Dynamic phase transition in the kinetic Ising model under a time-dependent oscillating field

Abstract

We analyze within a mean-field approach the stationary states of the kinetic Ising model described by the Glauber stochastic dynamics and subject to a time-dependent oscillating external field. We have found that the magnetization of the system oscillates in time around a certain value that is zero at high temperatures or large field amplitudes and nonzero at low temperatures and small field amplitudes. The transition from one regime to the other, which corresponds to a spontaneous symmetry breaking, is found to be continuous for sufficiently small values of the field amplitudes. For higher values the transition becomes discontinuous and the system exhibits a dynamical tricritical point.

Dynamic phase transition in the kinetic spin-1 Blume-Capel model: Phase diagrams in the temperature and crystal-field interaction plane

M. Keskin, O. Canko, Ümüt Temizer

Within a mean-field approach, the stationary states of the kinetic spin-1 Blume-Capel model in the presence of a time-dependent oscillating external magnetic field is studied. The Glauber-type stochastic dynamics is used to describe the time evolution of the system and obtain the mean-field dynamic equation of motion. The dynamic phase-transition points are calculated and phase diagrams are presented in the temperature and crystal-field interaction plane. According to the values of the magnetic field amplitude, three fundamental types of phase diagrams are found: One exhibits a dynamic tricritical point, while the other two exhibit a dynamic zero-temperature critical point.

Dynamical phase diagram of a metamagnetic model subject to an oscillating magnetic field

M. Santos, W. Figueiredo

We investigated the dynamical behavior of an Ising model in a square lattice subject to a time-dependent external magnetic field. In our model the exchange coupling between first neighboring spins in the horizontal direction is different from that of the vertical direction. We have employed the master equation approach for the Glauber stochastic process and used the dynamical pair approximation in order to decouple the hierarchy of equations. We have found the stationary phase diagram for this model in the plane amplitude of the oscillating field versus temperature, for different values of the frequency of the external field and of the ratio between the vertical and the horizontal couplings. Depending on these values, the phase diagram can exhibit the ferromagnetic, paramagnetic, and antiferromagnetic phases. The transition between these phases can be continuous or discontinuous, and the model may also display a tricritical behavior.

Ising model in an oscillating magnetic field: Mean-field theory

Michael F. Zimmer

I consider the dynamics of a soft-spin Ising magnet, subject to the time-varying external magnetic field h(t)=h cos\ensuremath{\Omega}t. The system is modeled with a time-dependent Ginzburg-Landau equation and is studied at a mean-field level. The time-averaged magnetization (scrM) acts as the order parameter and divides the temperature-h plane into two phases. In contrast to a previous result that predicted a dynamical tricritical point separating a line of continuous and discontinuous transitions in scrM, I find that the transition is always continuous. The previous work utilized Glauber dynamics which, it is here argued, becomes inapplicable near the phase boundary line due to a critical slowing down.

Nonequilibrium dynamic phase transition in a kinetic Ising spin system

Shao Yuan-Zhi, Zhong Wei-Rong, Lu Hua-Quan +2 more

We studied within the framework of a mean-field approach the nonequilibrium dyn amic phase transition of a kinetic Ising spin system subject to a perturbative f ield and temperature simultaneously by comparison between time-dependent Ginzbur g-Landau and Glauber dynamics models. The dynamic phase transition (DPT) boundar ies, separating a symmetry-breaking dynamic ordered phase from its symmetric dyn amic disordered counterpart, were identified through a systematic simulation of the above two models. The dependence of the dynamic order parameter Q and the fo urth order cumulant ratio U upon the temperature t(r0), the frequency ω and amplitude h0 of driving field were also investigated in detai l. A discussion was presented concerning the current controversies on whether bo th a discontinuous dynamic phase transition occurs possibly below a specific low temperature and a tri-critical point exists on the DPT boundary in a kinetic Is ing spin system.

Dynamic phase transitions in the kinetic mixed spin-1/2 and spin-5/2 Ising model under a time-dependent oscillating magnetic field

Bayram Deviren, Mustafa Keskín, Osman Canko

We calculate the dynamic phase transition (DPT) temperatures and present the dynamic phase diagrams in the kinetic mixed spin-1/2 and spin-5/2 Ising model under the presence of a time-dependent oscillating external magnetic field. We employ the Glauber transition rates to construct the set of mean-field dynamic equations. The time variation of the average magnetizations and the thermal behavior of the dynamic magnetizations are investigated, extensively. The nature (continuous or discontinuous) of the transitions is characterized by studying the thermal behaviors of the dynamic magnetizations. The DPT points are obtained and the phase diagrams are presented in two different planes. Phase diagrams contain four fundamental phases and three coexistence or mixed phases, which strongly depend on interaction parameters. The phase diagrams are discussed and a comparison is made with the results of the other mixed spin Ising systems.

Dynamic phase transition in the kinetic spin-5/2 Blume–Emery–Griffiths model in an oscillating external magnetic field

Mustafa Keskín, Mehmet Ertaş

Employing a mean-field approach, we study the stationary states of the kinetic spin-5/2 Blume–Emery–Griffiths (BEG) model under the presence of a time-varying (sinusoidal) magnetic field by using the Glauber-type stochastic dynamics. We employ the Glauber transition rates to construct the set of dynamic mean-field equations. We investigate the time variation in average order parameters to find the phases in the system, and the thermal behavior of the dynamic order parameters to characterize the nature (continuous or discontinuous) of the dynamic phase transtions and to the dynamic phase transition temperature. The dynamic phase diagrams are presented in three different planes. The phase diagrams contain the ferromagnetic-5/2, the ferromagnetic-3/2, the ferromagnetic-1/2, the ferroquadrupolar, and disordered fundamental phases. They also include the nine coexisting or mixed phases composed of binary and ternary combinations of fundamental phases that strongly depend on the interaction parameters. The phase diagrams display the critical end point, double critical end point, triple point, quadruple point, and one, two, or three special points and the dynamic tricritical point that depends on the interaction parameters.
