Physics of the dynamical critical exponent in one dimension

Abstract

The value of the dynamical critical exponent $z$ is calculated for various one-dimensional kinetic Ising models using simple physical arguments. The values agree with all known exact results and with the lower bounds obtained by Haake and Thol.

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.

Dynamic Monte Carlo Renormalization Group

Jan Tobochnik, Sanjoy Kumar Sarker, Robert Cordery

A novel dynamic Monte Carlo renormalization-group method is devised. Application to the kinetic Ising model in one dimension yields a value of $z$, the dynamic critical exponent, which is in excellent agreement with the exact result. In two dimensions we find $z=2.22\ifmmode\pm\else\textpm\fi{}0.13$ with the most probable value $z=2.17$.

Migdal-type renormalization-group calculation for the kinetic Ising model

S. T. Chui, Gabor Forgács, H. L. Frisch

We make use of the calculation of Achiam and Kosterlitz and investigate the generalization of the Migdal-type renormalization-group calculation to critical dynamics, by looking at the one- and two-dimensional kinetic Ising model with no conserved magnetization. In the two-dimensional case the dynamical critical index ${Z}_{M}(\mathrm{magnetic}\mathrm{perturbation})=2.064$ and ${Z}_{E}(\mathrm{energylike}\mathrm{perturbation})=1.819$ for scale factor $\ensuremath{\lambda}=1$. ${Z}_{M}$ involves the static $\frac{\ensuremath{\beta}}{\ensuremath{\nu}}$ exponent, while ${Z}_{E}$ involves $\frac{1}{\ensuremath{\nu}}$, and therefore, it is not surprising that ${Z}_{M}$ is closer to the high-temperature expansion results, since $\frac{\ensuremath{\beta}}{\ensuremath{\nu}}$ in the Migdal approximation for statics is much closer to the exact value than $\frac{1}{\ensuremath{\nu}}$. In one dimension we obtain ${Z}_{M}={Z}_{E}=2$, which is the exact result of Glauber.

Simple physical arguments about the movement of domain walls are used to determine the dependence of the dynamical critical exponent z on the transition rates for the one-dimensional q-state Potts model.

Accurate Estimation of the Dynamical Critical Exponent of the Two-Dimensional Kinetic Ising Model Based on the Ising Machinem-TIS

Nobuyasu Ito, Makoto Taiji, Masuo Suzuki

The dynamical critical exponent, z , of the two-dimensional kinetic Ising model is estimated by the Monte Carlo method using finite-size scaling. The Monte Carlo simulalion is performed on a special-purpose computer system, m -TIS, designed and constructed by the present authors. The obtained value of z is 2.132±0.008. This result supports the conjecture by Racz and Collins that z is equal to 17/8 in the two-dimensional kinetic Ising model (Racz and Collins; Rhys. Rev. B 13 (1976) 3074).

Dynamics of the one-dimensional Potts model

P. O. Weir, J. Michael Kosterlitz

We consider the q-state Potts model in one dimension for the cases q${=2}^{m}$, m=1,2,3,. . . . The dynamical critical exponent is calculated with use of the real-space renormalization-group method. We find z=2 in the 4- and 8-state models, which agrees with the Ising case, and speculate that this generalizes to any m.
