Disordered Elastic Systems and One-Dimensional Interfaces

arXiv:1111.4899 · doi:10.1016/j.physb.2012.01.017

Abstract

We briefly introduce the generic framework of Disordered Elastic Systems (DES), giving a short `recipe' of a DES modeling and presenting the quantities of interest in order to probe the static and dynamical disorder-induced properties of such systems. We then focus on a particular low-dimensional DES, namely the one-dimensional interface in short-ranged elasticity and short-ranged quenched disorder. Illustrating different elements given in the introductory sections, we discuss specifically the consequences of the interplay between a finite temperature T>0 and a finite interface width ξ>0 on the static geometrical fluctuations at different lengthscales, and the implications on the quasistatic dynamics.
