Abstract: We proposed an equation of Langevin type to describe the interface evolution in crystals under nonequilibrium conditions(such as in Cu-Fe or Cu-Co system upon ball miling). The scaling property (H) of this equation is in good agreement with the Monte Carlo simulations decribed by Bellon and Averback. In this equation the volume dchsion and intedece diffusion are all important and this is consistent with some experimental results.
