Abstract:
We investigate the aging properties of phase-separation kinetics following quenches from T=∞ to a finite temperature below T_{c} of the paradigmatic two-dimensional conserved Ising model with power-law decaying long-range interactions ∼r^{-(2+σ)}. Physical aging with a power-law decay of the two-time autocorrelation function C(t,t_{w})∼(t/t_{w})^{-λ/z} is observed, displaying a complex dependence of the autocorrelation exponent λ on σ. A value of λ=3.500(26) for the corresponding nearest-neighbor model (which is recovered as the σ→∞ limit) is determined. The values of λ in the long-range regime (σ<1) are all compatible with λ≈4. In between, a continuous crossover is visible for 1≲σ≲2 with nonuniversal, σ-dependent values of λ. The performed Metropolis Monte Carlo simulations are primarily enabled by our novel algorithm for long-range interacting systems.

Meiosis II
The timing and cell division patterns of meiosis differ between males and females. In male meiosis, the centrosomes are part of the formation of the meiotic spindle. However, in oocytes, including that of humans, Drosophila,...
Phase Changes
A substance melts or freezes at a temperature called its melting point and boils or condenses at its boiling point. These temperatures depend on pressure. High pressure favors the denser form of the substance, so typically, high pressure...
