Models with a nonequilibrium wetting transition display a transition also in finite systems. This is different from nonequilibrium phase transitions into an absorbing state, where the stationary state is the absorbing one for any value of the control parameter in a finite system. In this paper, we study what kind of transition takes place in finite systems of nonequilibrium wetting models. By solving exactly a microscopic model with three and four sites and performing numerical simulations we…

Entropy production of a bound nonequilibrium interface
We study the entropy production of a microscopic model for nonequilibrium wetting. We show that, in contrast to the equilibrium case, a bound interface in a nonequilibrium steady state produces…

Nonequilibrium wetting of finite samples
We study, as a canonical model for wetting far from thermal equilibrium, a Kardar–Parisi–Zhang interface growing on top of a hard-core substrate. Depending on the average growth velocity, the model…
Numerical study of a model for nonequilibrium wetting.
TLDR
A special point in the phase diagram is investigated, where the model exhibits a roughening transition related to directed percolation, and it is argued that in the vicinity of this point evaporation from the middle of plateaus can be interpreted as an external field in the language of directedPercolation.
Non-equilibrium critical phenomena and phase transitions into absorbing states
This review addresses recent developments in non-equilibrium statistical physics. Focusing on phase transitions from fluctuating phases into absorbing states, the universality class of directed…
Universality classes in nonequilibrium lattice systems
This work is designed to overview our present knowledge about universality classes occurring in nonequilibrium systems defined on regular lattices. In the first section I summarize the most important…
Smooth phases, roughening transitions, and novel exponents in one-dimensional growth models
A class of solid-on-solid growth models with short range interactions and sequential updates is studied. The models exhibit both smooth and rough phases in dimension d=1. Some of the features of the…
Roughening transition in a one-dimensional growth process.
TLDR
A class of nonequilibrium models with short-range interactions and sequential updates that describe one dimensional growth processes which display a roughening transition between a smooth and a rough phase is presented.
From multiplicative noise to directed percolation in wetting transitions.
TLDR
A simple one-dimensional microscopic model of the depinning transition of an interface from an attractive hard wall is introduced and investigated and the critical behavior observed along the transition line changes from a directed-percolation type to a multiplicative-noise type.
Nature of different types of absorbing states
We present a comparison of three different types of Langevin equations exhibiting absorbing states: the Langevin equation defining the Reggeon field theory, one with multiplicative noise, and a third…
Wetting: statics and dynamics
The wetting of solids by liquids is connected to physical chemistry (wettability), to statistical physics (pinning of the contact line, wetting transitions, etc.), to long-range forces (van der…
Nonlinear growth of wetting layers
The growth of wetting layers is studied as a function of time t in the framework of effective interface models. The thickness of such layers is found to grow as t1/4 and t1/5 for three-dimensional…
