Abstract
Growth in crystals can be usually described by field equations such as the Kardar-Parisi-Zhang (KPZ) equation. While the crystalline structure can be characterized by Euclidean geometry with its peculiar symmetries, the growth dynamics creates a fractal structure at the interface of a crystal and its growth medium, which in turn determines the growth. Recent work by Gomes-Filho et al. (Results in Physics, 104,435 (2021)) associated the fractal dimension of the interface with the growth exponents for KPZ and provides explicit values for them. In this work, we discuss how the fluctuations and the responses to it are associated with this fractal geometry and the new hidden symmetry associated with the universality of the exponents.
1 Introduction
Symmetry and spontaneous symmetry breaking are fundamental concepts to understanding nature, in particular to investigate the phases of matter. Since growth is one of the most ubiquitous phenomena in nature, a question appears immediately “What are the symmetries associated with growth?” In order to address this question, we shall look into the major growth field equations: the Edwards-Wilkinson (EW) equation [1],
and the Kardar-Parisi-Zhang equation [2],where denotes the interface heights at point at the time t⩾0. Since displays different scale properties than those displayed by , we say that we have a d + 1 dimensional space, in such a way that the growth of a film will be in 2 + 1 space dimensions. The parameters ν (surface tension) and λ are related to the Laplacian smoothing and the tilt mechanism, respectively. The stochastic process is characterized by the zero-mean white noise, , with:where D is the noise intensity. The above equation is sometimes called the fluctuation–dissipation theorem (FDT). The EW equation was obtained [1,3] considering the basic symmetries , , t → t + t0, h → h + h0, and h → − h, i.e., independence of the frame of reference. Note that the symmetry h → − h is violated for KPZ due to the presence of the nonlinear dependence on the local slope . The KPZ equation describes very well the dynamics of some atomistic models such as the etching model [4–9] and the single-step (SS) model [10–14] in the long wavelength limit. For atomistic models, we define our Euclidean space as a d-dimensional hypercubic lattice within the region , with volume V = Ld, where L is the lateral side.
Two quantities play an important role in growth, the average height, ⟨h(t)⟩, and the standard deviationwhich is named as roughness or the surface width. Here, the average is taken over the space. The roughness is a very important physical quantity since many important phenomena have been associated with it [1–15]. For many growth processes, the roughness, w(L,t), increases with time until reaches a saturated roughness ws, i.e., w(t →∞) = ws. We can summarize the time evolution of all regions as follows [3]:with t×∝ Lz. The dynamical exponents satisfy the general scaling relation:
The set of exponents (α, β, z) defines the growth process and its universality class [3]. Since the universality class is associated with the symmetries, the breaking of the symmetry h → − h turns out the KPZ universality class different from that of EW. For example, for the KPZ universality class, the Galilean invariance [2]:is a signature of KPZ.
In this way, the KPZ equation, Eq. 2, is a general nonlinear stochastic differential equation, which can characterize the growth dynamics of many different systems [4–9]; [16–19]. As a consequence, most of these stochastic systems are interconnected. For instance, the SS model [10–14], which is connected with the asymmetric simple exclusion process [12], the six-vertex model [13, 20, 21], and the kinetic Ising model [13, 22], all of them are of fundamental importance. It is noteworthy that quantum versions of the KPZ equation have been recently reported that are connected with a Coulomb gas [23], a quantum entanglement growth dynamics with random time and space [24], as well as in infinite temperature spin-spin correlation in the isotropic quantum Heisenberg spin-1/2 model [25]; [26].
Despite all effort, finding an analytical or even a numerical solution of the KPZ equation (2) is not an easy task [27,28]; [29]; [30,31]; [32], and we are still far from a satisfactory theory for the KPZ equation, which makes it one of the most difficult and exciting problems in modern mathematical physics [33–41], and probably one of the most important problems in non-equilibrium statistical physics. The outstanding works of Prähofer and Spohn [35] and Johansson [42] opened the possibility of an exact solution for the distributions of the height fluctuations f(h,t) in the KPZ equation for 1 + 1 dimensions (for reviews see [37–42]).
In a recent work [43], the exponents were determined for 2 + 1 dimensions usingwhere df denotes the fractal (Hausdorff) dimension of the interface, which has been proved to be well associated with the global roughness exponent α, and the well-known result [3]
for d = 1, 2. This yields for 2 + 1 dimensionswhere is the golden ratio.
In this work, we discuss a FDT for growth in d + 1 dimensions and the possible symmetries associated with the fractal geometry of growth.
2 Fractality, Symmetry and Universality
Note that, now we do not have just the triad (α, β, z) but the quaternary (df, α, β, z), i.e., the fractal dimension and the exponents. They are completely connected; thus, fractality, symmetry, and universality are interconnected as well. Using Eqs. 6, 7, 8, 9, we can determine (df, α, β, z). Therefore, for 2 + 1 dimensions, under any point of view, the exponents and fractal dimension have been determined. However, there are questions concerning the symmetries that we have not even touched. The first question is why Eq. 8 has a distinct behavior for d = 1 and d ≠ 1? The value α = 1/2 for d = 1, i.e. 1 + 1 dimensions, is known since the KPZ original work [2]. It is a consequence of the validity of the FDT (Eq. 3) for this dimension. Nonetheless, we have some new elements for d > 1, and the explicit appearance of this new non-Euclidean dimension requires a more detailed analysis of the involved symmetries.
3 Fluctuations Relations and Fractal Geometry
In order to understanding deeply the fluctuation–dissipation relation, we have to go back to the works of Einstein, Smoluchowski, and Langevin on the Brownian motion [44–51]. Langevin proposed a Newton equation of motion for a particle moving in a fluid as [48]:where P is the particle momentum and γ is the friction. The ingenious and elegant proposal was to modulate the complex interactions between particles, considering all interactions as two main forces: the first contribution represents a frictional force, − γP, where the characteristic time scale is τ = γ−1 while the second contribution comes from a stochastic force, f(t), with time scale Δt ≪ τ, which is related with the random collisions between the particle and the fluid molecules. The uncorrelated force f(t) is given bywhere , where kB is the Boltzmann constant. Note that Eq. 12 was obtained by imposing that the mean square momentum reaches a fixed value given by the equipartition theorem, i.e., there is an energy conservation on the average, which means a time translation symmetry. Later on, Onsager [52] demonstrated that symmetries in the susceptibility (response functions) were associated with the crystal symmetry.
More recently, it was observed [53] that even for 1 + 1 dimensions in growth process, Eq. 12 is not really a FDT, but a relation for the noise intensity, so the FDT relation was completed using the exact result of Krug et al. [10]; [11] for the saturated roughness:in 1 + 1 dimensions. This shows that the saturation is an interplay between noise D, which increases the saturation, and the surface tension ν, which opposes to the curvature, acting as a “friction” for the roughness. And therefore, the FDT for growth can be written as [53]:where b = 24/L. Moreover, since the noise and the surface tension in the EW equation have their origin in the same flux, the separation between them is artificial, and consequently, the connection is restored. Thus, there is no doubt that Eq. 14 gives us a real FDT.
For the d > 1, there is a violation of the FDT for KPZ [2]; [32], where the renormalization group approach works for 1 + 1 dimensions but fails for d + 1, when d > 1. The violation of the FDT is well-known in the literature, in structural glass [54–59], in proteins [60], in mesoscopic radioactive heat transfer [61]; [62], and as well in ballistic diffusion [63–66]. Consequently, the place to look for a solution for the KPZ exponents is the FDT for d + 1 dimensions.
For a solid, the crystalline symmetries are broken during the growth process, which creates the interface with a fractal dimension df [53]. Although a numerical solution of KPZ equation was obtained with good precision [29] for d = 1, 2, and 3, the exponents can be obtained in an easier way from cellular automata simulations. For example, the stochastic cellular automaton, etching model [4]; [7]; [8], which mimics the erosion process by an acid, has been recently proven to belong to the KPZ universality class [67]. Thus, it was used together with the SS model to obtain the fractal dimension and the exponents with a considerable precision [43].
Now, we want to discuss how the FDT is affected by the interface growth. In order to do that let us use the SS model, which is defined as follows. Let
Ωbe our
d-dimensional lattice, at any time
t:
1. Randomly choose a site i ∈ Ω;
2. If h (i, t) is a local minimum, then h (i, t + Δt) = h (i, t) + 2, with probability p;
3. If h (i, t) is a local maximum, then h (i, t + Δt) = h (i, t) − 2, with probability q = 1 − p.
The above rules generate the SS model dynamics. Let ηij(t) denotes the height difference between two nearest neighbors sites, i.e., ηij(t) = hi(t) − hj(t). By construction, ηij(t) = ±1. That makes the SS model analytically more treatable and easily associated with the Ising model. Furthermore, changing the value of p corresponds to changing the value of the tilt mechanism parameter λ in KPZ equation. In particular, for p = q, the average height is constant, which characterizes the EW model.
In Figure 1, we show the evolution of the noise intensity with time, for a 2 + 1 SS model. Time is in units of normalized time t/t×. We use the above rules, periodic boundary conditions, p = 1, a 1,024 × 1,024 lattice, and we average over 10, 000 experiments. In the upper curve, we exhibit the applied white noise with a mean squared value equal to 1. In the lower curve, we show the effective noise, i.e., the remaining noise after it has passed through the filter of the rules (2) and (3) above. The effective noise intensity depends on the fractality of the interface, decreasing as it is shaped by the SS dynamics, until it stabilizes when the saturation w(t) → ws stabilizes as well.
FIGURE 1
Let Deff(t) denotes the effective noise intensity. In Figure 2, we show the behavior of Deff as a function of the probability p. The data points were obtained from a time average of the noise intensity Deff(t) for each value of p after stabilization (see the lower curve in Figure 1). The continuous curve is the function f(p) = c1 − c2 (p − q)φ, which adjust the data very well. In the inset, we exhibit Deff as function of λ2, where, for simplicity, we take the normalized λ ≡ λ/λmax. The dashed line with positive slope is for 1 + 1 dimensions with and λ = p − q while the other one is for 2 + 1 dimensions with and λ = (p − q)φ/2. Here, ci with i = 1, 2, 3 and , d = 1, 2 are adjustable constants. The EW universality class corresponds to the values of both p and q equal to 1/2 while for p ≠ q, we have the KPZ universality class.
FIGURE 2
Up to now, we have not been able to get an analytical proof for the function f(p). However, it shows a direct connection with the fractal geometry of the interface, via the fractal dimension df = φ.
Finally, we can generalize Eq. 13 to obtain a most general form of ws as [43]:
and then, we rewrite the FDT as
Definitions of fractional delta functions can be found in [68]; [69]. For 1 + 1, dimensions α = 1/2 and Eq. 16 reduces to Eq. 14. For d + 1 dimensions with d⩾2, α and df are given by Eq. 10. Here, c is given by , where the parameter Φ is a dimensionless number given bywith ε = 0 for d = 1, thus Φ = 1, and a number close to zero for higher dimensions. For 2 + 1 dimensions, the etching model yields [43] Φ = 1.00 (2); for other models, Φ is of the order of unity. It is not necessary that Φ is of the order of unit; however, it sounds strange when a dimensional analysis has hidden numbers that are too big or too small. Eq. 16 generalizes the result for 1 + 1 dimensions [53]. This is a step forward; however, it should be noted not only that here we have a FDT for each growth equation but also that the exponent α changes with dimension while the FDT for the Langevin’s Equation 12 is very general and independent of the dimension.
Note that Eq. 14 reflects a general characteristic of the FDT of being a linear response to small deviation from equilibrium. This fact is very clear at saturation; thus, the nonlinear term is not so important. Note again that going from Eqs 3–14 does not alter the KPZ equation. Eq. 3 is what is applied while Eq. 14 is what propagates.
4 The Hidden Symmetry
The breaking of the crystalline structure such as discussed above brings us in a first step to a no man’s land. Next, we realize that we have universal values; for example, in 2 + 1 dimensions z = df = φ = 1.61803 … , we compare this value with experiments in electro-chemically induced co-deposition of nanostructured NiW alloy films, z = 1.6 (2) [70], dynamics in chemical vapor deposition in silica films, z = 1.6 (1) [71], on semiconductor polymer deposition z = 1.61 (5) [6], and in excess of mutational jackpot events in expanding populations revealed by spatial Luria–Delbrück experiments, z = 1.61 [72]. Thus, we have an agreement with different kinds of recent experiments, and very precise simulations [53], it is unlikely to be just a numerical coincidence. Consequently, there is a well-defined fractal geometry for KPZ and the cellular automata associated with it, whose symmetries are unknown.
The golden ratio φ is associated with the limit of the Fibonacci sequence 0, 1, 1, 2, 3, 5…, i.e., a sequence where the element of order n is given by Fn = Fn−1 + Fn−2, thus in the limit n → ∞, we have the golden ratio φ = limn→∞ = Fn+1/Fn. This sequence is very common in growth forms [73].
Platonic solids and symmetries—The first place to look for symmetry in three dimensions is the platonic solids. For example, one can consider the icosahedron or its dual, the dodecahedron, both of these solids have a well-known relationship with the golden ratio. The icosahedron consists of 20 identical equilateral triangular faces, 30 edges, and 12 vertices. It has a large group of symmetry, and it is isomorphic to the non-abelian group A5 of all icosahedron rotations [74]; [75]. The A5 group has one trivial singlet, two triplets, one quartet, and one quintet. In their matricial representation, the generators of the triplets and the quintet have elements where φk, with k = 0, 1, 2 appears.
Deterministic fractal cellular automata—Magnetic systems are probably the best physical system to look for symmetry. Even the most simple Ising Hamiltonian system exhibits the symmetric paramagnetic phase and the symmetric breaking phases (ferro and antiferromagnetic). In addition to the trivial phases, it is possible to construct additional fractal symmetry-protected topological (FSPT) phases via a decorated defect approach (see [76] and references therein).
We can define a fractal cellular automaton using the rules of fractal geometry. For example, we can take the set of points i = (…. − 2, −1, 0, 1, 2, … ) as an infinite line. The ruleswith the initial condition generate a Fibonacci fractal [76] in the space-time (i, t). From that, we get the (Hausdorff) fractal dimension df = 1 + log2(φ) ≈ 1.63. The golden ratio appears associated with this fractal dimension; however, it is not yet the fractal dimension itself.
As a more general example, we can consider the Fibonacci Word Fractal (FWF). This process is more interesting to us because it is a dynamical growth process and consequently more connect with our physical motion, so we shall discuss it briefly. FWF is strings over {0, 1} defined inductively as follows: f0 = 1, f1 = 0, fn = fn−1fn−2 (i.e. fn is the concatenation of the two previous strings, e.g., f2 = 01, f3 = 010, ⋯), for n⩾2. The FWF can be associated with a curve using the following drawing rule: for each digit at position k, draw a segment forward then if the digit is 1 stay straight, if the digit is 0, turn θ radians to the left, when k is even, or turn θ radians to the right, when k is odd. For an arbitrary θ, [77] shows that
Note that for an adequate choice of the turning angle θ, we can generate a fractal curve with df = φ. A simple calculation shows that , i.e., almost a right angle. Figure 3 shows an example of this fractal for a different number of interactions.
FIGURE 3
Stochastic cellular automata—Now we return to the growth problem described by a stochastic KPZ equation or by a stochastic growth cellular automaton belonging to the KPZ universality class. There are a number of well-known cellular automata and probably much more to be discovered. All of them act in an integer space of dimensions D = d + 1 and generate a fractal space of dimensions Di = df + 1, with the same df given by Eq. 10. The fractal dimension associated with universality via Eq. 8 is itself universal. Therefore, there must be a hidden symmetry and with that new finite non-Abelian groups. It is quite natural that we have identified first the groups of a perfect crystal since we have a visual identification of its properties. For fractal which may present only average self-similarity, it is more hard to find. However, we expect that soon we would be able to unveiling it. Although we have not yet identified such groups, the discussion above, particularly the concept of self-similarity, is a starting point for such endeavor. Once it is discovered, its importance will be far beyond KPZ.
5 Conclusion
In this work, we discuss the FDT for the Kardar-Parisi-Zhang equation in a space of d + 1 dimensions. We show how an applied noise is transformed as it goes through the filter imposed by the rules of a cellular automaton. In particular, we use the SS model, where controlling the probability p we can change the effective noise intensity. The results support recent work [43], which suggests that the effective noise has fractal dimension df. This fractal dimension is associated with the KPZ exponents from Eq. 10, in such a way that we have now not only the triad (α, β, z) but also the quaternary (df, α, β, z). This new universality implies that we have a new hidden symmetry for the KPZ universality class. We found a deterministic cellular automaton from which we can control the Hausdorff dimension df, in such a way that we can obtain df = φ. This may be a starting point for new symmetries relations.
