We investigated domain growth in switching processes between the low-spin and high-spin phases in thermally induced hysteresis loops of spin-crossover (SC) solids. Elastic interactions among the molecules induce effective long-range interactions, and thus the boundary condition plays a significant role in the dynamics. In contrast to SC systems with periodic boundary conditions, where uniform configurations are maintained during the switching process, we found that domain structures appear with open boundary conditions. Unlike Ising-like models with short-range interactions, domains always grow from the corners of the system. The present clustering mechanism provides an insight into the switching dynamics of SC solids, in particular, in nano-scale systems.
