Abstract

Local and global persistence exponents associated with zero-temperature quenched dynamics of two-dimensional XY model and three-dimensional Heisenberg model have been estimated using numerical simulations. The method of block persistence has been used to find the global and local exponents simultaneously (in a single simulation). Temperature universality of both the exponents for three-dimensional Heisenberg model has been confirmed by simulating the stochastic (with noise) version of the equation of motion. The noise amplitudes added were small enough to retain the dynamics below criticality. In the second part of our work we have studied scaling associated with correlated persistence sites in the three-dimensional Heisenberg model in the later stages of the dynamics. The relevant length scale associated with correlated persistent sites was found to behave in a manner similar to the dynamic length scale associated with the phase ordering dynamics.

Persistence exponents and scaling in two-dimensionalXYmodel and a nematic model

Subhrajit Dutta, Soumen Roy

The persistence exponents associated with the T = 0 quenching dynamics of the two-dimensional XY model and a two-dimensional uniaxial spin nematic model have been evaluated using a numerical simulation. The site persistence or the probability that the sign of a local spin component does not change starting from initial time t = 0 up to a certain time t , is found to decay as L ( t ) −θ ( L ( t ) is the linear domain length scale), with θ = 0.305(±0.020) for the two-dimensional XY model and 0.199(±0.009) for the two-dimensional uniaxial spin nematic model. We have also investigated the scaling (at the late time of phase ordering) associated with the correlated persistent sites in both models. The persistence correlation length was found to grow in the same way as L ( t ).

Fractality in persistence decay and domain growth during ferromagnetic ordering: Dependence upon initial correlation

Saikat Chakraborty, Subir K. Das

The dynamics of ordering in the Ising model, following quench to zero temperature, has been studied via Glauber spin-flip Monte Carlo simulations in space dimensions d=2 and 3. One of the primary objectives has been to understand phenomena associated with the persistent spins, viz., time decay in the number of unaffected spins, growth of the corresponding pattern, and its fractal dimensionality for varying correlation length in the initial configurations, prepared at different temperatures, at and above the critical value. It is observed that the fractal dimensionality and the exponent describing the power-law decay of persistence probability are strongly dependent upon the relative values of nonequilibrium domain size and the initial equilibrium correlation length. Via appropriate scaling analyses, these quantities have been estimated for quenches from infinite and critical temperatures. The above-mentioned dependence is observed to be less pronounced in the higher dimension. In addition to these findings for the local persistence, we present results for the global persistence as well. Furthermore, important observations on the standard domain growth problem are reported. For the latter, a controversy in d=3, related to the value of the exponent for the power-law growth of the average domain size with time, has been resolved.

Short-time critical and coarsening dynamics of the classical three-dimensional Heisenberg model

Henrique A. Fernandes, Roberto da Silva, J. R. Drugowich de Felício

The dynamic critical behaviour of the three-dimensional classical Heisenberg model was studied by using short-time Monte Carlo simulations. The dynamic critical exponents z , θ and θ g , as well as the static critical exponents ν and β, were estimated by following the time evolution of the z -component of the total magnetization and its moments of higher order. The anomalous dimension of the magnetization x 0 was also calculated from a relation obtained through finite size scaling in the non-equilibrium stage. Afterwards, the local persistence exponent θ l was obtained by following the power law behaviour of the local persistence probability when the system was quenched from high temperatures to the null one ( T = 0). The time evolution of P l ( t ) was also analysed for T >0 and the expected exponential stretch was observed.

Non-Markovian global persistence in phase ordering kinetics

Malte Henkel, Michel Pleimling

The persistence probability P g ( t ) of the global order parameter of a simple ferromagnet undergoing phase ordering kinetics after a quench from a fully disordered state to below the critical temperature, T < T c , is analysed. It is argued that the persistence probability decays algebraically with time in the entire low-temperature phase. For Markov processes, the associated global persistence exponent θ g = (2λ C − d )/(2 z ) is related to the autocorrelation exponent λ C . This relationship is confirmed for phase ordering in the exactly solved 1D Ising model and the d -dimensional spherical model. For the 2D Glauber–Ising model, the temperature-independent estimate θ g = 0.063(2) indicates that the dynamics of the global order parameter is described by a non-Markovian process.

Dynamical scaling study for the estimation of dynamical exponent $z$ of three-dimensional XY spin glass model

Yusuke Terasawa, Yukiyasu Ozeki

To analyze the $\pm J$ XY spin-glass in three dimensions, we verified a method aimed at obtaining a high-precision dynamical exponent $z$ from the correlation length in the nonequilibrium relaxation process. The obtained $z$ yielded consistent and highly accurate results in previous studies for relatively well-studied models---specifically, the three-dimensional (3D) ferromagnetic Ising model and the 3D $\pm J$ Ising model. Building on these previous studies, we used this method and the dynamical scaling method to analyze the 3D $\pm J$ XY model and obtained highly precise critical temperatures and exponents. The estimated transition temperatures satisfy $T_{\mathrm{SG}}

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.
