At equilibrium, the displacement is Gaussian, with a variance growing as $A t^{1/2}$. The temperature dependence of the prefactor $A$ is derived exactly. At low temperature, where the static correlation length $\\xi$ is large, the mean square displacement grows as $(t/\\xi^2)^{2/3}$ in the coarsening regime, i.e., as a finite fraction of the mean square domain length. The case of totally asymmetric dynamics, where $(+)$ (resp. $(-)$) spins move only to the right (resp. to the left), is also considered. In the steady state, the displacement variance grows as $B t^{2/3}$. The temperature dependence of the prefactor $B$ is derived exactly, using the Kardar-Parisi-Zhang theory. At low temperature, the displacement variance grows as $t/\\xi^2$ in the coarsening regime, again proportionally to the mean square domain length.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v2", "updated": "2003-09-15T15:45:55.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "ferromagnetic ising chain", "kawasaki dynamics", "mean square domain length", "anomalous self-diffusion", "displacement variance grows" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 22, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
