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

Abstract

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).

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 ).

Dynamics of the Heisenberg Spin Glass Model in the `Griffiths Phase': Analysis by the Distribution Function of Relaxation Times of Individual Spins

Hajime Takayama, Hajime Yoshino

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).

Monte Carlo Study on the 2D ±JIsing Spin Glass –Dynamical Behavior of Individual Spins and Spin Clusters–

Koji Nemoto, Hiroshi Matsukawa, Hajime Takayama

We study the Monte Carlo simulation on the two-dimensional ± J Ising spin glass aiming to clarify the relation between behavior of individual spins and spin clusters in each sample and common spin glass properties of the system. Particularly relaxation times of individual spins are evaluated and their temperature dependences are examined. Making use of data obtained, we discuss in detail spin-freezing process in this model for spin glass. One of our most interesting findings is that spin relaxation processes at temperatures \(T{\gtrsim}0.8J\) obey Fulcher's law with T 0 ≃0.5 J , implying that the characteristic relaxation time of the system may diverge at T 0 .

A Monte Carlo study on the spin dynamics of the 2D+or-J Ising spin glass model

Koji Hukushima, K Nemoto

The authors examine the dynamical properties of the 2D+or-J Edwards-Anderson Ising spin glass in the anomalous phase which corresponds to the Griffiths phase in the diluted ferromagnetic system. By using Monte Carlo simulation they find that the autocorrelation function can be described as a function of a power of scaled time. This new scaling includes both the stretched exponential law for the intermediate stage and the logarithmic law for the early stage of relaxation. The relaxation time obtained from the scaling is found to diverge exponentially with exponent proportional to T -2 .

Griffiths singularities in the disordered phase of a quantum Ising spin glass

Heiko Rieger, A. P. Young

We study a model for a quantum Ising spin glass in two space dimensions by Monte Carlo simulations. In the disordered phase at T=0, rare strongly correlated regions give rise to strong Griffiths singularities, as originally found by McCoy for a one-dimensional model. We find that there are power law distributions of the local susceptibility and local nonlinear susceptibility, which are characterized by a smoothly varying dynamical exponent z. Over a range of the disordered phase near the quantum transition, the local nonlinear susceptibility diverges. The local susceptibility does not diverge in the disordered phase but does diverge at the critical point. Approaching the critical point from the disordered phase, the limiting value of z seems to equal its value precisely at criticality, even though the physics of these two cases seems rather different. \textcopyright{} 1996 The American Physical Society.
