Abstract:
We explore the effect of interplay of interfacial noise and curvature-driven dynamics in a binary spin system. An appropriate model is the generalized two-dimensional voter model proposed earlier [M. J. de Oliveira, J. F. F. Mendes, and M. A. Santos, J. Phys. A: Math. Gen. 26, 2317 (1993)JPHAC50305-447010.1088/0305-4470/26/10/006], where the flipping probability of a spin depends on the state of its neighbors and is given in terms of two parameters, x and y. x=0.5andy=1 correspond to the conventional voter model which is purely interfacial noise driven, while x=1 and y=1 correspond to the Ising model, where coarsening is fully curvature driven. The coarsening phenomena for 0.5
