Abstract

Recently Baumann et al (2007 Preprint 0709.3228v1) studied the phase-ordering kinetics of the two-dimensional Ising model for T < T c with uniform spatially quenched disorder by Monte Carlo simulations. They found that the two-time response and correlation functions are in agreement with the predictions of local scale invariance generalized to . The present paper shows why this is actually not true and suggests an alternative approach which leads to a much better agreement with the numerical results.

Phase-ordering kinetics of two-dimensional disordered Ising models

Baumann, Florian, Malte Henkel, Michel Pleimling

The phase-ordering kinetics of the ferromagnetic two-dimensional Ising model with uniform disorder is investigated by intensive Monte Carlo simulations. Taking into account finite-time corrections to scaling, simple ageing behaviour is observed in the two-time responses and correlators. The dynamical exponent z and the form of the scaling functions only depend on the ratio eps/T, where eps describes the width of the distribution of the disorder. The agreement of the predictions of local scale-invariance generalised to z<> 2 for the two-time scaling functions of response and correlations with the numerical data provides a direct test of generalised Galilei-invariance.

Two-time autocorrelation function in phase-ordering kinetics from local scale invariance

Malte Henkel, A Picone, M Pleimling

The time-dependent scaling of the two-time autocorrelation function of spin systems without disorder undergoing phase-ordering kinetics is considered. Its form is shown to be determined by an extension of dynamical scaling to a local scale invariance which turns out to be a new version of conformal invariance. The predicted autocorrelator is in agreement with Monte Carlo data on the autocorrelation function of the 2D kinetic Ising model with Glauber dynamics quenched to a temperature below criticality.

Test of local scale invariance from the direct measurement of the response function in the Ising model quenched to and below TC

Eugenio Lippiello, Federico Corberi, Marco Zannetti

In order to check on a recent suggestion that local scale invariance [M. Henkel, Phys. Rev. Lett. 87, 265701 (2001)] might hold when the dynamics is of Gaussian nature, we have carried out the measurement of the response function in the kinetic Ising model with Glauber dynamics quenched to T(C) in d=4, where Gaussian behavior is expected to apply, and in the two other cases of the d=2 model quenched to T(C) and to below T(C), where instead deviations from Gaussian behavior are expected to appear. We find that in the d=4 case there is an excellent agreement between the numerical data, the local scale invariance prediction and the analytical Gaussian approximation. No logarithmic corrections are numerically detected. Conversely, in the d=2 cases, both in the quench to T(C) and to below T(C), sizable deviations of the local scale invariance behavior from the numerical data are observed. These results do support the idea that local scale invariance might miss to capture the non-Gaussian features of the dynamics. The considerable precision needed for the comparison has been achieved through the use of a fast new algorithm for the measurement of the response function without applying the external field. From these high quality data we obtain a=0.27+/-0.002 for the scaling exponent of the response function in the d=2 Ising model quenched to below T(C), in agreement with previous results.

The non-equilibrium response of the critical Ising model: universal scaling properties and local scale invariance

Federico Corberi, Andrea Gambassi, Eugenio Lippiello +1 more

Motivated by recent numerical findings of Henkel et al (2006 J. Phys. A: Math. Gen. 39 L589) we re-examine via Monte Carlo simulations the linear response function of the two-dimensional Ising model with Glauber dynamics quenched to the critical point. At variance with the results of Henkel et al , we detect discrepancies between the actual scaling behavior of the response function and the prediction of local scale invariance. Such differences are clearly visible in the impulse autoresponse function, whereas they are drastically reduced in the integrated response functions. Accordingly, the scaling form predicted on the basis of local scale invariance simply provides an accurate fitting form for some quantities but cannot be considered to be exact.

Monte Carlo Investigation of Dynamic Critical Phenomena in the Two-Dimensional Kinetic Ising Model

E. Stoll, Kurt Binder, T. Schneider

Extending the Monte Carlo method to dynamic critical phenomena we investigated the time-dependent correlation functions in the two-dimensional one-spin-flip Ising model and the critical behavior of the associated relaxation times. These relaxation times are the following: ${\ensuremath{\tau}}_{\ensuremath{\delta}\ensuremath{\mu}}^{\ensuremath{\Delta}T}$, characterizing the approach of the order parameter to equilibrium after a change of temperature $\ensuremath{\Delta}T$ of the system; ${\ensuremath{\tau}}_{\ensuremath{\delta}\ensuremath{\mu}\ensuremath{\delta}\ensuremath{\mu}}$ and ${\ensuremath{\tau}}_{\ensuremath{\delta}\ensuremath{\mu}\ensuremath{\delta}\ensuremath{\mu}}^{A}$ characterizing the slowing down of the order-parameter correlation and autocorrelation functions, respectively; ${\ensuremath{\tau}}_{\ensuremath{\delta}\mathcal{H}\ensuremath{\delta}\mathcal{H}}$ and ${\ensuremath{\tau}}_{\ensuremath{\delta}\mathcal{H}\ensuremath{\delta}\mathcal{H}}^{A}$, characterizing the slowing down of the energy correlation and autocorrelation functions; and finally ${\ensuremath{\tau}}_{\ensuremath{\delta}\ensuremath{\mu}\ensuremath{\delta}\mathcal{H}}$, characterizing the cross-correlation function. We give estimates for the associated exponents ${\ensuremath{\Delta}}_{\ensuremath{\delta}\ensuremath{\mu}}^{\ensuremath{\Delta}T}\ensuremath{\approx}{\ensuremath{\Delta}}_{\ensuremath{\delta}\ensuremath{\mu}\ensuremath{\delta}\ensuremath{\mu}}\ensuremath{\approx}{\ensuremath{\Delta}}_{\ensuremath{\delta}\mathcal{H}\ensuremath{\delta}\mathcal{H}}\ensuremath{\approx}{\ensuremath{\Delta}}_{\ensuremath{\delta}\ensuremath{\mu}\ensuremath{\delta}\mathcal{H}}\ensuremath{\approx}1.90\ifmmode\pm\else\textpm\fi{}0.10$, and ${\ensuremath{\Delta}}_{\ensuremath{\delta}\ensuremath{\mu}\ensuremath{\delta}\ensuremath{\mu}}^{A}\ensuremath{\approx}1.60\ifmmode\pm\else\textpm\fi{}0.10$, ${\ensuremath{\Delta}}_{\ensuremath{\delta}\ensuremath{\mu}\ensuremath{\delta}\mathcal{H}}^{A}\ensuremath{\approx}0.95\ifmmode\pm\else\textpm\fi{}0.10$, ${\ensuremath{\Delta}}_{\ensuremath{\delta}\mathcal{H}\ensuremath{\delta}\mathcal{H}}^{A}\ensuremath{\approx}0$, which are consistent with the dynamic scaling hypothesis and with exact inequalities. A detailed comparison with recent high-temperature-expansion estimates is performed, and the reliability of the Monte Carlo results is carefully analyzed.

Monte Carlo renormalization group study of the two dimensional kinetic Ising model

John P. Bartel

The critical dynamics of the two dimensional Kinetic Ising Model have been studied using Monte Carlo Real Space Renormalization Group techniques. Time dependent correlation functions were calculated for square lattices of 16 x 16 and 32 x 32 spins, using periodic boundary conditions wth 60,000 and 15,000 Monte Carlo steps per spin, respectively;The critical exponent z was estimated using a matching process for a variety of renormalization group operators. The estimates for z were surprisingly sensitive to small changes in the value of the renormalization group operator, with physically reasonable operators giving estimates for z less than the rigorous lower bound for z of z(,o) = 1.75. The estimates for z from a given renormalization group operator showed poor convergence properties. Attempts to estimate z from the scaling form of the correlation function were inconclusive, as were attempts to estimate the static exponent (eta);Possible explanations of these unexpected results are discussed. The most plausible source of the complex behavior seen in this work is the discrete nature of time in the Monte Carlo computer simulation, which generates phenomena not present in standard theoretical treatments of the Kinetic Ising Model.
