Abstract

We introduce two very simple models to decribe coarsening. Both models possesses two characteristics: long range diffusive interaction and fluctuations. Computer simulations show that they lead to bimodal particle size distributions. The appearance of bimodal distribution can be related to a discontinuous particle growth rate.
