Roughness at the depinning threshold for a long-range elastic string
arXiv:cond-mat/0107527 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevE.65.025101
Abstract
In this paper, we compute the roughness exponent zeta of a long-range elastic string, at the depinning threshold, in a random medium with high precision, using a numerical method which exploits the analytic structure of the problem (`no-passing' theorem), but avoids direct simulation of the evolution equations. This roughness exponent has recently been studied by simulations, functional renormalization group calculations, and by experiments (fracture of solids, liquid meniscus in 4He). Our result zeta = 0.390 +/- 0.002 is significantly larger than what was stated in previous simulations, which were consistent with a one-loop renormalization group calculation. The data are furthermore incompatible with the experimental results for crack propagation in solids and for a 4He contact line on a rough substrate. This implies that the experiments cannot be described by pure harmonic long-range elasticity in the quasi-static limit.
