A. Lipowski et D. Johnston, Crystallization of a supercooled liquid and of a glass: Ising model approach - art. no. 041605, PHYS REV E, 6404(4), 2001, pp. 1605
Using Monte Carlo simulations we study crystallization in the three-dimensi
onal Ising model with four-spin interaction. We monitor the morphology of c
rystals which grow after placing crystallization seeds in a supercooled liq
uid. Defects in such crystals constitute an intricate and very stable netwo
rk that separates various domains by tensionless domain walls. We also show
that the crystallization which occurs during the continuous heating of the
glassy phase takes place at a heating-rate-dependent temperature.
