Localized growth modes, dynamic textures, and upper critical dimension for the Kardar-Parisi-Zhang equation in the weak noise limit

arXiv:cond-mat/0411194 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevLett.94.195702

Abstract

A nonperturbative weak noise scheme is applied to the Kardar-Parisi-Zhang equation for a growing interface in all dimensions. It is shown that the growth morphology can be interpreted in terms of a dynamically evolving texture of localized growth modes with superimposed diffusive modes. Applying Derrick's theorem it is conjectured that the upper critical dimension is four.
