Mazenko %J Physics %D 2001 %I arXiv %R 10.1103/PhysRevE.64.016110 %X The statistical correlations between defects in the two dimensional complex Ginsburg-Landau model are studied in the defect-coarsening regime. In particular the defect-velocity probability distribution is determined and has the same high velocity tail found for the purely dissipative time-dependent Ginsburg-Landau (TDGL) model. The spiral arms of the defects lead to a very different behavior for the order parameter correlation function in the scaling regime compared to the results for the TDGL model. %U http://arxiv.org/abs/cond-mat/0102330v1
