Ordering kinetics in the random-bond XY model

We present a comprehensive Monte Carlo study of domain growth in the random-bond XY model with nonconserved kinetics. The presence of quenched disorder slows down domain growth in d=2,3. In d=2, we observe power-law growth with a disorder-dependent exponent on the time scales of our simulation. In d=3, we see the signature of an asymptotically logarithmic growth regime. The scaling functions for the real-space correlation function are seen to be independent of the disorder. However, the same does not apply for the two-time autocorrelation function, demonstrating the breakdown of superuniversality.
