Revisiting Kawasaki dynamics in one dimension

Abstract

Critical exponents of the Kawasaki dynamics in the Ising chain are re-examined numerically through the spectrum gap of evolution operators constructed both in spin and domain-wall representations. At low-temperature regimes the latter provides a rapid finite-size convergence to these exponents, which tend to z ≃ 3.11 for instant quenches under ferromagnetic couplings, while approaching to z ≃ 2 in the antiferro case. The spin representation complements the evaluation of dynamic exponents at higher temperature scales, where the kinetics still remains slow.

Metastable and scaling regimes of one-dimensional Kawasaki dynamics

F. A. Gómez Albarracín, H. D. Rosales, Marcelo D. Grynberg

We investigate the large-time scaling regimes arising from a variety of metastable structures in a chain of Ising spins with both first- and second-neighbor couplings while subject to Kawasaki dynamics. Depending on the ratio and sign of these former, different dynamic exponents are suggested by finite-size scaling analyses of relaxation times. At low but nonzero temperatures these are calculated via exact diagonalizations of the evolution operator in finite chains under several activation barriers. In the absence of metastability the dynamics is always diffusive.

Nonuniversal critical behaviour in the 1D BEG model with Kawasaki dynamics

José F. F. Mendes, Stephen J. Cornell, Michel Droz +1 more

The authors investigate the one-dimensional Blume-Emery-Griffiths model with Kawasaki dynamics, using domain-wall arguments (DWA) and Monte Carlo simulations (MCS) (conventional and Gillespie algorithm), after a quench from a disordered state to low temperatures. They observe that this model exhibits domain scaling behaviour, controlled by a universal exponent (x=1/3) as in other dimensions for model B. However, they find also that the critical exponent z is not universal and depends on the coupling constants of the Hamiltonian. The results of DWA are consistent with those of MCS.

Non-equilibrium critical dynamics of the ferromagnetic Ising model with Kawasaki dynamics

Claude Godrèche, Florent Krzaka a, Federico Ricci‐Tersenghi

We investigate the temporal evolution of a ferromagnetic system of Ising spins evolving under Kawasaki dynamics from a random initial condition, in spatial dimensions one and two. We examine in detail the asymptotic behaviour of the two-time correlation and response functions. The linear response is measured without applying a field, using a recently proposed algorithm. For the chain at vanishingly small temperature, we introduce an accelerated dynamics which has the virtue of projecting the system into the asymptotic scaling regime. This allows us to revisit critically previous works on the behaviour at large time of the two-time autocorrelation and response functions. We also analyse the case of the two-dimensional system at criticality. A comparison with Glauber dynamics is performed in both dimensionalities, in order to underline the similarities and differences in the phenomenology of the two dynamics.

Nonuniversal critical dynamics of the alternating-bond Ising chain: Relaxational and diffusive kinetics

James H. Luscombe

Nonuniversal dynamic critical exponents are obtained for both the Glauber and Kawasaki dynamics of the Ising chain with alternating near-neighbor interactions, ${J}_{1}$, ${J}_{2}$, with the exponents related to the ratio of the two interaction strengths. We expand upon the recent work of Droz et al. [Phys. Lett. 115A, 448 (1986)] for the ferromagnetic system (${J}_{1}$>0,${J}_{2}$>0). For Glauber (spin-flip) dynamics we obtain the exact exponent z=1+\ensuremath{\rho} (\ensuremath{\rho}\ensuremath{\equiv}\ensuremath{\Vert}${J}_{1}$/${J}_{2}$\ensuremath{\Vert}) which generalizes the result of Droz et al. and is valid irrespective of the signs of ${J}_{1}$ and ${J}_{2}$, where it is assumed that \ensuremath{\Vert}${J}_{1}$\ensuremath{\Vert}>\ensuremath{\Vert}${J}_{2}$\ensuremath{\Vert} (\ensuremath{\rho}\ensuremath{\ge}1). For Kawasaki (spin-exchange) dynamics, we obtain dynamic critical exponents from conventional theory which provides a rigorous lower bound for the exponent z. For the case of the conserved (ferromagnetic) order parameter, however, we present arguments that the conventional exponent is exact. We obtain z=4+\ensuremath{\rho} in this case. For ${J}_{1}$>0,${J}_{2}$0 we derive the conventional exponent z=1+\ensuremath{\rho}, whereas for ${J}_{1}$0 we find z=2 irrespective of ${J}_{2}$. A key aspect of this system is the narrowing of the dynamic critical region as compared with the isotropic system (${J}_{1}$=${J}_{2}$). The extra bond periodicity splits the isotropic order parameter into components such that only comparatively closer to criticality does the order parameter become the dominant slow mode. The nonuniversal critical dynamics is intrinsically linked to the nonuniform bond distribution, being shown to arise from a kinetic coefficient which vanishes with a nonuniversal critical exponent. Nonuniversality of the dynamic exponent for Ising systems with inhomogeneous couplings is argued to be specific to zero-temperature critical points.

Finite-size calculations for the kinetic Ising model

Rahul Anil Pandit, Gabor Forgács, Pál Ruján

Using a Hamiltonian formulation of the master equation, we carry out finite-size calculations for the dynamical critical exponent $z$ of the kinetic Ising model in one and two dimensions. In one dimension, different appropriately normalized transition probabilities give different values for $z$; this result is based on both exact and finite-size calculations. We show that this "nonuniversal" behavior is due to the fact that the critical temperature for the one-dimensional Ising model is zero. In two dimensions we combine our finite-size calculations with finite-size scaling theory to calculate $z$. Even in this case we find that $z$ depends on the form of the transition probability---a result that contradicts the universality hypothesis for dynamical critical behavior. We discuss the possible reasons for this contradiction.

Kawasaki dynamics in the Ising chain: a renormalisation group treatment

J M Nunes da Silva, Eduardo Lage

Real-space renormalisation group techniques are applied to obtain the critical dynamic behaviour of the Ising linear chain, subjected to Kawasaki dynamics. The critical dynamic exponent is found to be z=5 and z=2, respectively, for ferromagnetic and antiferromagnetic nearest-neighbour interactions. The authors also show that a small admixture of Glauber dynamics will lead to the non-conserved behaviour (z=2).
