Abstract

Critical scaling and universality in short-time dynamics for spin models on a twodimensional triangular lattice are investigated by using Monte Carlo simulation. Emphasis is placed on the dynamic evolution from fully ordered initial states to show that universal scaling exists already in the short-time regime in form of power-law behavior of the magnetization and Binder cumulant. The results measured for the dynamic and static critical exponents, θ, z, β and ν, confirm explicitly that the Potts models on the triangular lattice and square lattice belong to the same universality class. Our critical scaling analysis strongly suggests that the simulation for the dynamic relaxation can be used to determine numerically the universality.

Short-time dynamics and universality are investigated for the random-bond Potts model with a trinary distribution of quenched randomness on a two-dimensional triangular lattice. The universal power-law scaling behaviour is applied to estimate the exponents z and β/ν. Emphasis is placed on dynamic Monte Carlo evolutions for different multi-disorder amplitudes. Our results indicate that the quenched impurities cause a change of the critical universality.

Short-time dynamics and magnetic critical behavior of the two-dimensional random-bond Potts model

He-Ping Ying, Kenji Harada

The critical behavior in the short-time dynamics for the random-bond Potts ferromagnet in two dimensions is investigated by short-time dynamic Monte Carlo simulations. The numerical calculations show that this dynamic approach can be applied efficiently to study the scaling characteristic, which is used to estimate the critical exponents straight theta,beta/nu, and z, for quenched disordered systems from the power-law behavior of the kth moments of magnetization.

Critical Relaxation and Critical Exponents

H. J. Luo, B. Zheng

Dynamic relaxation of the XY model and fully frustrated XY model quenched from an initial ordered state to the critical temperature or below is investigated with Monte Carlo methods. Universal power law scaling behavior is observed. The dynamic critical exponent z and the static exponent η are extracted from the time-dependent Binder cumulant and magnetization. The results are competitive to those measured with traditional methods.

Critical scaling and universality in the short-time dynamics for antiferromagnetic models on a three-dimensional stacked triangular lattice are investigated using Monte Carlo simulation. We have determined the critical point by searching for the best power law for the order parameter as a function of time and measured the critical exponents. Our results indicate that it is possible to distinguish weak first-order from second-order phase transitions and confirm that XY antiferromagnetic systems undergo a (weak) first-order phase transition accompanied by pseudocritical scaling.

Critical dynamics of the Baxter-Wu model

M. Santos, W. Figueiredo

The short-time behavior of the Baxter-Wu model is investigated through the relaxation of the order parameter at the critical temperature. We considered Monte Carlo simulations for this model on a triangular lattice, and we studied relaxation starting from the fourfold-degenerate ground state. Using the short-time scaling formalism we found the static critical exponents beta and nu of the model and the corresponding dynamical critical exponent z. The values of the static exponents we find agree with the exact ones. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first determination of the dynamical critical exponent of the Baxter-Wu model.
