Abstract

We investigate the late coarsening stages of one-dimensional adsorption processes with diffusional relaxation. The nonequilibrium domain size distribution is studied by means of the field theory associated with the stochastic evolution. An exact asymptotic solution satisfying dynamical scaling is given for cluster sizes smaller than the average domain length. Our results are supported and compared with Monte Carlo simulations.
