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…
We study numerically the coarsening dynamics of the Ising model on a regular lattice with random bonds and on deterministic fractal substrates. We propose a unifying interpretation of the phase-ordering processes based on two classes of…
We study the dynamics of phase ordering of a non-conserved, scalar order parameter in one dimension, with long-range interactions characterized by a power law $r^{-d-\sigma}$. In contrast to higher dimensional systems, the point nature of…
The one-dimensional $O(2)$ model is the simplest example of a system with topological textures. The model exhibits anomalous ordering dynamics due to the appearance of two characteristic length scales: the phase coherence length, $L \sim…
We introduce a model for describing the defected growth of striped patterns. This model, while roughly related to the Swift-Hohenberg model, generates a quite different mixture of defects during phase ordering. We find two characteristic…
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…
The dynamics of linear stochastic growth equations on growing substrates is studied. The substrate is assumed to grow in time following the power law $t^\gamma$, where the growth index $\gamma$ is an arbitrary positive number. Two different…
We study the dynamical properties of the ordered phases obtained in a coupled nonequilibrium system describing advection of two species of particles by a stochastically evolving landscape. The local dynamics of the landscape also gets…
The theory of phase ordering dynamics -- the growth of order through domain coarsening when a system is quenched from the homogeneous phase into a broken-symmetry phase -- is reviewed, with the emphasis on recent developments. Interest will…
The growth of striped order resulting from a quench of the two-dimensional Swift-Hohenberg model is studied in the regime of a small control parameter and quenches to zero temperature. We introduce an algorithm for finding and identifying…
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…
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…
Regardless of a system's complexity or scale, its growth can be considered to be a spontaneous thermodynamic response to a local convergence of down-gradient material flows. Here it is shown how growth can be constrained to a few distinct…
We studied phase separation in a particle interacting system under a large drive along x. We here identify the basic growth mechanisms, and demonstrate time self-similarity, finite-size scaling, as well as other interesting features of both…
We consider the phase-ordering kinetics of one-dimensional scalar systems. For attractive long-range ($r^{-(1+\sigma)}$) interactions with $\sigma>0$, ``Energy-Scaling'' arguments predict a growth-law of the average domain size $L \sim…
Critical, or scale independent, systems are so ubiquitous, that gaining theoretical insights on their nature and properties has many direct repercussions in social and natural sciences. In this report, we start from the simplest possible…
Complexity Theory is highly interdisciplinary, therefore any regularities must hold on all levels of organization, independent on the nature of the system. An open question in science is how complex systems self-organize to produce emergent…
A static variational model for shape formation in heteroepitaxial crystal growth is considered. The energy functional takes into account surface energy, elastic misfit-energy and nucleation energy of dislocations. A scaling law for the…
Heterogeneous growth plays an important role in the shape and pattern formation of thin elastic structures ranging from the petals of blooming lilies to the cell walls of growing bacteria. Here we address the stability and regulation of…
We study the kinetics of domain growth of fluid mixtures quenched from a disordered to a lamellar phase. At low viscosities, in two dimensions, when hydrodynamic modes become important, dynamical scaling is verified in the form $C(\vec k,…
