Phase transitions in the kinetic Ising model with competing dynamics

Abstract

We study the nonequilibrium phase diagram and critical properties of a two-dimensional kinetic Ising model with competing Glauber and Kawasaki dynamics suggested by Tome and de Oliveira [Phys. Rev. A 40, 6643 (1989)]. The role of the Kawasaki dynamics, chosen with probability 1-p, is to simulate a permanent energy flux into the system. The theoretical prediction for the phase diagram is improved significantly by using four- and six-point dynamical mean-field approximations. Monte Carlo simulations support that the ferromagnetic-paramagnetic phase transition changes from second to first order for sufficiently small p. The antiferromagnetic phase is found to be stable for a nonzero value of p even at T=0.

Monte Carlo simulation of an antiferromagnetic Ising model at two competing temperatures

B. C. S. Grandi, W. Figueiredo

We consider a two-dimensional antiferromagnet Ising system interacting with a heat bath at temperature T. The dynamics of the system is simulated by two competing stochastic processes: the two-spin-exchange Kawasaki kinetics at temperature T>0 and the one-spin-flip Glauber dynamics at T(G)-->0(-), which mimics the increase of the energy of the system. These two processes have probabilities 1-p and p, respectively. Monte Carlo simulations were employed to determine the phase diagram for the stationary states of the model and the corresponding critical exponents. Contrary to the ferromagnetic case, the phase diagram obtained does not exhibit the phenomenon of self-organization: for any nonzero value of the competing parameter p, and for any value of T, the only stationary phase which remains is the ferromagnetic one. At the phase transition between the antiferromagnetic and paramagnetic phases, at p=0, the values found for the critical exponents agree with those of the corresponding equilibrium Ising model.

Dynamical critical exponent of a nonequilibrium Ising model

B. C. S. Grandi, W. Figueiredo

The dynamical critical exponent z of the two-dimensional Ising model with competing Glauber and Kawasaki processes is evaluated by Monte Carlo simulations. This model exhibits the phenomenon of self-organization when the Kawasaki dynamics is the dominant one. We have calculated the exponent z as a function of the parameter that controls the competition between the two processes. Our calculations are performed at the phase boundary that separates the nonequilibrium ordered and disordered phases. The values of z we obtain are around z=2 for all values of the competing parameter. When the Glauber dynamics is the only one present the value of z is in agreement with most recent calculations. \textcopyright{} 1996 The American Physical Society.

Critical exponents of the Ising model with competing Glauber and Kawasaki dynamics

B. C. S. Grandi, W. Figueiredo

The two-dimensional Ising model with competing Glauber and Kawasaki dynamics is studied by Monte Carlo simulations. We show that the model exhibits the phenomenon of self-organization when the Kawasaki dynamics is the dominant one. For this model we show that the values of the critical exponents calculated at the stationary states are in accordance with the exact ones known for the equilibrium Ising model. These results give support to the idea that the equilibrium and nonequilibrium Ising models, which exhibit up-down symmetry, belong to the same universality class. \textcopyright{} 1996 The American Physical Society.

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.

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.

Non-equilibrium phase transitions in one-dimensional kinetic Ising models

Nóra Menyhárd, Géza Ódor

A family of nonequilibrium kinetic Ising models, introduced earlier, evolving under the competing effect of spin flips at zero temperature and nearest-neighbour random spin exchanges, is further investigated. By increasing the range of spin exchanges and/or their strength the nature of the phase transition 'Ising-to-active' becomes of (dynamic) mean-field type and a first-order tricritical point is located at the Glauber ( delta =0) limit. Corrections to the mean-field theory are evaluated up to sixth order in a cluster approximation and found to give good results concerning the phase boundary and the critical exponent beta of the order parameter which is obtained as beta approximately=1.0.
