Ordering Kinetics of Conserved XY Models

Abstract

The zero-temperature ordering kinetics of conserved XY models in spatial dimensions $d=2$ and 3 is studied using cell dynamical simulations. The growth of the characteristic length scale $L(t)$ is fully consistent with recent theoretical predictions: $L(t)\sim t^{1/4}$ for $d=2$ and $L(t)\sim (t\ln t{)}^{1/4}$ for $d=3$. A gaussian closure approximation describes the form of the structure factor rather well for $d=3$.
