Dynamics of the formation of ordered domains out of initially disordered configurations

摘要: This talk reviews phenomenological theories and Monte Carlo simulations on the dynamics of ordering processes, associated statistical fluctuations, both in pure systems with quenched disorder. Particular attention is paid to understand size effects approach thermodynamic limit: we discuss time-scales which fluctuations around an equilibrium state decay, time-scale for growth a domain comparable system volume, “ergodic time” dynamically averages over its various ordered configurations.
