Abstract

This paper presents simulation results on the phase-ordering kinetics of two-dimensional O(2) models. Both the time-dependent Ginzburg-Landau (TDGL) model and the fixed length spin XY model on a square lattice are studied using the Langevin dynamics approach. The equal-time correlation functions of the TDGL model at zero temperature quench are shown to scale best with the length scale form of L(t)∼[t/(lnt)γ]0.5, with γ≃0.7, which is also consistent with the length scale derived from the energy-scaling argument, although with a slightly different value of γ. Critical dynamic scaling is satisfied for quenches to finite temperatures below TKT (the Kosterlitz-Thouless transition temperature). Autocorrelation functions show reasonable agreement with the theoretically predicted behavior of A(t)∼L(t)0[λ+η(T)], where λ0 is the zero temperature exponent for the autocorrelation and η(T) is the temperature-dependent exponent for the equilibrium correlation function.
