Glassy dynamics in interface growth: aging, fluctuation disipation and thermal avalanches

POSTER

Abstract

In this work we study the KPZ interface growth equation subjected to both quenched and anealed disorder. We find that the interface dynamics shows a glassy behavior in the regime of low temperatures and low external force, a regime commonly known as creep in the superconductor literature. We also describe how the temperature affects to the avalanches in the front development.
