The Nonequilibrium Dynamics of Driven Line Liquids
arXiv:cond-mat/9206008 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevLett.69.1552
Abstract
We study the nonequilibrium dynamics of line liquids as realized in the nonlinear motion of flux lines of a superconductor driven by an applied electric current. Our analysis suggests a transition in the dynamics of the lines from a smooth, laminar phase at small driving forces, to a rough, turbulent phase when the drive is increased. We explore the nature of these phases and describe interesting analogies to driven diffusion and growing interfaces.
