Abstract
We have studied the growth of interfaces in driven diffusive systems well below the critical temperature by means of Monte Carlo simulations. We consider the region beyond the linear regime and of large values of the external field which has not been explored before. The simulations support the existence of interfacial traveling waves when asymmetry is introduced in the model, a result previously predicted by a linear-stability analysis. Furthermore, the generalization of the Gibbs-Thomson relation is discussed. The results provide evidence that the external field is a stabilizing effect which can be considered as effectively increasing the surface tension.
