We have performed a numerical integration of the deterministic time-dependent Ginzburg-Landau equation with a variable, concentration-dependent diffusion coefficient. The form of the pair-correlation function and the structure function are independent of temperature but the dynamics is slower at low temperature. A crossover between interfacial diffusion and bulk diffusion mechanisms is observed in the behavior of the characteristic domain size. This effect is explained theoretically in terms of an equation of motion for the interface.6 p.application/pdfeng(c) The American Physical Society, 1992Transformacions de fase (Física estadística)Temperatures baixesPhase transformations (Statistical physics)Low temperaturesinfo:eu-repo/semantics/article62565info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess
