Aging and Equilibrium Fluctuations for domain Growth in Ternary Mixtures

We present numerical and analytical results for the autocorrelation functions which characterize domain growth in ternary mixtures. The numerical results are obtained from Monte Carlo studies of the spin-1 Blume-Emery-Griffiths model with spin-exchange kinetics. We formulate a stochastic model, which accounts for both aging and equilibrium contributions to the autocorrelation functions.
