Abstract

We study the growth kinetics of a time-dependent Ginzburg-Landau model appropriate for the dynamics of a simple order-disorder transition by direct numerical solution of the associated Langevin equation. Our results are consistent with the Lifshitz-Cahn-Allen theory of curvature-driven dynamics. Our calculations indicate that such methods can be used to analyze more sophisticated models, and that they are at least competitive with Monte Carlo simulations.

APS and the Physical Review Editorial Office Continue to Support Researchers

COVID-19 has impacted many institutions and organizations around the world, disrupting the progress of research. Through this difficult time APS and the Physical Review editorial office are fully equipped and actively working to support researchers by continuing to carry out all editorial and peer-review functions and publish research in the journals as well as minimizing disruption to journal access.

We appreciate your continued effort and commitment to helping advance science, and allowing us to publish the best physics journals in the world. And we hope you, and your loved ones, are staying safe and healthy.

Ways to Access APS Journal Articles Off-Campus

Many researchers now find themselves working away from their institutions and, thus, may have trouble accessing the Physical Review journals. To address this, we have been improving access via several different mechanisms. See Off-Campus Access to Physical Review for further instructions.
