Domain-wall dynamics near a quantum critical point
Shengjun Yuan, Hans A. De Raedt, Seiji Miyashita
We study the real-time domain-wall dynamics near a quantum critical point of the one-dimensional anisotropic ferromagnetic spin $1∕2$ chain. By numerical simulation, we find that the domain wall is dynamically stable in the Heisenberg-Ising model. Near the quantum critical point, the width of the domain wall diverges as ${(\ensuremath{\Delta}\ensuremath{-}1)}^{\ensuremath{-}1∕2}$.
