title: Autocorrelation functions for phase separation in ternary mixtures.
abstract: 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 simulations of the spin-1 Blume-Emery-Griffiths model with spin-exchange kinetics. Further, we model the autocorrelation functions using an approach based on the continuous-time random walk formalism. The aging property of these functions is related to the time dependence of the domain-size distribution. Our analytical results are found to be in good agreement with the numerical data.
