Zero-temperature freezing in the three-dimensional kinetic Ising model
Zero-temperature freezing in the three-dimensional kinetic Ising model
We investigate the long-time properties of the Ising-Glauber model on a periodic cubic lattice after a quench to zero temperature. In contrast to the conventional picture from phase-ordering kinetics, we find: (i) Domains at long time are highly interpenetrating and topologically complex, with average genus growing algebraically with system size. …
