Using the autocorrelation and autoresponse functions to gauge the deviation from equilibrium, an hierarchy of processes is obtained by changing the temperature of the quench and the space dimensionality. The special role of the lower critical dimensionality is highlighted. Basic properties like the separation of the time scales and the splitting of degrees of freedom into fast and slow variables are treated in detail, both in general terms and through analytical calculations in solvable models. Though domain growth is believed to be a well understood paradigma of slow relaxation, emphasis of this review is on the non trivial aspects, not yet fully clarified, like the response function scaling behavior.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2014-12-15T16:52:32.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "domain growth", "non trivial aspects", "response function scaling behavior", "istantaneous temperature quench", "autoresponse functions" ], "tags": [ "book chapter", "journal article" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 57, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2014arXiv1412.4670Z" } } }
