CORRELATIONS IN A NONEQUILIBRIUM STEADY STATE: EXACT RESULTS FOR A GENERALIZED KINETIC
Michael Plischke, British Columbia, Canadá
Abstract
A one-dimensional kinetic Ising model with domain wall dynamics corresponding to diffusion-limited annihilation in the presence of particle sources is considered. The spin-spin correlation function C, is calculated exactly for a nonequilibrium steady state which can be brought close to a critical point of the system. We find that in contrast to equilibrium situations, C, contains two distinctly diverging correlation lengths ~ ~ ~ 42, where ~2 is a length closely related to the nonequilibrium kinetics of the system.
