Aging during Phase Separation in Long-Range Ising Model

Abstract: The kinetics of domain growth and aging in conserved order parameter systems, in the presence of short-range interaction, is widely studied. Due to technical difficulties and lack of resources, regarding computation, the dynamics is still not well established in the cases where long-range interactions are involved. Here we present related results from the Monte Carlo simulations of the two-dimensional long-range Ising model (LRIM). Random initial configurations, for $50:50$ compositions of up and down spins, mimicking high temperature equilibrium states, have been quenched to temperatures inside the coexistence curve. Our analysis of the simulation data, for such a protocol, shows interesting dependence of the aging exponent, $\lambda$, on $\sigma$, the parameter, within the Hamiltonian, that controls the range of interaction. To complement these results, we also discuss simulation outcomes for the growth exponent. The obtained values of $\lambda$ are compared with a well-known result for the lower bounds. For this purpose we have extracted interesting properties of the evolving structure.
