Abstract
We study the geometric properties of polymixtures after a sudden quench in temperature. We mimic these systems with the q-states Potts model on a square lattice with and without weak quenched disorder, and their evolution with Monte Carlo simulations with nonconserved order parameter. We analyze the distribution of hull-enclosed areas for different initial conditions and compare our results with recent exact and numerical findings for q=2 (Ising) case. Our results demonstrate the memory of the ...
We study the geometric properties of polymixtures after a sudden quench in temperature. We mimic these systems with the q-states Potts model on a square lattice with and without weak quenched disorder, and their evolution with Monte Carlo simulations with nonconserved order parameter. We analyze the distribution of hull-enclosed areas for different initial conditions and compare our results with recent exact and numerical findings for q=2 (Ising) case. Our results demonstrate the memory of the presence or absence of long-range correlations in the initial state during the coarsening regime and exhibit superuniversality properties. ...
