Anisotropic percolation and the d-dimensional surface roughening problem

We review recent numerical simulations of several models of interface growth in d-dimensional media with quenched disorder. These models belong to the universality class of anisotropic diode-resistor percolation networks. The values of the roughness exponent δ=0.63±0.01 (d=1+1) and δ=0.48±0.02 (d=2+1) are in good agreement with our recent experiments. The values of δ in higher dimensions (δ=0.38±0.03 in d=4 and δ=0.27±0.05 in d=5) do not support a recent theoretical conjecture.
