## Abstract

We report computer simulation studies of the kinetics of ordering of a two dimensional system of particles on a template with a one dimensional periodic pattern. In equilibrium one obtains a re-entrant liquid-solid-liquid phase transition as the strength of the substrate potential is varied. We show that domains of crystalline order grow as $\\sim t^{1/z}$, with $z \\sim 4$ with a possible cross-over to $z \\sim 2$ at late times. We argue that the $t^{1/4}$ law originates from {\\em single-file} motion and annihilation of defect pairs of opposite topological charge along channels created by the template.

## Recorded benchmark results

A research result applies to its stated dataset, split, metric and evaluation configuration. Compare like-for-like settings, preserve the metric's unit and direction, and distinguish paper-reported results from independent reproduction. The best result recorded here is not a claim of exhaustive, current global coverage.
