Viability of competing field theories for the driven lattice gas
B. Schmittmann, H. K. Janssen, U. C. Taeuber +3
It has recently been suggested that the driven lattice gas should be described by a novel field theory in the limit of infinite drive. We review the original and the new field theo…
Dynamic scaling in vacancy-mediated disordering

We consider the disordering dynamics of an interacting binary alloy with a small admixture of vacancies which mediate atom-atom exchanges. Starting from a perfectly phase-segregate…
``Weather'' Records: Musings on Cold Days after a Long Hot Indian Summer
