Creep via dynamical functional renormalization group

Abstract

We study a D-dimensional interface driven in a disordered medium. We derive finite temperature and velocity functional renormalization group (FRG) equations, valid in a 4-D expansion. These equations allow in principle for a complete study of the the velocity versus applied force characteristics. We focus here on the creep regime at finite temperature and small velocity. We show how our FRG approach gives the form of the v-f characteristics in this regime, and in particular the creep exponent, obtained previously only through phenomenological scaling arguments.
