Freezing into stripe states in two-dimensional ferromagnets and crossing probabilities in critical percolation
Freezing into stripe states in two-dimensional ferromagnets and crossing probabilities in critical percolation
When a two-dimensional Ising ferromagnet is quenched from above the critical temperature to zero temperature, the system eventually converges to either a ground state or an infinitely long-lived metastable stripe state. By applying results from percolation theory, we analytically determine the probability to reach the stripe state as a function …
