Abstract

We have studied both the dynamic response and the relevant nonequilibrium dynami cal p hase transition of an Ising spin system subject to three sorts of oscillating fi eld i.e. sinusoidal, square and sawtooth waves. The above three sorts of externa l field drive dynamically the Ising spin system in either simply gradual ( abrupt) way or their combination respectively. In the case of both sinusoidal and squar e ways, it was observed that the Ising spin system displays a low_temperature sy mmetr y-breaking ordered phase and a high_temperature symmetric disordered phase as well as the dynamic transition between two dynamical phases above. We also detected the tri_critical point separating high_temperature continuous dynamic transition and low_temperature discontinuous one on the boundary of dynamic transition. The trend of dynamic transition boundary and the dependence of tri_critical point upon the system temperature, the frequency and amplitude of the driving field we re revea led as well. In contrast, nodynamic transition occurs any longer and the system always stays in symmetry-breaking ordered state if the external field takes the form of sawtooth wave. The preceding discrepancy in dynamic response and transi tion is attributed to the perturbative characteristic of different oscillating f ields.

Nonequilibrium dynamic phase transition in a kinetic Ising spin system

We studied within the framework of a mean-field approach the nonequilibrium dyn amic phase transition of a kinetic Ising spin system subject to a perturbative f ield and temperature simultaneously by comparison between time-dependent Ginzbur g-Landau and Glauber dynamics models. The dynamic phase transition (DPT) boundar ies, separating a symmetry-breaking dynamic ordered phase from its symmetric dyn amic disordered counterpart, were identified through a systematic simulation of the above two models. The dependence of the dynamic order parameter Q and the fo urth order cumulant ratio U upon the temperature t(r0), the frequency ω and amplitude h0 of driving field were also investigated in detai l. A discussion was presented concerning the current controversies on whether bo th a discontinuous dynamic phase transition occurs possibly below a specific low temperature and a tri-critical point exists on the DPT boundary in a kinetic Is ing spin system.

Nonequilibrium Phase Transition in Spin- S Ising Ferromagnet Driven by Propagating and Standing Magnetic Field Wave

Ajay Halder, Muktish Acharyya

Abstract The dynamical response of spin-S (S=1, 3/2, 2, 3) Ising ferromagnet to the plane propagating wave, standing magnetic field wave and uniformly oscillating field with constant frequency are studied separately in two dimensions by extensive Monte Carlo simulation. Depending upon the strength of the magnetic field and the value of the spin state of the Ising spin lattice two different dynamical phases are observed. For a fixed value of S and the amplitude of the propagating magnetic field wave the system undergoes a dynamical phase transition from propagating phase to pinned phase as the temperature of the system is cooled down. Similarly in case with standing magnetic wave the system undergoes dynamical phase transition from high temperature phase where spins oscillate coherently in alternate bands of half wavelength of the standing magnetic wave to the low temperature pinned or spin frozen phase. For a fixed value of the amplitude of magnetic field oscillation the transition temperature is observed to decrease to a limiting value as the value of spin S is increased. The time averaged magnetisation over a full cycle of the magnetic field oscillation plays the role of the dynamic order parameter. A comprehensive phase boundary is drawn in the plane of magnetic field amplitude and dynamic transition temperature. It is found that the phase boundary shrinks inwards for high value of spin state S. Also in the low temperature (and high field) region the phase boundaries are closely spaced.

Nonequilibrium dynamical phase transition of 3D kinetic Ising/Heisenberg spin system

Shao Yuan-Zhi, J.K.L. Lai, C.H. Shek +2 more

We have studied the nonequilibrium dynamic phase transitions of both three-dimensional (3D) kinetic Ising and Heisenberg spin systems in the presence of a perturbative magnetic field by Monte Carlo simulation. The feature of the phase transition is characterized by studying the distribution of the dynamical order parameter. In the case of anisotropic Ising spin system (ISS), the dynamic transition is discontinuous and continuous under low and high temperatures respectively, which indicates the existence of a tri-critical point (TCP) on the phase \linebreak boundary separating low-temperature order phase and high-temperature disorder phase. The TCP shifts towards the higher temperature region with the decrease of frequency, i.e. T TCP =1.33 × exp(−ω/30.7). In the case of the isotropic Heisenberg spin system (HSS), however, the situation on dynamic phase transition of HSS is quite different from that of ISS in that no stable dynamical phase transition was observed in kinetic HSS after a threshold time. The evolution of magnetization in the HSS driven by a symmetrical external field after a certain duration always tends asymptotically to a disorder state no matter what an initial state the system starts with. The threshold time τ depends upon the amplitude H 0 , reduced temperature T / T C and the frequency ω as τ = C .ω α . H 0 −β .( T / T C ) −γ .

Dynamic phase transitions and dynamic phase diagrams in the kinetic mixed spin-1 and spin-2 Ising system in an oscillating magnetic field

Mustafa Keskín, Mehmet Ertaş, Osman Canko

We study the nonequilibrium aspects of the kinetics of a mixed spin-1 and spin-2 Ising system including the biquadratic nearest-neighbor pair interaction ( K ) and crystal-field interaction ( D ) under the presence of a time-dependent oscillating external magnetic field within a mean-field approach. In particular, we calculate the dynamic phase transition (DPT) temperatures and present dynamic phase diagrams. The set of mean-field dynamic equations is obtained by employing Glauber transition rates. We investigate the time variations of average order parameters to find the phases in the system. We also study the thermal behavior of the dynamic order parameters to characterize the nature (continuous or discontinuous) of the phase transitions and obtain the DPT points. The dynamic phase diagrams are presented in three different planes. Phase diagrams contain disordered (d), ferrimagnetic (i), antiquadrupolar or staggered (a) phases, and four coexistence or mixed phase regions, namely i+d, i+a, i+a+d and a+d mixed phases, that strongly depend on interaction parameters.

Dynamic phase transition in the kinetic Ising model under a time-dependent oscillating field

Tânia Tomé, Mário J. de Oliveira

We analyze within a mean-field approach the stationary states of the kinetic Ising model described by the Glauber stochastic dynamics and subject to a time-dependent oscillating external field. We have found that the magnetization of the system oscillates in time around a certain value that is zero at high temperatures or large field amplitudes and nonzero at low temperatures and small field amplitudes. The transition from one regime to the other, which corresponds to a spontaneous symmetry breaking, is found to be continuous for sufficiently small values of the field amplitudes. For higher values the transition becomes discontinuous and the system exhibits a dynamical tricritical point.

Dynamic phase transition in the kinetic spin-5/2 Blume–Emery–Griffiths model in an oscillating external magnetic field

Mustafa Keskín, Mehmet Ertaş

Employing a mean-field approach, we study the stationary states of the kinetic spin-5/2 Blume–Emery–Griffiths (BEG) model under the presence of a time-varying (sinusoidal) magnetic field by using the Glauber-type stochastic dynamics. We employ the Glauber transition rates to construct the set of dynamic mean-field equations. We investigate the time variation in average order parameters to find the phases in the system, and the thermal behavior of the dynamic order parameters to characterize the nature (continuous or discontinuous) of the dynamic phase transtions and to the dynamic phase transition temperature. The dynamic phase diagrams are presented in three different planes. The phase diagrams contain the ferromagnetic-5/2, the ferromagnetic-3/2, the ferromagnetic-1/2, the ferroquadrupolar, and disordered fundamental phases. They also include the nine coexisting or mixed phases composed of binary and ternary combinations of fundamental phases that strongly depend on the interaction parameters. The phase diagrams display the critical end point, double critical end point, triple point, quadruple point, and one, two, or three special points and the dynamic tricritical point that depends on the interaction parameters.
