## Description

- description: Thermal quenching has been employed to discover various metastable
    materials such as hard steels and metallic glasses. More recently, quenching-based
    phase control has been applied to correlated electron systems that exhibit metal-insulator,
    magnetic, or superconducting transitions. Despite the discovery of metastable
    electronic phases, however, the microscopic origin of metastability remains elusive,
    as the system’s degrees of freedom—such as electrons—can vary even at low temperatures.
    Here, using Monte Carlo simulations, we demonstrate a thermally quenched metastable
    phase in the Ising model that does not conserve the total magnetization. When
    multiple types of interactions that stabilize different long-range orders are
    introduced, the ordering kinetics exhibits significant slowing down, and the characteristic
    timescale for ordering diverges as the temperature decreases. As a result, the
    system can reach low temperatures without undergoing ordering if the cooling rate
    is sufficiently high. Quantitative analysis of the divergent behavior suggests
    that the energy barrier for eliminating the local structure of competing orders
    is the origin of this metastability. Thus, the present simulation demonstrates
    that competing interactions play an essential role in achieving metastability.
