Complex phase-ordering of the one-dimensional Heisenberg model with conserved order parameter

Abstract

We study the phase-ordering kinetics of the one-dimensional Heisenberg model with conserved order parameter, by means of scaling arguments and numerical simulations. We find a rich dynamical pattern with a regime characterized by two distinct growing lengths. Spins are found to be coplanar over regions of a typical size LV(t)L_V(t), while inside these regions smooth rotations associated to a smaller length LC(t)L_C(t) are observed. Two different and coexisting ordering mechanisms are associated to these lengths, leading to different growth laws LV(t)t1/3L_V(t)\sim t^{1/3} and LC(t)t1/4L_C(t)\sim t^{1/4} violating dynamical scaling.
