Dynamic finite-size scaling at first-order transitions

Andrea Pelissetto C, Ettore Vicari

We investigate the dynamic behavior of finite-size systems close to a first-order transition (FOT). We develop a dynamic finite-size scaling (DFSS) theory for the dynamic behavior in the coexistence region where different phases coexist. This is characterized by an exponentially large time scale related to the tunneling between the two phases. We show that, when considering time scales of the order of the tunneling time, the dynamic behavior can be described by a two-state coarse-grained dynamics. This allows us to obtain exact predictions for the dynamical scaling functions. To test the general DFSS theory at FOTs, we consider the two-dimensional Ising model in the low-temperature phase, where the external magnetic field drives a FOT, and the 20-state Potts model, which undergoes a thermal FOT. Numerical results for a purely relaxational dynamics fully confirm the general theory.

Phase Transitions in the Two-Dimensional Slightly Diluted Five-Vertex Potts Model

Akai Kurbanovich Murtazaev, Albert Babaevich Babaev, G. Ya. Ataeva

Abstract Phase transitions in the two-dimensional slightly diluted Potts model on a square lattice at q = 5 have been studied using the computer simulation method. The systems with linear sizes L × L = N, L = 10–120 are considered. It is shown based on the forth-order Binder cumulants and using the histogram analysis of the data that the introduction of nonmagnetic impurities to a spin system described by the two-dimensional Potts model with q = 5 leads to a change of the first-order phase transition to a second-order phase transition.

Phase transitions in the two-dimensional antiferromagnetic Potts model on a triangular lattice

Akai Kurbanovich Murtazaev, Albert Babaevich Babaev

Phase transitions and thermodynamic properties in the two-dimensional three-state antiferromagnetic Potts model on a triangular lattice are investigated using the Monte Carlo method and the histogram analysis of the data. It is shown that pronounced first-order phase transitions are observed in this model for systems with rather large linear dimensions ( L > 120). No first-order PTs are observed for systems with L < 120.
