Metastability for expanding bubbles on a sticky substrate

Abstract

We study the dynamical behavior of a one dimensional interface interacting with a sticky impenetrable substrate or wall. The interface is subject to two effects going in opposite directions: one is the pinning attraction force from the sticky wall and another is the external force extracting the interface away from the sticky wall.We investigate the static phase transition and dynamical phase transition of the model.
