Coarsening in inhomogeneous systems
arXiv:1504.00104 · doi:10.1016/j.crhy.2015.03.019
Abstract
This Article is a brief review of coarsening phenomena occurring in systems where quenched features - such as random field, varying coupling constants or lattice vacancies - spoil homogeneity. We discuss the current understanding of the problem in ferromagnetic systems with a non-conserved scalar order parameter by focusing primarily on the form of the growth-law of the ordered domains and on the scaling properties.
