"High precision Monte Carlo simulations are used to study domain growth in a compressible two-dimensional spin-exchange Ising model with continuous particle positions and zero total magnetization," investigators in the United States report.
"For mismatched systems, we measure significant deviations from the theoretically expected late-time domain growth, R(t) - A + Bt(n) with n = 1/3. For a compressible model with no mismatch, we measure only a slight deviation from n = 1/3," wrote S.J. Mitchell and colleagues, University of Georgia.
The researchers concluded: "Our results indicate that our current understanding of domain growth is incomplete."
