Abstract

We have carried out Monte Carlo simulation on the 3-dimensional isotropic ± J spin glass model, by which the distribution function of relaxation times P (τ) is extracted from autocorrelation functions of all individual spins in the system. The obtained P (τ) gives clear evidence for the cluster dynamics due to the Griffiths singularity in a spin glass system as well as for the crossover between the cluster dynamics and the critical dynamics associated with the spin glass transition at T c (=0).

Critical Dynamics and Cluster Dynamics of the 3D ±JIsing Spin-Glass Model in Its `Griffiths Phase'

達雄 小森, Hajime Takayama

Non-exponential slow dynamics in the `Griffiths phase' of the three-dimensional (3D) ± J Ising spin-glass model is studied by means of Monte Carlo simulation. The distribution of relaxation times averaged over samples, \bar P ( x ) with x = lnτ, is calculated from spin auto-correlation functions simulated. It is found that \bar P ( x ) consists of two branches. The cross-over value between the branches, x c , diverges as T → T c , T c being the spin-glass transition temperature. Therefore τ c (= e x c ) is regarded as the critical relaxation time associated with the onset of the spin-glass order at T c , and the branch of \bar P ( x ) at x < x c is interpreted due to the ordinary critical slowing down process ( critical dynamics ). The other branch at x > x c causes the unusual slow dynamics peculiar to spin glasses. Various aspects of \bar P ( x ) of this branch examined are consistent with the following picture; compact regions with less frustrations than the system as a whole are thermally fluctuating with very small frequencies, and independently of each others ( cluster dynamics ).

Slow Dynamics in the `Griffiths Phase' of the Two-Dimensional Ising Spin Glass

達雄 小森, Koji Hukushima, Hajime Takayama

Slow dynamics in the ± J Ising model on a square lattice is studied by means of Monte Carlo simulation, in which the distribution function of (logarithms of) relaxation times, P ( x ) with x =ln τ , is obtained by analyzing individual spin auto-correlation functions one by one. At each temperature in the \lqGriffiths phase', namely in the range above the spin-glass transition temperature T c (=0) but below the Curie temperature of the corresponding pure ferromagnet Tpurec, P ( x ) exhibits a characteristic crossover behavior at around x c (=ln τ c ) which diverges toward T c . The contributions to the branch x ≤ x c are interpreted due to the ordinary critical slowing down process associated with T c (critical dynamics). The behavior of P ( x ) at x ≤ x c , on the other hand, is quite consistent with the picture of relaxation processes of large, rare clusters related to the expected Griffiths singularity at Tpurec (cluster dynamics).

SLOW DYNAMICS IN THE 'GRIFFITHS PHASE' OF THE 3D ± J ISING SPIN GLASS

達雄 小森, Hajime Takayama

Slow dynamics in the 'Griffiths phase' of the 3D ± J Ising spin glass is studied by means of Monte Carlo simulation, in which the spectra of (logarithms of) relaxation times, P (x) with x = ln τ, are analyzed in detail. At each temperature P (x) exhibits a characteristic crossover behavior at around a certain value xc which in turn tends to diverge toward the spin-glass critical temperature Tc. The contributions to the branch x ≲ xc are interpreted due to the ordinary critical slowing down process associated with Tc (critical dynamics). The behavior of P (x) at x ≲ xc, on the other hand, is consistent with the picture of relaxation processes of large, rare clusters which are related to the Griffiths singularity at the Curie temperature of the corresponding pure ferromagnet (cluster dynamics).

Monte Carlo Simulations on Slow Dynamics in 3-Dimensional ± J Heisenberg Spin Glass

Hajime Yoshino, Hajime Takayama

Slow dynamics in the 3-dimensional isotropic Heisenberg spin glass (SG) model is investigated by Monte Carlo simulations. The spin autocorrelation function exhibits an exponential decay multiplied by an algebraic factor. The relaxation time of the exponential decay obeys the conventional dynamical scaling with T = 0 transition. However, the behaviour of the algebraic prefactor is rather peculiar, which may be regarded as one of the SG properties inherent in the model.

Dynamical critical phenomena in three-dimensional Heisenberg spin glasses

Mitsuhiro Matsumoto, Koji Hukushima, Hajime Takayama

Spin-glass (SG) and chiral-glass (CG) orderings in three-dimensional (3D) Heisenberg spin glass with and without magnetic anisotropy are studied by using large-scale off-equilibrium Monte Carlo simulations. A characteristic time of relaxation, which diverges at a transition temperature in the thermodynamic limit, is obtained as a function of the temperature and the system size. Based on the finite-size-scaling analysis for the relaxation time, it is found that in the isotropic Heisenberg spin glass, the CG phase transition occurs at a finite temperature, while the SG transition occurs at a lower temperature, which is compatible with zero. Our results of the anisotropic case support the chirality scenario for the phase transitions in the 3D Heisenberg spin glasses.

Dynamical Simulation of Spin-Glass and Chiral-Glass Orderings in Three-Dimensional Heisenberg Spin Glasses

Hikaru Kawamura

Spin-glass and chiral-glass orderings in three-dimensional Heisenberg spin glasses are studied with and without random magnetic anisotropy by dynamical Monte Carlo simulations. In the isotropic case, clear evidence of a finite-temperature chiral-glass transition is presented. While the spin autocorrelation exhibits only an interrupted aging, the chirality autocorrelation persists to exhibit a pronounced aging effect reminiscent of the one observed in the mean-field model. In the anisotropic case, asymptotic mixing of the spin and the chirality is observed in the off-equilibrium dynamics.
