Persistence in the zero-temperature dynamics of the 1D Ising model with long range interactions

Abstract

We study the zero-temperature dynamics of the 1D Ising Model with long range interactions. In particular, we focus on the persistence behavior as the strength of the long range interaction is varied. Persistence pertains to those spins that did not flip after some time. We observe that whatever the strength of the long range interaction, the system exhibits blocking where some spins do not flip at all. The system size is also varied to see its effect on these properties.

Persistence in the zero-temperature dynamics of the diluted Ising ferromagnet in two dimensions

S. Jain

The nonequilibrium dynamics of the strongly diluted random-bond Ising model in two dimensions (2D) is investigated numerically. The persistence probability, P(t), of spins which do not flip by time t is found to decay to a nonzero, dilution-dependent value P(infinity). We find that p(t)=P(t)-P(infinity) decays exponentially to zero at large times. Furthermore, the fraction of spins which never flip is a monotonically increasing function over the range of bond-dilution considered. Our findings, which are consistent with a recent result of Newman and Stein [Phys. Rev. Lett. 82, 3944 (1999)], suggest that persistence in diluted and pure systems falls into different classes. Furthermore, its behavior would also appear to depend crucially on the strength of the dilution present.

Non-Equilibrium Dynamics of the Disordered Ising Model

S. Jain

The non-equilibrium dynamics of the bond-diluted Ising model in two-dimensions (2d) is investigated numerically for a range of bond concentration 0≤p≤1. The fraction of spins which never flip, P(∞), is found to increase monotonically from zero for p = 0 with increasing bond concentration to a maximum value of about 0.46 for p = 0.5 and then decreases to zero for p = 1. For strong bond-dilution (0≤p≤0.5) we find that r(t) = P(t)-P(∞) decays exponentially to zero at large times. for weak dilution (0.975≤p ≪ 1.0), three distinct regimes are identified: a short time regime where the behaviour is purelike; an intermediate regime where the persistence probability decays nonalgebraically with time; and a long time \lqfrozen \rq regime where the domains cease to grow. Our results for strong dilution are consistent with recent work of Newman and Stein, and suggest that persistence in diluted and pure systems falls into different classes. Furthermore, its behaviour would also appear to depend crucially on the strength of the dilution present.

Multidimensional persistence behavior in an Ising system

Anjan Kumar Chandra, Subinay Dasgupta

We consider a periodic Ising chain with nearest-neighbor and rth neighbor interaction and quench it from infinite temperature to zero temperature. The persistence probability P(t) , measured as the probability that a spin remains unflipped up to time t , is studied by computer simulation for suitable values of r . We observe that as time progresses, P(t) first decays as t(-0.22) (the first regime), then the P(t)-t curve has a small slope (in log-log scale) for some time (the second regime) and at last it decays nearly as t(-3/8) (the third regime). We argue that in the first regime, the persistence behavior is the usual one for a two-dimensional system, in the second regime it is like that of a noninteracting ("zero-dimensional") system, and in the third regime the persistence behavior is like that of a one-dimensional Ising model. We also provide explanations for such behavior.

Long-range random-field Ising model: Phase transition threshold and equivalence of short and long ranges

Luca Leuzzi, Giorgio Parisi A

The one-dimensional Ising model in a random field and with power-law decaying ferromagnetic bonds is studied at zero temperature. Comparing the scaling of the energy contributions of the ferromagnetic domain wall flip and of the random field \`a la Imry-Ma, a threshold value for the power $\ensuremath{\rho}$ of the long-range interaction can be determined, beyond which no critical behavior occurs. The critical threshold value is ${\ensuremath{\rho}}_{c}=3/2$, at a difference with the zero field model in which ${\ensuremath{\rho}}_{c}=2$. This prediction is analyzed by numerical computation of the ground states below, at, and above this threshold value. The analogy between the critical behavior of long-range one-dimensional systems and in short-range $D$-dimensional systems is investigated. At the critical threshold value of $\ensuremath{\rho}$, corresponding to the lower critical dimension, numerical evidence is found for a zero temperature transition at a finite critical field. Possible finite size crossover effects are discussed in this case. Some implications for the critical behavior of spin glasses in a field are conjectured.

Minority-spin dynamics in the nonhomogeneous Ising model: Diverging time scales and exponents

Pratik Mullick, Parongama Sen

We investigate the dynamical behavior of the Ising model under a zero-temperature quench with the initial fraction of up spins $0\ensuremath{\le}x\ensuremath{\le}1$. In one dimension, the known results for persistence probability are verified; it shows algebraic decay for both up and down spins asymptotically with different exponents. It is found that the conventional finite-size scaling is valid here. In two dimensions, however, the persistence probabilities are no longer algebraic; in particular for $x\ensuremath{\le}0.5$, persistence for the up (minority) spins shows the behavior ${P}_{\text{min}}(t)\ensuremath{\sim}{t}^{\ensuremath{-}\ensuremath{\gamma}}exp[\ensuremath{-}{(t/\ensuremath{\tau})}^{\ensuremath{\delta}}]$ with time $t$, while for the down (majority) spins, ${P}_{\text{maj}}(t)$ approaches a finite value. We find that the timescale $\ensuremath{\tau}$ diverges as ${({x}_{c}\ensuremath{-}x)}^{\ensuremath{-}\ensuremath{\lambda}}$, where ${x}_{c}=0.5$ and $\ensuremath{\lambda}\ensuremath{\simeq}2.31$. The exponent $\ensuremath{\gamma}$ varies as ${\ensuremath{\theta}}_{2d}+{c}_{0}{({x}_{c}\ensuremath{-}x)}^{\ensuremath{\beta}}$ where ${\ensuremath{\theta}}_{2d}\ensuremath{\simeq}0.215$ is very close to the persistence exponent in two dimensions; $\ensuremath{\beta}\ensuremath{\simeq}1$. The results in two dimensions can be understood qualitatively by studying the exit probability, which for different system size is found to have the form $E(x)=f\left[(\frac{x\ensuremath{-}{x}_{c}}{{x}_{c}}){L}^{1/\ensuremath{\nu}}\right]$, with $\ensuremath{\nu}\ensuremath{\approx}1.47$. This result suggests that $\ensuremath{\tau}\ensuremath{\sim}{L}^{\stackrel{\ifmmode \tilde{}\else \~{}\fi{}}{z}}$, where $\stackrel{\ifmmode \tilde{}\else \~{}\fi{}}{z}=\frac{\ensuremath{\lambda}}{\ensuremath{\nu}}=1.57\ifmmode\pm\else\textpm\fi{}0.11$ is an exponent not explored earlier.

Spin block persistence at finite temperature

Stéphane Cueille, Clément Sire

We explore a new definition of the persistence exponent, measuring the probability that a spin never flips after a quench of an Ising-like model at a temperature , while the usual definition only makes sense at T = 0. This probability is now defined for spin blocks, and a general scaling for it, involving time and block linear size is introduced and illustrated by extensive simulations.
