Short-time dynamics of a metamagnetic model
M. Santos, W. Figueiredo
Abstract
We studied a layered metamagnetic Ising model with competing ferromagnetic and antiferromagnetic interactions on a square lattice. The model is formed of ferromagnetic chains coupled by an antiferromagnetic interaction. Using Monte Carlo simulations we have determined the phase diagram of the model, which exhibits a tricritical point. By exploring the short-time scaling dynamics, we have found the dynamic and static critical exponents along the continuous transition line between the antiferromagnetic and paramagnetic phases.
