First-order approximation for the time-dependent Ising model

Abstract

Bethe's method of equilibrium statistical mechanics is generalized to treat Glauber's time-dependent Ising models in two and three dimensions. This constitutes the first-order approximation which improves the mean-field theory (the zeroth-order approximation) by incorporating specific short-range correlations into the distribution function. We first calculate the single-spin expectation value. Although the dynamic equation may need to be solved by using a numerical method, its approximate solution in the pretransitional region can be studied in detail. We then calculate the two-spin correlation function. This requires yet another extension of Bethe's method. Again approximate solutions can be obtained in the pretransitional region. Our results for the static pair correlation functions are equivalent to that of Elliott and Marshall, but our derivation is simpler. We also calculate the time-dependent correlation function for the magnetization, and reproduce the fluctuation-dissipation relation.

Time-Dependent Statistics of the Ising Model in a Magnetic Field

Huey Wen Huang

It is of interest to solve the master equation of a one-dimensional Ising model in a magnetic field (Glauber's equation) not only as a mathematical problem, but also for some practical applications. While an exact treatment of Glauber's equation seems impossible, we consider its approximate solutions. We review the applications of the perturbation-expansion method and applications of the mean-field theory to this problem. We also introduce a local-equilibrium method that improves the mean-field theory by taking the short-range correlation into account. The new method yields an analytically soluble differential equation, which, contrary to the preceding two methods, has an exact steady-state solution.

Time-Dependent Spin-Correlation Function in Ferromagnet and Antiferromagnet

Takehiko Oguchi, Ikuo Ono

A statistical theory of the localized model of ferromagnetism is developed by considering the effective density matrices for a single spin, and two nearest-neighbor spins, respectively. The Ising Model and the Heisenberg model, and even the case of the anisotropic exchange interaction, are treated within a unified mathematical scheme. The result is reduced to that of the Bethe approximation in the case of the Ising model, and the constant coupling approximation in the case of the Heisenberg model. The method is generalized to calculate the static spin-correlation function. It is obtained in Ornstein-Zernike type. In the nonequilibrium state, the expectation value of the spin decays by the homogeneous damping as well as the spin-diffusion process. This relaxation equation is different from that by Van Hove because of the existence of the homogeneous damping. The diffusion constant does not vanish even at the Curie point TC, contrary to Van Hove's result, although the damping constant vanishes at TC. The latter fact causes the critical slowing down of the regression of fluctuation. The solution of this relaxation equation gives the time-dependent spin-correlation function. The method can be applied to the antiferromagnetic case, too.

SOME DYNAMICAL PROPERTIES OF THE ISING FERROMAGNET

Noboru Matsudaira

Time-dependent statistics of the Ising model proposed by Glauber for the one-dimensional chain are extended to the example of a two-dimensional square lattice. Each spin is assumed to change its state through the interaction with a heat bath. The equations of motion for both the single spin and the spin correlation functions are solved approximately by using a decoupling procedure where the many-body correlation functions are taken as sums of products of pair correlation functions. As a special case, our theory allows the approximate calculation of the equilibrium properties of the system and it turns out that, in this case, our result is an improvement over the Bethe approximation. Both the frequency-dependent magnetic susceptibility and the decay of the magnetic moment to the equilibrium state are calculated above and below the Curie temperature. The fluctuation–dissipation theorem developed by Glauber for the linear chain is shown to hold in the two-dimensional case also.

Analysis of the finite-size effect of the long-range Ising model under Glauber dynamics

Hisato Komatsu

Abstract We considered a long-range Ising model under Glauber dynamics and calculated the difference from the mean-field approximation in a finite-size system using perturbation theory. To deal with the Bogoliubov–Born–Green–Kirkwood–Yvon hierarchy, we assumed that certain types of extensive properties have a Gaussian distribution, which turned out to be equivalent to the Kirkwood superposition approximation within the range of first-order perturbation. After several calculations, ordinary differential equations that describe the time development of a two-body correlation were derived. This discussion is the generalization of our previous study which developed a similar consideration on the infinite-range Ising model. The results of the calculation fit those of the numerical simulations for the case in which the decay of the interaction was sufficiently slow; however, they exhibited different behaviors when the decay became rapid.

Correlation Function Approach to Short-Range Order in the Ising-Model

Rainer J. Jelitto

Abstract By pushing forward the decoupling from the three-to the four-point correlation function short-range order is systematically introduced into the description of the statistical behaviour of the Ising-model. Application of a procedure which is a natural generalization of that invented by Bogoljubov and Tjablikov for the Heisenberg-model, leads to an overall-approximation for the magnetization and the nearest-neighbour correlation which may be compared with the Ising-model variant of Oguchi's two-spin-cluster molecular field theory. The results of both approximations are very similar both for low and high temperatures, but for the transition point the new approach yields values which lie considerably lower and therefore are more reliable than those following from Oguchi's theory. Moreover, the comparison with a slight modification of the theory which is also presented in this paper, illuminates the physical mechanism which is responsible for the formation of correlations within the order of approximation, considered.

Time-Dependent Ising Model with Long Range Interaction

Kyozi Kawasaki, 知司 山田

A systematic method is developed for studying the time-dependent Ising model proposed by Glauber and extended by others. The graphical technique developed for the equilibrium statistical mechanics has been found to be useful in this nonequilibrium problem as well with some modifications. A hierarchy of equations linking various spin cluster functions is obtained. If we choose as the expansion parameter the reciprocal range of the spin interaction which is taken to be of Kac's type, the hierarchy is terminated, and closed sets of nonlinear kinetic equations satisfied by spin cluster functions follow. The dynamical susceptibility is studied using the hierachy, and the polydispersive nature of the spin relaxation is found to be closely connected to the deviation of the spin pair correlation from the Ornstein-Zernike form via multi-spin cluster functions. A sum rule on the distribution of relaxation times is found, which provides a precise expression for the critical slowing-down at the Curie point. The closed set of kinetic equations involving at most three spin cluster functions is used to evaluate explicitly the approximate dynamical susceptibility above the Curie point, and the characteristic time-scale of the polydispersive relaxation is found to increase indefinitely near the Curie point.
