contents We perform a comprehensive study on the role of thermal noise on the ordering kinetics of a collection of active Brownian particles modeled using coarse-grained conserved active model B (AMB). The ordering kinetics of the system is studied for the critical mixture when quenched from high to a low temperature. The structure of the growing domains changes from isolated droplet type for AMB without noise to bi-continuous type for active model B with noise (AMBN). Unlike the passive counterpart of the AMB, the noise is relevant for the growth kinetics of the AMB. We use extensive numerical study, as well as dynamic scaling hypothesis to characterize the kinetics of the system. We find that the asymptotic growth law for AMBN is diffusive Lifshitz-Slyozov (LS) type, whereas it was reported previously that the asymptotic growth law for the AMB without noise is slower, with a growth exponent 4. Moreover, the kinetics of the growing domains show a strong time dependent growth for AMBN. The growth law shows a crossover from early time 1/3 value to intermediate time 1/4 value, and it again traverses from 1/4 to 1/3 asymptotically. The two different scaling functions are found for intermediate time and late time with growth law 1/4 and 1/3 respectively.
