This study introduces two growth models for driven interfaces in random media, exploring the Kardar-Parisi-Zhang (KPZ) nonlinearity. Results confirm the sign of the nonlinear term does not alter the universality class for interface growth.

Area of Science:

  • Physics
  • Statistical Mechanics
  • Nonlinear Dynamics

Background:

  • Driven interfaces in random media exhibit complex dynamics.
  • The Kardar-Parisi-Zhang (KPZ) equation is a fundamental model for interface growth.
  • Understanding the role of nonlinearity is crucial for characterizing universality classes.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To introduce and analyze two novel self-organized growth models.
  • To investigate the impact of the Kardar-Parisi-Zhang (KPZ) nonlinearity sign on interface dynamics.
  • To determine the critical exponents and universality classes for these models.

Main Methods:

  • Development of two self-organized growth models.
  • Implementation of quenched Kardar-Parisi-Zhang (KPZ) equations with positive and negative nonlinear terms.

  • Calculation of critical exponents to classify universality classes.

    • Main Results:

    • Both models successfully describe driven interface motion in random media.
    • Critical exponents were obtained for both the positive and negative nonlinear term models.
    • The sign of the KPZ nonlinear term was found to have no effect on the universality class.

    Conclusions:

    • The sign of the nonlinear term in the KPZ equation does not influence the universality class of driven interface growth.
    • The developed models provide insights into the robustness of universality classes under nonlinear perturbations.
    • Further research can explore other nonlinearities and their impact on interface dynamics.
