Täuber, Uwe C.Frey, E.2016-09-302016-09-302002-09-010295-5075http://hdl.handle.net/10919/73095We study the effect of generic spatial anisotropies on the scaling behavior in the Kardar-Parisi-Zhang equation. In contrast to its “conserved” variants, anisotropic perturbations are found to be relevant in d > 2 dimensions, leading to rich phenomena that include novel universality classes and the possibility of first-order phase transitions and multicritical behavior. These results question the presumed scaling universality in the strong-coupling rough phase, and shed further light on the connection with generalized driven diffusive systems.655 - 661 (7) page(s)enIn CopyrightPhysics, MultidisciplinaryPhysicsPULLED FRONTSDYNAMICSGROWTHRENORMALIZATIONEQUATION2-TEMPERATUREINTERFACESPOINTNOISEArticle - Refereedhttps://doi.org/10.1209/epl/i2002-00175-8595
