First-order phase transition in a nonequilibrium growth process

We introduce a simple continuous model for nonequilibrium surface growth. The dynamics of the system is defined by the Kardar-Parisi-Zhang equation with a Morse-like potential representing a short range interaction between the surface and the substrate. The mean field solution displays a nontrivial...
