We investigate the relaxation of homogeneous Ising ferromagnets on finite lattices with zero-temperature spin-flip dynamics. On the square lattice, a frozen two-stripe state is apparently reached approximately 1/4 of the time, while the…
When a two-dimensional Ising ferromagnet is quenched from above the critical temperature to zero temperature, the system eventually converges to either a ground state (all spins aligned) or an infinitely long-lived metastable stripe state.…

The two-dimensional Ising model with nearest-neighbor ferromagnetic and long-range dipolar interactions exhibits a rich phase diagram. The presence of the dipolar interaction changes the ferromagnetic ground state expected for the pure…

In this work we study numerically the final state of the two dimensional ferromagnetic critical Ising model after a quench to zero temperature. Beginning from equilibrium at $T_c$, the system can be blocked in a variety of infinitely long…
