Dynamical mechanism for the formation of metastable phases: The case of two nonconserved order parameters
Rapid temperature quenches have long been known to produce metastable thermodynamic phases. We analyze a Landau-Ginzburg model of front propagation and show that metastable phases can arise via a transition that splits the front separating the disordered from the stable phase into one front between the...
