Model C critical dynamics of disordered magnets

Abstract

Abstract. The critical dynamics of model C in the presence of disorder is considered. It is known that in the asymptotics a conserved secondary density decouples from the nonconserved order parameter for disordered systems. However couplings between order parameter and secondary density cause considerable effects on non-asymptotic critical properties. Here, a general procedure for a renormalization group treatment is proposed. Already the one-loop approximation gives a qualitatively correct picture of the diluted model C dynamical criticality. A more quantitative description is achieved using two-loop approximation. In order to get reliable results resummation technique has to be applied.

Model C critical dynamics of random anisotropy magnets

M. Dudka, R Folk, Yurij V. Holovatch +1 more

We study the relaxational critical dynamics of the three-dimensional random anisotropy magnets with the non-conserved n -component order parameter coupled to a conserved scalar density. In the random anisotropy magnets, the structural disorder is present in the form of local quenched anisotropy axes of random orientation. When the anisotropy axes are randomly distributed along the edges of the n -dimensional hypercube, asymptotical dynamical critical properties coincide with those of the random-site Ising model. However the structural disorder gives rise to considerable effects for non-asymptotic critical dynamics. We investigate this phenomenon by a field-theoretical renormalization group analysis in the two-loop order. We study critical slowing down and obtain quantitative estimates for the effective and asymptotic critical exponents of the order parameter and scalar density. The results predict complex scenarios for the effective critical exponent approaching the asymptotic regime.

Critical slowing down in random anisotropy magnets

Dudka, Folk, Yurij V. Holovatch +1 more

We study the purely relaxational critical dynamics with non-conserved order parameter (model A critical dynamics) for three-dimensional magnets with disorder in a form of the random anisotropy axis.For the random axis anisotropic distribution, the static asymptotic critical behaviour coincides with that of random site Ising systems.Therefore the asymptotic critical dynamics is governed by the dynamical exponent of the random Ising model.However, the disorder effects considerably the dynamical behaviour in the non-asymptotic regime.We perform a field-theoretical renormalization group analysis within the minimal subtraction scheme in two-loop approximation to investigate asymptotic and effective critical dynamics of random anisotropy systems.The results demonstrate the non-monotonic behaviour of the dynamical effective critical exponent z eff .

Dynamic universality class of Model C from the functional renormalization group

D. Mesterházy, Jan H. Stockemer, L. F. Palhares +1 more

We establish new scaling properties for the universality class of Model C, which describes relaxational critical dynamics of a nonconserved order parameter coupled to a conserved scalar density. We find an anomalous diffusion phase, which satisfies weak dynamic scaling while the conserved density diffuses only asymptotically. The properties of the phase diagram for the dynamic critical behavior include a significantly extended weak scaling region, together with a strong and a decoupled scaling regime. These calculations are done directly in $2\ensuremath{\le}d\ensuremath{\le}4$ space dimensions within the framework of the nonperturbative functional renormalization group. The scaling exponents characterizing the different phases are determined along with subleading indices featuring the stability properties.

Critical dynamics: a field-theoretical approach

R. Folk, G. Moser

We review the progress made in dynamic bulk critical behaviour in equilibrium in the last 25 years since the review of Halperin and Hohenberg. We unify the presentation of the theoretical background by restricting ourselves to the field-theoretic renormalization group method. The main results obtained in the different universality classes are presented. This contains the critical dynamics near the gas–liquid transition in pure fluids (model H), the plait point and consolute point in mixtures (model H � ), the superfluid transition in 4 He (model F) and 4 He– 3 He mixtures (model F � ), the Curie point (model J) and Neel point (model G) in Heisenberg magnets and the superconducting transition. In comparison with experimental results, it became clear that in most cases one has to consider apart from the universal asymptotic critical behaviour also the non-universal effective behaviour. Either because it turned out to be inevitable due to a small dynamical transient exponent inhibiting the system to reach the asymptotics (e.g., at the superfluid transition) or because one is interested in the region further away from the phase transition like in pure fluids and mixtures at their gas–liquid or demixing transition. The calculation of the critical dynamics is adequate in most cases only in two-loop order. We review these results and present the solution to unreasonable features found for some models. Thus, we consider model C where relaxational and diffusive dynamics are coupled and the scaling properties and the limit to a purely relaxational model (model A) have not been understood. In general for models where the order parameter couples to other conserved densities time scale ratios between the kinetic coefficients of the order parameter and the conserved densities play an important role. Their fixed-point values and the approach to the fixed point are changed considerably in two-loop order compared to their values in one-loop order. These considerations are relevant for the explanation of the dynamical critical shape functions of systems such as superfluid helium (model F) and the isotropic antiferromagnet (model G). As far as possible, the comparison of results obtained by the renormalization group theory with numerical simulations has been made.

Nonequilibrium critical dynamics of the relaxational models C and D

Vamsi K. Akkineni, Uwe Claus Täuber

We investigate the critical dynamics of the n-component relaxational models C and D, which incorporate the coupling of a nonconserved and conserved order parameter S, respectively, to the conserved energy density rho, under nonequilibrium conditions by means of the dynamical renormalization group. Detailed balance violations can be implemented isotropically by allowing for different effective temperatures for the heat baths coupling to the slow modes. In the case of model D with conserved order parameter, the energy density fluctuations can be integrated out, leaving no trace of the nonequilibrium perturbations in the asymptotic regime. For model C with scalar order parameter, in equilibrium governed by strong dynamic scaling (z(S)=z(rho)), we find no genuine nonequilibrium fixed point either. The nonequilibrium critical dynamics of model C with n=1 thus follows the behavior of other systems with nonconserved order parameter wherein detailed balance becomes effectively restored at the phase transition. For n> or =4, the energy density generally decouples from the order parameter. However, for n=2 and n=3, in the weak dynamic scaling regime (z(S)< or =z(rho)) entire lines of genuine nonequilibrium model C fixed points emerge to one-loop order, which are characterized by continuously varying static and dynamic critical exponents. Similarly, the nonequilibrium model C with spatially anisotropic noise and n<4 allows for continuously varying exponents, yet with strong dynamic scaling. Subjecting model D to anisotropic nonequilibrium perturbations leads to genuinely different critical behavior with softening only in subsectors of momentum space and correspondingly anisotropic scaling exponents. Similar to the two-temperature model B (randomly driven diffusive systems) the effective theory at criticality can be cast into an equilibrium model D dynamics, albeit incorporating long-range interactions of the uniaxial dipolar or ferroelastic type.
