Kibble-Zurek mechanism and infinitely slow annealing through critical points
Giulio Biroli, Leticia F. Cugliandolo, Alberto Sicilia
We revisit the Kibble-Zurek mechanism by analyzing the dynamics of phase ordering systems during an infinitely slow annealing across a second order phase transition. We elucidate t…
Curvature-driven coarsening in the two dimensional Potts model
Marcos P. O. Loureiro, Jeferson J. Arenzon, Leticia F. Cugliandolo +1
We study the geometric properties of polymixtures after a sudden quench in temperature. We mimic these systems with the -states Potts model on a square lattice with and without…
Geometrical properties of parafermionic spin models
Marco Picco, Raoul Santachiara, Alberto Sicilia
We present measurements of the fractal dimensions associated to the geometrical clusters for Z_4 and Z_5 spin models. We also attempted to measure similar fractal dimensions for th…
Geometry of phase separation
Alberto Sicilia, Yoann Sarrazin, Jeferson J. Arenzon +2
We study the domain geometry during spinodal decomposition of a 50:50 binary mixture in two dimensions. Extending arguments developed to treat non-conserved coarsening, we obtain a…
Experimental test of curvature-driven dynamics in the phase ordering of a two dimensional liquid crystal
Alberto Sicilia, Jeferson J. Arenzon, Ingo Dierking +5
We study electric field driven deracemization in an achiral liquid crystal through the formation and coarsening of chiral domains. It is proposed that deracemization in this system…
Geometric properties of two-dimensional coarsening with weak disorder
Alberto Sicilia, Jeferson J. Arenzon, Alan J. Bray +1
The domain morphology of weakly disordered ferromagnets, quenched from the high-temperature phase to the low-temperature phase, is studied using numerical simulations. We find that…
