Testing Nucleation Theory in Two Dimensions

چکیده
We calculate bubble-nucleation rates for (2+1)-dimensional scalar theories at high temperature. Our approach is based on the notion of a real coarse-grained potential. The region of applicability of our method is determined through internal consistency criteria. We compare our results with data from lattice simulations. Good agreement is observed when the renormalized action of the simulated theory is known.

Nucleation and hysteresis in Ising model: Classical theory versus computer simulation
We have studied the nucleation in the nearest neighbour ferromagnetic Ising model, in different (d) dimensions, by extensive Monte Carlo simulation using the heat-bath dynamics. The nucleation time (τ) has been studied as a function of the magnetic field (h) for various system sizes in different dimensions (d = 2, 3, 4). The logarithm of the nucleation time is found to be proportional to the po...
متن کاملThe classical nucleation rate in two dimensions
In many systems in condensed matter physics and quantum field theory, first order phase transitions are initiated by the nucleation of bubbles of the stable phase. In homogeneous nucleation theory the nucleation rate Γ can be written in the form of the Arrhenius law: Γ = Ae −Hc. Here H c is the energy of the critical bubble, and the prefactor A can be expressed in terms of the determinant of th...
متن کاملMean field and Monte Carlo studies of the magnetization - reversal transition in the Ising model February 6 , 2008
Detailed mean field andMonte Carlo studies of the dynamic magnetizationreversal transition in the Ising model in its ordered phase under a competing external magnetic field of finite duration have been presented here. Approximate analytical treatment of the mean field equations of motion shows the existence of diverging length and time scales across this dynamic transition phase boundary. These...

متن کاملDamage Behavior in Modern Automotive High Strength Dual Phase Steels During Uniaxial Tensile Deformation
In the present research, damage mechanisms during room temperature uniaxial tensile testing of two different modern high strength dual phase steels,DP780 and DP980, were studied. Detailed microstructural characterization of the strained and sectioned samples was performed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The results revealed that interface decohesion, especially at the triple junctions of...
