Using a cell dynamic system (CDS) simulation scheme, we investigate the phase-ordering dynamics of non-conserved O(n) models without topological defects, i.e. for $n > d+1$ where $d$ is the spatial dimensionality. In particular, we consider…
To sensitively test scaling in the 2D XY model quenched from high-temperatures into the ordered phase, we study the difference between measured correlations and the (scaling) results of a Gaussian-closure approximation. We also directly…
We consider quenches in non-conserved two-dimensional XY systems between any two temperatures below the Kosterlitz-Thouless transition. The evolving systems are defect free at coarse-grained scales, and can be exactly treated. Correlations…
Results for the late-time regime of phase ordering in three dimensions are reported, based on numerical integration of the time-dependent Ginzburg-Landau equation with nonconserved order parameter at zero temperature. For very large systems…
We present a comprehensive Monte Carlo study of domain growth in the random-bond XY model with non-conserved kinetics. The presence of quenched disorder slows down domain growth in d = 2; 3. In d = 2, we observe power-law growth with a…
The theory of growth kinetics developed previously is extended to the asymmetric case of off-critical quenches for systems with a conserved scalar order parameter. In this instance the new parameter $M$, the average global value of the…
The non-equilibrium dynamics of the kinetic spherical model, quenched to T<=T_c, with a non-conserved order-parameter is studied at its upper critical dimension d=d*=4. In the scaling limit where both the waiting time s and the observation…
We extend the discussion of the growth kinetics of the large-N time-dependent Ginzburg-Landau model with an order parameter described by a $\Phi^6$ free energy functional, to the conserved case. Quenches from a high temperature initial…
We determine the characteristic length scale, $L(t)$, in phase ordering kinetics for both scalar and vector fields, with either short- or long-range interactions, and with or without conservation laws. We obtain $L(t)$ consistently by…
In all dimensions, infinite-range Kawasaki spin exchange in a quenched Ising model leads to an asymptotic length-scale $L \sim (\rho t)^{1/2} \sim t^{1/3}$ at $T=0$ because the kinetic coefficient is renormalized by the broken-bond density,…
We study phase ordering dynamics in the three-dimensional nearest-neighbor Ising model, following rapid quenches from infinite to zero temperature. Results on various aspects, viz., domain growth, persistence, aging and pattern, have been…
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…
We investigate the coarsening dynamics in the two-dimensional Hamiltonian XY model on a square lattice, beginning with a random state with a specified potential energy and zero kinetic energy. Coarsening of the system proceeds via an…
The dependence of the scaling properties of the structure factor on space dimensionality, range of interaction, initial and final conditions, presence or absence of a conservation law is analysed in the framework of the large-N model for…
We consider the ordering kinetics of a nonconserved scalar field advected by a uniform shear flow. Using the Ohta-Jasnow-Kawasaki approximation, modified to allow for shear-induced anisotropy, we calculate the asymptotic time dependence of…
The $Z_2$ gauged neutral XY model is of long-standing interest both in the context of nematic order, and the study of fractionalization and superconductivity. This paper presents heuristic arguments that no deconfinement of the XY field…
Monte Carlo simulations of the two-dimensional XY model are performed in a square geometry with fixed boundary conditions. Using a conformal mapping it is very easy to deduce the exponent eta_sigma(T) of the order parameter correlation…
The approach to equilibrium, from a nonequilibrium initial state, in a system at its critical point is usually described by a scaling theory with a single growing length scale, $\xi(t) \sim t^{1/z}$, where z is the dynamic exponent that…
We study the effect of thermal fluctuations in the XY-model on a surface with non vanishing mean curvature and zero Gaussian curvature. Unlike Gaussian curvature that typically frustrates orientational order, the extrinsic curvature of the…
We consider a 2D XY model subjected to time-correlated noise, a model of direct relevance to active crystals, which were shown recently to be able to support very large deformations without melting in the presence of persistent…
