Extended Dynamic Scaling for Growing Interfaces

Abstract

We have extended dynamic scaling hypothesis to describe the wide range of experiments on growing rough interfaces. An alternative approach of original Family–Vicsek scaling hypothesis was not successfully applied to the growing interfaces of paper wetting in that we obtained unphysical values of roughness exponents. Since very nice data collapse suggested the existence of some kind of dynamic scaling, we have tried to extend the dynamic scaling hypothesis. It was found that the extended dynamic scaling hypothesis can be nicely applied to the growing rough interfaces in paper wetting, yielding values of roughness and growth exponents α\\simeq0.73, β\\simeq0.60, respectively.
