Origins of scale invariance in growth processes

Open access
Krug, Joachim·1997·Advances in Physics

Abstract

This review describes recent progress in the understanding of the emergence of scale invariance in far-from-equilibrium growth. The first section is devoted to ‘solvable’ needle models which illustrate the relationship between long-range competition mediated, for example, through shadowing or a Laplacian field, and scale invariance. The following three sections, which comprise the bulk of the article, develop the theory of kinetic surface roughening in a comprehensive manner. The two large classes of kinetic roughening processes, characterized by non-conserved (Kardar-Parisi-Zhang) and conserved (ideal molecular beam epitaxy (MBE)) surface relaxation, respectively, are treated separately. For the former case, which has been extensively reviewed elsewhere, the focus is on recent developments. For the case of ideal MBE we give a systematic derivation of the various universality classes in terms of microscopic processes, and compare the predictions of continuum theory to computer simulations and experiments.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
