First-order phase transition in a nonequilibrium growth process
We introduce a simple continuous model for nonequilibrium surface growth. The dynamics of the system is defined by the Kardar-Parisi-Zhang equation with a Morse-like potential representing a short range interaction between the surface and the substrate. The mean field solution displays a nontrivial phase diagram with a first-order transition between a growing and a bound surface, associated wit...
متن کاملNonequilibrium critical relaxation at a first-order phase transition point
We study numerically the nonequilibrium dynamical behavior of an Ising model with mixed two-spin and four-spin interactions after a sudden quench from the high-temperature phase to the first-order phase transition point. The autocorrelation function is shown to approach its limiting value, given by the magnetization in the ordered phase at the transition point, mc, through a stretched exponenti...
متن کاملNonequilibrium first-order phase transition induced by additive noise.
We show that a nonequilibrium first-order phase transition can be induced by additive noise. As a model system to study this phenomenon, we consider a nonlinear lattice of overdamped oscillators with both additive and multiplicative noise terms. Predictions from mean field theory are successfully confirmed by numerical simulations. A physical explanation for the mechanism of the transition is g...
متن کاملNonequilibrium phase transition in surface growth
– Conserved growth models that exhibit a nonlinear instability in which the height (depth) of isolated pillars (grooves) grows in time are studied by numerical integration and stochastic simulation. When this instability is controlled by the introduction of an infinite series of higher-order nonlinear terms, these models exhibit, as function of a control parameter, a non-equilibrium phase trans...
متن کاملTheory of nonequilibrium first-order phase transitions for stochastic dynamics
A dynamic definition of a first-order phase transition is given. It is based on a master equation description of the time evolution of a system. When the operator generating that time evolution has an isolated near degeneracy there is a first-order phase transition. Conversely, when phenomena describable as first-order phase transitions occur in a system, the corresponding operator has near deg...
