Propagation of ultrasound near the phase transition in Ising systems

A. Pawlak

Published Oct 30, 1989• 12 citations
Publisher

Abstract

The effects of order-parameter strain coupling on the critical (tricritical) sound attenuation and dispersion are studied above T c in the elastically isotropic Ising model. Under free boundary conditions a cross-over in the behaviour of acoustic quantities to a 'strong-coupling' regime is predicted. New scaling relations for the critical attenuation and dispersion are obtained and the corresponding scaling functions are calculated using an ε-expansion. Non-asymptotic effects are also discussed.

Nonasymptotic Effects in Critical Sound Propagation Associated with Spin-Lattice Relaxation

A. Pawlak

The nonasymptotic critical behavior of sound attenuation coefficient has been studied in an elastically isotropic Ising system above the critical point on the basis of a complete stochastic model including both spin-energy and lattice-energy modes linearly coupled to the longitudinal sound mode. The effect of spin-lattice relaxation on the ultrasonic attenuation is investigated. The crossover between weak-singularity behavior $t^{-2 α}$ and strong singularity behavior $t^{-(z ν+α)}$ is studied. A new high-frequency regime with singularity of the type $t^{-z ν+α}$ is discovered in the magnetic systems. This new regime corresponds to an adiabatic sound propagation and is very similar to the ones in binary mixture and liquid helium. A new frequency-dependent specific-heat being the harmonic average of the bare lattice and critical spin specific-heats is introduced. It was shown that such specific-heat descibes the process of equilibrization between spin and lattice subsystems and includes the most important features of critical sound attenuation. In some regions of coupling constants the acoustic self-energy can be very well approximated solely by this quantity.

Influence of long-range correlated defects on critical ultrasound propagation in solids

Pavel Vladimirovich Prudnikov, Vladimir V. Prudnikov

The effect of long-range correlated quenched structural defects on the critical ultrasound attenuation and sound velocity dispersion is studied for three-dimensional Ising-like systems. A field-theoretical description of the dynamic critical effects of ultrasound propagation in solids is performed with allowance for both fluctuation and relaxation attenuation mechanisms. The temperature and frequency dependences of the dynamical scaling functions of the ultrasound critical characteristics are calculated in a two-loop approximation for different values of the correlation parameter $a$ of the Weinrib-Halperin model with long-range correlated defects. The asymptotic behavior of the dynamical scaling functions in hydrodynamic and critical regions is separated. The influence of long-range correlated disorder on the asymptotic behavior of the critical ultrasonic anomalies is discussed.

Critical behaviors of the sound attenuation in a spin-1 Ising model

Mustafa Keskín, Rıza Erdem

Critical behaviors of the sound attenuation in a spin-1 Ising system with bilinear (J) and biquadratic (K) interactions are investigated within the framework of cluster variation method and Onsager theory of irreversible thermodynamics. The sound wave is assumed to couple mainly to the order parameter fluctuations which decay via order parameter relaxation processes. Two relaxation times are obtained and an expression is found for the sound attenuation coefficient (α) in terms of these relaxation times. The temperature behavior of the sound attenuation near the phase transition temperatures (Tc) is analyzed according to various values of Onsager coefficients (γij) and sound frequency (ω). For T<Tc it is found that the maxima of the attenuation shifted to lower temperatures with increasing ω and γij (i≠j) values. For T>Tc the data give evidence that there is no relaxational contribution to sound attenuation coming from order parameter fluctuations. On the other hand, a convergence is found in attenuation just below the critical and the tricritical points as (Tc−T), while a jump-discontinuity is observed for the first-order behavior. The frequency variation of the sound attenuation is also investigated and in addition to ω2-attenuation dependence observed in the hydrodynamic regime it is observed that in the high frequency region the attenuation is independent of ω and the ratio of two interaction parameters (J/K).
