Abstract

Geometric properties of polymixtures after a sudden quench in temperature are studied through the q-states Potts model on a square lattice, and their evolution with Monte Carlo simulations with non-conserved order parameter. We analyse the distribution of hull enclosed areas for different initial conditions and compare with exact and numerical findings for the q = 2 (Ising) case.
