Abstract

We calculate the relaxational dynamical critical behavior of systems of O(n_{ parallel}) plus sign in circleO(n_{ perpendicular}) symmetry including conservation of magnetization by renormalization group theory within the minimal subtraction scheme in two-loop order. Within the stability region of the Heisenberg fixed point and the biconical fixed point, strong dynamical scaling holds, with the asymptotic dynamical critical exponent z=2varphinu-1 , where varphi is the crossover exponent and nu the exponent of the correlation length. The critical dynamics at n_{ parallel}=1 and n_{ perpendicular}=2 is governed by a small dynamical transient exponent leading to nonuniversal nonasymptotic dynamical behavior. This may be seen, e.g., in the temperature dependence of the magnetic transport coefficients.

Field theory of bicritical and tetracritical points. II. Relaxational dynamics

R. Folk, Yurij V. Holovatch, G. Moser

We calculate the relaxational dynamical critical behavior of systems of O(n_||)(plus sign in circle)O(n_perpendicular) symmetry by renormalization group method within the minimal subtraction scheme in two-loop order. The three different bicritical static universality classes previously found for such systems correspond to three different dynamical universality classes within the static borderlines. The Heisenberg and the biconical fixed point lead to strong dynamic scaling whereas in the region of stability of the decoupled fixed point weak dynamic scaling holds. Due to the neighborhood of the stability border between the strong and the weak scaling dynamic fixed point to the dynamical stable fixed point a very small dynamic transient exponent of omega(Beta)_(v) =0.0044 is present in the dynamics for the physically important case n_|| =1 and n_perpendicular =2 in d=3 .

Field theory of bicritical and tetracritical points. I. Statics

R. Folk, Yurij V. Holovatch, G. Moser

We calculate the static critical behavior of systems of O(n_||)(plus sign in circle)O(n_perpendicular) symmetry by the renormalization group method within the minimal subtraction scheme in two-loop order. Summation methods lead to fixed points describing multicritical behavior. Their stability border lines in the space of the order parameter components n_|| and n_perpendicular and spatial dimension d are calculated. The essential features obtained already in two-loop order for the interesting case of an antiferromagnet in a magnetic field ( n_|| =1, n_perpendicular =2 ) are the stability of the biconical fixed point and the neighborhood of the stability border lines to the other fixed points, leading to very small transient exponents. We are also able to calculate the flow of static couplings, which allows us to consider the attraction region. Depending on the nonuniversal background parameters, the existence of different multicritical behavior (bicritical or tetracritical) is possible, including a triple point.

Field theory of bicritical and tetracritical points. IV. Critical dynamics including reversible terms

R. Folk, Yurij V. Holovatch, G. Moser

This article concludes a series of papers [Folk, Holovatch, and Moser, Phys. Rev. E 78, 041124 (2008); 78, 041125 (2008); 79, 031109 (2009)] where the tools of the field theoretical renormalization group were employed to explain and quantitatively describe different types of static and dynamic behavior in the vicinity of multicritical points. Here we give the complete two-loop calculation and analysis of the dynamic renormalization-group flow equations at the multicritical point in anisotropic antiferromagnets in an external magnetic field. We find that the time scales of the order parameters characterizing the parallel and perpendicular ordering with respect to the external field scale in the same way. This holds independent whether the Heisenberg fixed point or the biconical fixed point in statics is the stable one. The nonasymptotic analysis of the dynamic flow equations shows that due to cancellation effects the critical behavior is described, in distances from the critical point accessible to experiments, by the critical behavior qualitatively found in one-loop order. Although one may conclude from the effective dynamic exponents (taking almost their one-loop values) that weak scaling for the order parameter components is valid, the flow of the time-scale ratios is quite different, and they do not reach their asymptotic values.

Field Theoretical Approach to Bicritical and Tetracritical Behavior: Static and Dynamics

R. Folk, Yurij V. Holovatch, G. Moser

We discuss the static and dynamic multicritical behavior of three-dimensional systems of $O(n_\|)\oplus O(n_\perp)$ symmetry as it is explained by the field theoretical renormalization group method. Whereas the static renormalization group functions are currently know within high order expansions, we show that an account of two loop contributions refined by an appropriate resummation technique gives an accurate quantitative description of the multicritical behavior. One of the essential features of the static multicritical behavior obtained already in two loop order for the interesting case of an antiferromagnet in a magnetic field ($n_\|=1$, $n_\perp=2$) are the stability of the biconical fixed point and the neighborhood of the stability border lines to the other fixed points leading to very small transient exponents. We further pursue an analysis of dynamical multicritical behavior choosing different forms of critical dynamics and calculating asymptotic and effective dynamical exponents within the minimal subtraction scheme.

Biconical critical dynamics

R. Folk, Yurij V. Holovatch, G. Moser

A complete two-loop renormalization group calculation of the multicritical dynamics at a tetracritical or bicritical point in three-dimensional anisotropic antiferromagnets in an external magnetic field is performed. Although strong scaling for the two order parameters (OPs) perpendicular and parallel to the field is restored as found earlier, in the experimentally accessible region the effective dynamical exponents for the relaxation of the OPs remain different since their equal asymptotic values are not reached.

Dynamic scaling and corrections to scaling near bicritical and tetracritical points

V. Dohm, H. K. Janssen

We study the critical dynamics of stochastic models appropriate for describing bicritical and tetracritical points in anisotropic antiferromagnetic systems. The dynamic exponents and the transient exponents are calculated by renormalized field theory up to two-loop order. In the presence of reversible mode-coupling terms, two-loop contributions establish bicritical dynamic scaling in the restricted sense and invalidate recent predictions based on mode-coupling arguments. In the case of an n-component relaxational model total dynamic scaling is found to O (ε2) both at the bicritical (n≲3) and the tetracritical (4≲n<11) points.
