Abstract
The kinetics of an interface between spin-up and spin-down domains in a soft-spin Ising model with quenched random fields and driving magnet ic field H is studied numerically within a discrete time dynamics at z ero temperature. Spins are updated in parallel starting from a flat in terface. It is found that for fields smaller than a threshold field H( c) the interface is pinned while above H(c) the mean velocity of the i nterface increases proportional to (H - H(c)) for two- and three-dimen sional systems.
