Abstract
The dynamic critical behaviour of the three-dimensional classical Heisenberg model was studied by using short-time Monte Carlo simulations. The dynamic critical exponents z , θ and θ g , as well as the static critical exponents ν and β, were estimated by following the time evolution of the z -component of the total magnetization and its moments of higher order. The anomalous dimension of the magnetization x 0 was also calculated from a relation obtained through finite size scaling in the non-equilibrium stage. Afterwards, the local persistence exponent θ l was obtained by following the power law behaviour of the local persistence probability when the system was quenched from high temperatures to the null one ( T = 0). The time evolution of P l ( t ) was also analysed for T >0 and the expected exponential stretch was observed.
