Coarsening dynamics in one dimension: The phase diffusion equation and its numerical implementation
Matteo Nicoli, Chaouqi Misbah, Paolo Politi
Many nonlinear partial differential equations (PDEs) display a coarsening dynamics, i.e., an emerging pattern whose typical length scale increases with time. The so-called coar…
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…
Strong anisotropy in surface kinetic roughening: analysis and experiments
Edoardo Vivo, Matteo Nicoli, Martin Engler +3
We report an experimental assessment of surface kinetic roughening properties that are anisotropic in space. Working for two specific instances of silicon surfaces irradiated by io…
Strong anisotropy in two-dimensional surfaces with generic scale invariance: Gaussian and related models
Edoardo Vivo, Matteo Nicoli, Rodolfo Cuerno
Among systems that display generic scale invariance, those whose asymptotic properties are anisotropic in space (strong anisotropy, SA) have received a relatively smaller attention…
Kardar-Parisi-Zhang asymptotics for the two-dimensional noisy Kuramoto-Sivashinsky equation
Matteo Nicoli, Edoardo Vivo, Rodolfo Cuerno
We study numerically the Kuramoto-Sivashinsky (KS) equation forced by external white noise in two space dimensions, that is a generic model for e.g. surface kinetic roughening in t…
Dynamic effects induced by renormalization in anisotropic pattern forming systems
Adrian Keller, Matteo Nicoli, Stefan Facsko +1
The dynamics of patterns in large two-dimensional domains remains a challenge in non-equilibrium phenomena. Often it is addressed through mild extensions of one-dimensional equatio…
