Chapter 1: Stochastic Dynamics of Growing Films
Chapter 1.1: Introduction (209k)
Chapter 1.2: Dynamic Scaling in Growing Films (170k)

This volume is based on an international school on "Scaling and Disordered Systems" organized by M R H Khajehpour, M R Kolahchi and M Sahimi. Despite the common theme, it covers fields as diverse as basic and applied percolation, and biological prey–predator and ageing simulations. The advantages of computer simulation thus become particularly clear in the reviews, which have been written by leading experts.
Contents:
- Stochastic Dynamics of Growing Films (M Kardar)
- Kinetics of
Epitaxial Thin Film Growth (F Family)
- Directed Percolation, the Fixed Scale Transformation and the Renormalization Group (A Erzan)
- Statistical Mechanics and Scaling Theories of Macromolecules (T B Liverpool)
- Scaling as Inflation Symmetry, and Its Physical Consequences (N Rivier)
- Some Aspects of Dynamics of Josephson-Junction Array at Golden Mean Frustration (M R Kolahchi)
- Monte Carlo Simulation of Microscopic Stock Market Models (D Stauffer)
- and other papers
Readership: Researchers in computational physics.
"The accessibility of the articles makes them also useful for gaining a broader overview over the subject or for understanding connections between different fields. The most basic articles contain enough information to be interesting even for an expert in a neighbouring field of research."
