Persistence Properties of a Phase-ordering System with Competing Dynamics (opens in new tab)

We investigate the persistence properties during phase ordering in the two-dimensional ($d=2$) Ising model evolving under competing nonconserved spin-flip and conserved spin-exchange dynamics by means of Monte Carlo simulations at zero temperature. We examine three distinct persistence probabilities: (i) the total persistence probability, defined as the probability that a lattice site has never experienced a change in the sign of the spin residi...
