We give a near-linear time sampler for the Gibbs distribution of the ferromagnetic Ising models with edge activities $\boldsymbol{\beta} > 1$ and external fields $\boldsymbol{\lambda}<1$ (or symmetrically, $\boldsymbol{\lambda}>1$) on…
Nanoparticle agglomeration in a quiescent fluid is simulated by solving the Langevin equations of motion of a set of interacting monomers in the continuum regime. Monomers interact via a radial, rapidly decaying intermonomer potential. The…
Nucleation is considered near the pseudospinodal in a one-dimensional $\phi^4$ model with a non-conserved order parameter and long-range interactions. For a sufficiently large system or a system with slow relaxation to metastable…

We have studied the nucleation in the two dimensional Ising model by Monte Carlo simulation. The nucleation time has been studied as a function of the magnetic field for various system sizes. The logarithm of the nucleation time is found to…
Most theories of homogeneous nucleation are based on a Fokker-Planck-like description of the behavior of the mass of clusters. Here we will show that these approaches are incomplete for a large class of nucleating systems, as they assume…
Equilibrium magnetization curve of a rigid finite-size spherical cluster of single-domain particles is investigated both numerically and analytically. The spatial distribution of particles within the cluster is random. Dipole-dipole…
We propose a metapopulation version of the Schelling model where two kinds of agents relocate themselves, with unconstrained destination, if their local fitness is lower than a tolerance threshold. We show that, for small values of the…
We use Langevin dynamics simulations to study dense two-dimensional systems of particles where all binary interactions are different (AID) in the sense that each interaction parameter is characterized by a randomly chosen number. We compare…
We determine the non-equilibrium grain size distribution during the crystallization of a solid in $d$ dimensions at fixed thermodynamic conditions, for the random nucleation and growth model, and in absence of grain coalescence. Two…
We study both analytically and numerically metastability and nucleation in a two-dimensional nonequilibrium Ising ferromagnet. Canonical equilibrium is dynamically impeded by a weak random perturbation which models homogeneous disorder of…
In simulations of the 2D Ising model, we examine heterogeneous nucleation induced by a small impurity consisting of a line of $l$ fixed spins. As $l$ increases, we identify a limit of stability beyond which the metastable phase is not…
