SUMMARY:Jason Olejarz - Preliminary Oral Examination
DESCRIPTION:\nPart of the Preliminary Oral Exam.\n\nTitle:  Zero-Temperatur
	e Freezing in the 3d Kinetic Ising Model\n\nExamining Committee: Sid Redner
	\, Anders Sandvik\, Rama Bansil\, Lee Roberts\n\nAbstract:\n\nWe study the 
	long-time state of the kinetic Ising model on periodic cubic lattices after
	 a quench to zero temperature.  In contrast to the conventional picture fro
	m coarsening dynamics\, we find (i) clusters at long time are highly interp
	enetrating and topologically complex\, (ii) the long-time state is almost n
	ever static\, but rather contains "blinker" spins that can flip forever wit
	h no energy cost\, and (iii) the energy relaxation is extraordinarily slow\
	, with time scales growing exponentially with the system size.\n\nBest wish
	es to Jason!!
