Download or read book Dynamics Of Fluctuating Interfaces And Related Phenomena: Proceedings Of The 4th Ctp Workshop On Statistical written by Doochul Kim and published by World Scientific. This book was released on 1997-09-05 with total page 346 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Roughening dynamics of various interface problems has been an attractive topic recently. The subject is related to many interdisciplinary branches in nonequilibrium statistical physics such as crystal growth, vortex dynamics, fractals and chaos, and self-organized critical phenomena. This volume includes pedagogical reviews of the scaling concepts in fluctuating surfaces, current theories on expitaxial growth phenomena and interface dynamics in disordered media, and many other related topics. Thus it serves as a valuable reference for both graduate students and researchers in statistical physics and materials science.
