Anomalous ballistic scaling in the tensionless or inviscid Kardar-Parisi-Zhang equation

Enrique Rodriguez-Fernandez, Silvia N. Santalla, Mario Castro +1

The one-dimensional Kardar-Parisi-Zhang (KPZ) equation is becoming an overarching paradigm for the scaling of nonequilibrium, spatially extended, classical and quantum systems with…

Symmetry of surface nanopatterns induced by ion-beam sputtering: the role of anisotropic surface diffusion

Javier Renedo, Javier Muñoz-García, Mario Castro +1

Ion Beam Sputtering (IBS) is a cost-effective technique able to produce ordered nanopatterns on the surfaces of different materials. To date, most theoretical studies of this proce…

Universality of cauliflower-like fronts: from nanoscale thin films to macroscopic plants

Mario Castro, Rodolfo Cuerno, Matteo Nicoli +2

Chemical vapor deposition (CVD) is a widely used technique to grow solid materials with accurate control of layer thickness and composition. Under mass-transport-limited conditions…

Solid flow drives surface nanopatterning by ion-beam irradiation

M. Castro, R. Gago, L. Vázquez +2

Ion Beam Sputtering (IBS) is known to produce surface nanopatterns over macroscopic areas on a wide range of materials. However, in spite of the technological potential of this rou…

Hydrodynamic approach to surface pattern formation by ion beams

Mario Castro, Rodolfo Cuerno

On the proper timescale, amorphous solids can flow. Solid flow can be observed macroscopically in glaciers or lead pipes, but it can also be artificially enhanced by creating defec…

Dynamical Renormalization Group Study for a Class of Non-local Interface Equations

Matteo Nicoli, Rodolfo Cuerno, Mario Castro

We provide a detailed Dynamic Renormalization Group study for a class of stochastic equations that describe non-conserved interface growth mediated by non-local interactions. We co…
