Depinning and wetting in nonequilibrium systems

Abstract

We present an extension of equilibrium wetting to nonequilibrium situations particularly suited to systems with anisotropic interactions. Both critical and complete wetting transitions were found and characterized. We have identified a region in the space of parameters (temperature and chemical potential) where the wet and non-wet phases coexist. Emphasis is made on the analogies and differences between equilibrium and nonequilibrium wetting.
