Phase ordering in disordered and inhomogeneous systems

arXiv:1506.01199 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevE.91.062122

Abstract

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 dynamical behaviors characterized by different growth-laws of the ordered domains size - logarithmic or power-law respectively. It is conjectured that the interplay between these dynamical classes is regulated by the same topological feature which governs the presence or the absence of a finite-temperature phase-transition.
