Abstract:
We present robust scaling laws for the Euler characteristic and curvatures applicable to any symmetric system undergoing phase separating or ordering kinetics. We apply it to the phase ordering in a system of the nonconserved scalar order parameter and find three scaling regimes. The appearance of the preferred nonzero curvature of an interface separating +/- domains marks the crossover to the late stage regime characterized by the Lifshitz-Cahn-Allen scaling.
