Growth kinetics of the random-field Ising model cooled to zero temperature

Abstract
The growth kinetics of the random-field Ising model cooled to zero temperature is studied for the cases of fast cooling in a field and slow cooling preceding introduction of a field. Rapid freezing allows the use of Monte Carlo methods to make a detailed comparison and to determine the favored state. Qualitative similarities to experimental studies of site-diluted antiferromagnets are described.
