Published May 1, 1992• 10 citations

Abstract

We report first-order mean-field results for nonequilibrium random-exchange lattice systems, namely, Ising-like models whose kinetics involve a simultaneous, random competition between ferromagnetic and antiferromagnetic interactions that generally induces nonequilibrium steady states. We consider the competition between symmetric bonds. \ifmmode\pm\else\textpm\fi{}${\mathit{J}}_{0}$, symmetric bonds competing with broken ones, \ifmmode\pm\else\textpm\fi{}${\mathit{J}}_{0}$ and J=0, nonsymmetric bonds, \ensuremath{\Vert}${\mathit{J}}_{1}$\ensuremath{\Vert} and -\ensuremath{\Vert}${\mathit{J}}_{2}$\ensuremath{\Vert}, and some of those systems under an external magnetic field h. The time evolution and steady-state properties, including phase diagrams, are obtained for several lattice coordination numbers, e.g., the case of simple-cubic lattices of dimension d\ensuremath{\le}3. A comparison is made with existing exact results for d=1, h=0, and \ifmmode\pm\else\textpm\fi{}${\mathit{J}}_{0}$.

Nonequilibrium phase transitions in lattice systems with random-field competing kinetics

A. I. López-Lacomba, Joaquín Marro

We study a class of lattice interacting-spin systems evolving stochastically under the simultaneous operation of several spin-flip mechanisms, each acting independently and responding to a different applied magnetic field. This induces an extra randomness which may occur in real systems, e.g., a magnetic system under the action of a field varying with a much shorter period than the mean time between successive transitions. Such a situation--in which one may say in some sense that frustration has a dynamical origin-- may also be viewed as a nonequilibrium version of the random-field Ising model. By following a method of investigating stationary probability distributions in systems with competing kinetics [P. L. Garrido and J. Marro, Phys. Rev. Lett. 62, 1929 (1989)], we solve one-dimensional lattices supporting different field distributions and transition rates for the elementary kinetical processes, thus revealing a rich variety of phase transitions and critical phenomena. Some exact results for lattices of arbitrary dimension, and comparisons with the standard quenched and annealed random-field models, and with a nonequilibrium diluted antiferromagnetic system, are also reported.We study a class of lattice interacting-spin systems evolving stochastically under the simultaneous operation of several spin-flip mechanisms, each acting independently and responding to a different applied magnetic field.

First-order phase transition in a 2D random-field Ising model with conflicting dynamics

Nuno Crokidakis

The effects of locally random magnetic fields are considered in a nonequilibrium Ising model defined on a square lattice with nearest-neighbor interactions. In order to generate the random magnetic fields, we have considered random variables { h } that change randomly with time according to a double-Gaussian probability distribution, which consists of two single-Gaussian distributions, centered at + h o and − h o , with the same width σ. This distribution is very general and can recover in appropriate limits the bimodal distribution ( ) and the single-Gaussian one ( h o = 0). We performed Monte Carlo simulations in lattices with linear sizes in the range L = 32–512. The system exhibits ferromagnetic and paramagnetic steady states. Our results suggest the occurrence of first-order phase transitions between the above-mentioned phases at low temperatures and large random-field intensities h o for some small values of the width σ. By means of finite size scaling, we estimate the critical exponents in the low-field region, where we have continuous phase transitions. In addition, we show a sketch of the phase diagram of the model for some values of σ.The effects of locally random magnetic fields are considered in a nonequilibrium Ising model defined on a square lattice with nearest-neighbor interactions.

Nonequilibrium kinetic Ising models: phase transitions and universality classes in one dimension

Nóra Menyhárd, Géza Ódor

Nonequilibrium kinetic Ising models evolving under the competing effect of spin flips at zero temperature and Kawasaki-type spin-exchange kinetics at infinite temperature T are investigated here in one dimension from the point of view of phase transition and critical behaviour. Branching annihilating random walks with an even number of offspring (on the part of the ferromagnetic domain boundaries), is a decisive process in forming the steady state of the system for a range of parameters, in the family of models considered. A wide variety of quantities characterize the critical behaviour of the system. Results of computer simulations and of a generalized mean field theory are presented and discussed.Nonequilibrium kinetic Ising models evolving under the competing effect of spin flips at zero temperature and Kawasaki-type spin-exchange kinetics at infinite temperature T are investigated here in one dimension from the point of view of phase transition and critical behaviour.

The effects of locally random magnetic fields are considered in a nonequilibrium Ising model defined on a square lattice with nearest-neighbors interactions. In order to generate the random magnetic fields, we have considered random variables {h} that change randomly with time according to a double-gaussian probability distribution, which consists of two single gaussian distributions, centered at +ho and −ho, with the same width σ. This distribution is very general, and can recover in appropriate limits the bimodal distribution (σ → 0) and the single gaussian one (ho = 0). We performed Monte Carlo simulations in lattices with linear sizes in the range L = 32 − 512. The system exhibits ferromagnetic and paramagnetic steady states. Our results suggest the occurence of first-order phase transitions between the above-mentioned phases at low temperatures and large random-field intensities ho, for some small values of the width σ. By means of finite size scaling, we estimate the critical exponents in the low-field region, where we have continuous phase transitions.

Magnetization in a quenched random-bond transverse Ising model with competing interactions

Enaldo F. Sarmento, R. B. Muniz, Solange Bessa Cavalcanti

The ferromagnetic-phase stability limit and magnetization of a quenched bond-mixed spin-1/2 transverse Ising model in an anisotropic simple square lattice are studied within the framework of an effective-field theory considering both competing and noncompeting interactions. In the bond-disordered case, where bonds ${J}_{1}$ and ${J}_{2}$ occur with probabilities 1-p and p, respectively, critical curves are obtained for various \ensuremath{\alpha}'s (\ensuremath{\alpha}\ensuremath{\equiv} ${J}_{1}$ / ${J}_{2}$ ), and the critical bond concentrations ${p}_{c}$ at which the ferromagnetic phase breaks down are determined. As \ensuremath{\alpha}\ensuremath{\rightarrow}0, the mixed model reduces to the diluted Ising model and the results obtained are compared to those available in the literature. The effect of the transverse field (for different \ensuremath{\alpha}'s) in the thermal behavior of the magnetization as a function of the concentration is also discussed.The ferromagnetic-phase stability limit and magnetization of a quenched bond-mixed spin-1/2 transverse Ising model in an anisotropic simple square lattice are studied within the framework of an effective-field theory considering both competing and noncompeting interactions.

Phase transitions in a three-dimensional kinetic spin-1/2 Ising model with random field: Effective-field-theory study

Emanuel Costabile, J. Ricardo de Sousa

The dynamical phase transitions of the kinetic Ising model in the presence of a random magnetic field with a bimodal probability distribution is studied by using effective-field theory (EFT) with correlations. We have used a Glauber-type stochastic dynamic to describe the time evolution of the system, where the system strongly depends on the H≡√<H(i)(2)>(c) root mean square deviation of the magnetic field. The EFT dynamic equation is given for the simple cubic lattice (z=6), and the dynamic order parameter is calculated. The system presents ferromagnetic and paramagnetic states for low and high temperatures, respectively. Our results predict first-order transitions at low temperatures and large disorder strengths, which corresponds to the existence of a nonequilibrium tricritical point (TCP) in a phase diagram in the T-H plane. We compare the results with the equilibrium phase diagram, where only the first-order line is different. Our qualitative results are compatible with recent Monte Carlo simulations.The dynamical phase transitions of the kinetic Ising model in the presence of a random magnetic field with a bimodal probability distribution is studied by using effective-field theory (EFT) with correlations.
