Bicritical scaling and dynamic crossover in the bond-diluted Glauber Ising chain
C K Harris
Abstract
The author presents an investigation of the dynamic critical behaviour near the percolation bicritical point of the 1D bond-diluted Glauber Ising model. The expected bicritical dynamic scaling form is rigorously established for the decay functions describing the decay of the equilibrium wavevector-dependent correlation function and the decay of the magnetisation from a (non-equilibrium) wavevector-dependent initial state. The corresponding characteristic decay times are evaluated exactly and exhibit a cross over from 'pure' to percolation dominated behaviour on increasing the dilution. The results in the percolation regime are in agreement with recent calculations in which domain boundary diffusion methods are applied to a wider class of kinetic Ising models.
