The Chapter is devoted to reviewing the main features of aging in non disordered systems relaxing via domain growth, after an istantaneous temperature quench. Using the autocorrelation and autoresponse functions to gauge the deviation from equilibrium, an hierarchy of processes is obtained by changing the temperature of the quench and the space dimensionality. The special role of the lower critical dimensionality is highlighted. Basic properties like the separation of the time scales and the splitting of degrees of freedom into fast and slow variables are treated in detail, both in general terms and through analytical calculations in solvable models. Though domain growth is believed to be a well understood paradigma of slow relaxation, emphasis of this review is on the non trivial aspects, not yet fully clarified, like the response function scaling behavior.
We have used molecular dynamics simulations for a comprehensive study of phase separation in a two-dimensional single component off-lattice model where particles interact through the Lennard-Jones potential. Via state-of-the-art methods we have analy
We study numerically a model of nonequilibrium networks where nodes and links are added at each time step with aging of nodes and connectivity- and age-dependent attachment of links. By varying the effects of age in the attachment probability we find
A stochastic genetic model for biological aging is introduced bridging the gap between the bit-string Penna model and the Pletcher-Neuhauser approach. The phenomenon of exponentially increasing mortality function at intermediate ages and its decelera
We review the field of the glass transition, glassy dynamics and aging from a statistical mechanics perspective. We give a brief introduction to the subject and explain the main phenomenology encountered in glassy systems, with a particular emphasis
The goal of this work is to show that a ferromagnetic-like domain growth process takes place within the backbone of the three-dimensional $pm J$ Edwards-Anderson (EA) spin glass model. To sustain this affirmation we study the heterogeneities displaye
