parisi-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.
