The corrections to scaling within Mazenko’s theory in the limit of low and high dimensions

Abstract

We consider corrections to scaling within an approximate theory developed by Mazenko for nonconserved order parameter in the limit of low (d → 1) and high (d → ∞) dimensions. The corrections to scaling considered here follows from the departures of the initial condition from the scaling morphology. Including corrections to scaling, the equal time correlation function has the form: C(r, t )= f0(r/L)+L −ω f1(r/L)+ ··· ,w hereL is a characteristic length scale (i.e. domain size). The correction-to-scaling exponent ω and the correction-to-scaling functions f1(x) are calculated for both low and high dimensions. In both dimensions the value of ω is found to be ω = 4 similar to 1D Glauber model and OJK theory (the theory developed by Ohta, Jasnow and Kawasaki).
