Relaxational dynamics in 3D randomly diluted Ising models

Abstract

We study the purely relaxational dynamics (model A) at criticality in three-dimensional disordered Ising systems whose static critical behaviour belongs to the randomly diluted Ising universality class. We consider the site-diluted and bond-diluted Ising models, and the ± J Ising model along the paramagnetic–ferromagnetic transition line. We perform Monte Carlo simulations at the critical point using the Metropolis algorithm and study the dynamic behaviour in equilibrium at various values of the disorder parameter. The results provide a robust evidence of the existence of a unique model-A dynamic universality class which describes the relaxational critical dynamics in all considered models. In particular, the analysis of the size dependence of suitably defined autocorrelation times at the critical point provides the estimate z = 2.35(2) for the universal dynamic critical exponent. We also study the off-equilibrium relaxational dynamics following a quench from to T c . In agreement with the field-theory scenario, the analysis of the off-equilibrium dynamic critical behaviour gives an estimate of z that is perfectly consistent with the equilibrium estimate z = 2.35(2).

The universality class of 3D site-diluted and bond-diluted Ising systems

Martin Hasenbusch B, Francesco Parisen Toldin, Andrea Pelissetto C +1 more

We present a finite-size scaling analysis of high-statistics Monte Carlo simulations of the three-dimensional randomly site-diluted and bond-diluted Ising model. The critical behaviour of these systems is affected by slowly decaying scaling corrections which make the accurate determination of their universal asymptotic behaviour quite hard, requiring an effective control of the scaling corrections. For this purpose we exploit improved Hamiltonians, for which the leading scaling corrections are suppressed for any thermodynamic quantity, and improved observables, for which the leading scaling corrections are suppressed for any model belonging to the same universality class. The results of the finite-size scaling analysis provide strong numerical evidence that phase transitions in three-dimensional randomly site-diluted and bond-diluted Ising models belong to the same randomly dilute Ising universality class. We obtain accurate estimates of the critical exponents, ν = 0.683(2), η = 0.036(1), α = −0.049(6), γ = 1.341(4), β = 0.354(1), δ = 4.792(6), and of the leading and next-to-leading correction-to-scaling exponents, ω = 0.33(3) and ω 2 = 0.82(8).

Off-equilibrium relaxational dynamics with an improved Ising Hamiltonian

Mario Collura

We study the off-equilibrium relaxational dynamics at criticality in the three-dimensional Blume–Capel model whose static critical behaviour belongs to the 3D Ising universality class. Using an 'improved' Hamiltonian (the leading corrections to scaling have vanishing amplitude) we perform Monte Carlo simulations of the relaxational dynamics after a quench from to T c . Analysing the off-equilibrium dynamics at T c we obtain an estimate of the dynamical critical exponent z = 2.020(8) that is perfectly consistent with the field theory predictions.

Equilibrium and out-of-equilibrium critical dynamics of the three-dimensional Heisenberg model with random cubic anisotropy

Antonio Astillero, Juan Jesus Ruiz-Lorenzo

We study the critical dynamics of the three-dimensional Heisenberg model with random cubic anisotropy in the out-of-equilibrium and equilibrium regimes. Analytical approaches based on field theory predict that the universality class of this model is that of the three-dimensional site-diluted Ising model. We have been able to estimate the dynamic critical exponent by working in the equilibrium regime and by computing the integrated autocorrelation times obtaining z=2.50(5) (without taking into account scaling corrections) and z=2.29(11) (by fixing the scaling corrections to that predicted by field theory). In the out-of-equilibrium regime we have focused on the study of the dynamic correlation length, allowing us to compute the dynamic critical exponent obtaining z=2.38(2), which is compatible with the equilibrium ones. Finally, both estimates are also compatible with the most accurate prediction z=2.35(2), from numerical simulations of the 3D site-diluted Ising model, in agreement with the predictions based on field theory.

Dynamic critical exponent z of the three-dimensional Ising universality class: Monte Carlo simulations of the improved Blume-Capel model

Martin Hasenbusch B

We study purely dissipative relaxational dynamics in the three-dimensional Ising universality class. To this end, we simulate the improved Blume-Capel model on the simple cubic lattice by using local algorithms. We perform a finite size scaling analysis of the integrated autocorrelation time of the magnetic susceptibility in equilibrium at the critical point. We obtain z=2.0245(15) for the dynamic critical exponent. As a complement, fully magnetized configurations are suddenly quenched to the critical temperature, giving consistent results for the dynamic critical exponent. Furthermore, our estimate of z is fully consistent with recent field theoretic results.

Criticality of the random-site Ising model: Metropolis, Swendsen-Wang and Wolff Monte Carlo algorithms

Dmytro Ivaneyko, Jaroslav Ilnytskyi, Bertrand Berche +1 more

We apply numerical simulations to study the criticality of the 3D Ising model with random site quenched dilution. The emphasis is given to the issues not being discussed in detail before. In particular, we attempt a comparison of different Monte Carlo techniques, discussing regions of their applicability and advantages/disadvantages depending on the aim of a particular simulation set. Moreover, besides evaluation of the critical indices we estimate the universal ratio $Γ^+/Γ^-$ for the magnetic susceptibility critical amplitudes. Our estimate $Γ^+/Γ^- = 1.67 \pm 0.15$ is in a good agreement with the recent MC analysis of the random-bond Ising model giving further support that both random-site and random-bond dilutions lead to the same universality class.

Short-time dynamics and critical behavior of the three-dimensional site-diluted Ising model

Vladimir V. Prudnikov, Pavel Vladimirovich Prudnikov, Aleksandr Krinitsyn +3 more

Monte Carlo simulations of the short-time dynamic behavior are reported for three-dimensional weakly site-diluted Ising model with spin concentrations p=0.95 and 0.8 at criticality. In contrast to studies of the critical behavior of the pure systems by the short-time dynamics method, our investigations of site-diluted Ising model have revealed three stages of the dynamic evolution characterizing a crossover phenomenon from the critical behavior typical for the pure systems to behavior determined by the influence of disorder. The static and dynamic critical exponents are determined with the use of the corrections to scaling for systems starting separately from ordered and disordered initial states. The obtained values of the exponents demonstrate a universal behavior of weakly site-diluted Ising model in the critical region. The values of the exponents are compared to results of numerical simulations which have been obtained in various works and, also, with results of the renormalization-group description of this model.
