We investigate solid-on-solid models that belong to the Kardar-Parisi-Zhang (KPZ) universality class on substrates that expand laterally at a constant rate by duplication of columns. Despite the null global curvature, we show that all investigated models have asymptotic height distributions and spatial covariances in agreement with those expected for the KPZ subclass for curved surfaces. In $1+1$ dimensions, the height distribution and covariance are given by the GUE Tracy-Widom distribution and the Airy$_2$ process, instead of the GOE and Airy$_1$ foreseen for flat interfaces. These results imply that, when the KPZ class splits into the curved and flat subclasses, as conventionally considered, the expanding substrate may play a role equivalent to, or perhaps more important than the global curvature. Moreover, the translational invariance of the interfaces evolving on growing domains allowed us to accurately determine, in $2+1$ dimensions, the analogue of the GUE Tracy-Widom distribution for height distribution and that of the Airy$_2$ process for spatial covariance. Temporal covariance is also calculated and shown to be universal in each dimension and in each of the two subclasses. A logarithmic correction associated to the duplication of column is observed and theoretically elucidated. Finally, crossover between regimes with fixed-size and enlarging substrates is also investigated.
We show experimentally and theoretically that the persistence of large deviations in equilibrium step fluctuations is characterized by an infinite family of independent exponents. These exponents are obtained by carefully analyzing dynamical experime
We report on the residence times of capillary waves above a given height $h$ and on the typical waiting time in between such fluctuations. The measurements were made on phase separated colloid-polymer systems by laser scanning confocal microscopy. Du
We show that a novel rectification phenomena is possible for overdamped particles interacting with a 2D periodic substrate and driven with a longitudinal DC drive and a circular AC drive. As a function of DC amplitude, the longitudinal velocity incre
Motivated by recent experimental work on multicomponent lipid membranes supported by colloidal scaffolds, we report an exhaustive theoretical investigation of the equilibrium configurations of binary mixtures on curved substrates. Starting from the J
We study universal aspects of fluctuations in an ensemble of noninteracting continuous quantum thermal machines in the steady state limit. Considering an individual machine, such as a refrigerator, in which relative fluctuations (and high order cumul
