摘要: We investigate growing interfaces of topological-defect turbulence in the electroconvection nematic liquid crystals. The exhibit self-affine roughening characterized by both spatial and temporal scaling laws Kardar-Parisi-Zhang theory $1+1$ dimensions. Moreover, we reveal that distribution two-point correlation interface fluctuations are universal ones governed largest eigenvalue random matrices. This provides quantitative experimental evidence universality prescribing detailed information scale-invariant fluctuations.
