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 ntal images of Al/Si(111) and Ag(111) equilibrium steps fluctuating at high (970K) and low (320K) temperatures respectively, and by quantitatively interpreting our observations on the basis of the corresponding coarse-grained discrete and continuum theoretical models for thermal surface step fluctuations under attachment/detachment (``high-temperature) and edge-diffusion limited kinetics (``low-temperature) respectively.
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 e to the Brownian character of the process, the stochastics vary with the chosen measurement interval $Delta t$. In experiments, the discrete scanning times are a practical cutoff and we are able to measure the waiting time as a function of this cutoff. The measurement interval dependence of the observed waiting and residence times turns out to be solely determined by the time dependent height-height correlation function $g(t)$. We find excellent agreement with the theory presented here along with the experiments.

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 ases in a series of quantized steps with transverse rectification occuring near these transitions. We present a simple model that captures the quantization and rectification behaviors.
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 ulicher-Lipowsky generalization of the Canham-Helfrich free energy to multicomponent membranes, we derive a number of exact relations governing the structure of an interface separating two lipid phases on arbitrarily shaped substrates and its stability. We then restrict our analysis to four classes of surfaces of both applied and conceptual interest: the sphere, axisymmetric surfaces, minimal surfaces and developable surfaces. For each class we investigate how the structure of the geometry and topology of the interface is affected by the shape of the substrate and we make various testable predictions. Our work sheds light on the subtle interaction mechanism between membrane shape and its chemical composition and provides a solid framework for interpreting results from experiments on supported lipid bilayers.
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 ants) of the cooling heat current to the absorbed heat current, $eta^{(n)}$, are upper-bounded, $eta^{(n)}leq eta_C^n$ with $ngeq 2$ and $eta_C$ the Carnot efficiency, we prove that an {it ensemble} of $N$ distinct machines similarly satisfies this upper bound on the relative fluctuations of the ensemble, $eta_N^{(n)}leq eta_C^n$. For an ensemble of distinct quantum {it refrigerators} with components operating in the tight coupling limit we further prove the existence of a {it lower bound} on $eta_N^{(n)}$ in specific cases, exemplified on three-level quantum absorption refrigerators and resonant-energy thermoelectric junctions. Beyond special cases, the existence of a lower bound on $eta_N^{(2)}$ for an ensemble of quantum refrigerators is demonstrated by numerical simulations.
