Dynamics of diluted Ising chains-exact results for a wide class of single-spin-flip dynamics
C K Harris
Abstract
Investigates the bicritical dynamics of one-dimensional bond-diluted kinetic Ising models in the percolation limit at criticality. A wide class of single-spin-flip dynamics is applied and domain boundary diffusion arguments are used to identify the dominant processes producing flipping of the ordered finite chain segments constituting the diluted chain. Exact expressions for the rate of flip as a function of length of segment are obtained and are used to derive corresponding expressions for the decay of equilibrium correlations, and of the magnetisation (from a non-equilibrium uniformly magnetised initial state) in the chain. The results are in agreement with those of earlier rigorous calculations restricted to the special case of Glauber dynamics.
