Roughening Transition in a One-Dimensional Growth Process

arXiv:cond-mat/9512069 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevLett.76.2746

Abstract

A class of nonequilibrium models with short-range interactions and sequential updates is presented. The models describe one dimensional growth processes which display a roughening transition between a smooth and a rough phase. This transition is accompanied by spontaneous symmetry breaking, which is described by an order parameter whose dynamics is non-conserving. Some aspects of models in this class are related to directed percolation in 1+1 dimensions, although unlike directed percolation the models have no absorbing states. Scaling relations are derived and compared with Monte Carlo simulations.
