Critical dynamics for one-dimensional models
F. Leyvraz, Naeem Jan
Abstract
A plausible argument using the concepts of dynamic renormalisation group is used to derive the dynamical exponent z of the one-dimensional q=2, 3 and 4 Potts and four-state clock models. The exact result (z=2) for the Ising model with Glauber dynamics is recovered and in addition the authors find that the q=3, 4 Potts and four-state clock models belong to the same universality class. Moreover they find that z=3.05+or-0.1 for the (q=2) Potts model with Kawasaki dynamics in agreement with the z=4- eta prediction of Halperin, Hohenberg and Ma (1974). A simple qualitative derivation is also given.
