When a two-dimensional Ising ferromagnet is quenched from above the critical temperature
to zero temperature, the system eventually converges to either a ground state or an infinitely …

We show that the recently introduced label propagation method for detecting communities in
complex networks is equivalent to finding the local minima of a simple Potts model. Applying …

We study the geometric properties of polymixtures after a sudden quench in temperature.
We mimic these systems with the q-states Potts model on a square lattice with and without …

From Kawasaki-exchange Monte Carlo simulations of the q-state Potts model, we present
results for the kinetics of phase separation in multicomponent mixtures, for q≤ 10, in space …

Although intuitively appealing, the concept of spinodal is rigorously defined only in systems
with infinite range interactions (mean-field systems). In short-range systems, a …

We implemented a GPU-based parallel code to perform Monte Carlo simulations of the two-
dimensional q-state Potts model. The algorithm is based on a checkerboard update scheme …

We uncover unusual topological features in the long-time relaxation of the q-state kinetic
Potts ferromagnet on the triangular lattice that is instantaneously quenched to zero …

We study the fate of the 2d kinetic q-state Potts model after a sudden quench to zero
temperature. Both ground states and complicated static states are reached with non-zero …

Block copolymer thin films have attracted considerable attention for their ability to self-
assemble into nanometre-scale architectures. Recent advances in the use of block …

We study the dynamic evolution of geometric structures in a polydegenerate system
represented by aq-state Potts model with nonconserved order parameter that is quenched …
