Ising Model — Kawasaki Dynamics

Kawasaki dynamics conserve the total magnetization: instead of flipping spins (Glauber), it swaps neighboring spin pairs, preserving the number of up and down spins. This models phase separation (spinodal decomposition) — watch droplets of one phase coalesce into larger domains as the system minimizes interfacial energy.

Tc ≈ 2.269 J/k_B (Onsager exact). Kawasaki dynamics conserve magnetization M = Σσᵢ exactly. Domain growth ~ t^(1/3) (Lifshitz-Slyozov).
