Abstract

We study the dynamics of phase separation in multicomponent mixtures through Monte Carlo simulations of the q-state Potts model with conserved kinetics. We use the Monte Carlo renormalization-group method to investigate the asymptotic regime. The domain growth law is found to be consistent with the Lifshitz-Slyozov law, L(t)~t1/3 (where t is time), regardless of the value of q. We also present results for the scaled correlation functions and domain-size distribution functions for a range of q values.
