Comment on “Dynamic Behavior of Anisotropic Nonequilibrium Driving Lattice Gases”

Abstract

In a recent Letter Albano and Saracco study the dynamic critical behavior of some anisotropic driven lattice gases by Monte Carlo (MC) simulations. In this Comment we point out that the Ansätze they use to relate the measured scaling exponents with the critical exponents analytically computed within different field-theoretical approaches do not take properly into account the strongly anisotropic nature of the phase transition, by implicitly assuming $z = z_{\bot} = z_{\parallel}$. As a consequence, at variance with the claims by the authors, their MC data are not conclusive to determine which one of the field theories proposed in the literature correctly describes the universal properties of the phase transition in these lattice gases.

Monte Carlo study of the phase transition in the critical behavior of the Ising model with shear

Gustavo P. Saracco, Giuseppe Gonnella

The critical behavior of the Ising model with nonconserved dynamics and an external driving field mimicking a shear profile is analyzed by studying its dynamical evolution in the short-time regime. Starting from high-temperature disordered configurations (fully disordered configurations, FDC), the critical temperature ${T}_{c}$ is determined when the order parameter, defined as the absolute value of the transversal spin profile, exhibits a power-law behavior with an exponent that is a combination of some of the critical exponents of the transition. For each value of the shear field magnitude, labeled as $\stackrel{\ifmmode \dot{}\else \.{}\fi{}}{\ensuremath{\gamma}}$, ${T}_{c}$ has been estimated and two stages have been found: (1) a growing stage at low values of $\stackrel{\ifmmode \dot{}\else \.{}\fi{}}{\ensuremath{\gamma}}$, where ${T}_{c}\ensuremath{\sim}{\stackrel{\ifmmode \dot{}\else \.{}\fi{}}{\ensuremath{\gamma}}}^{\ensuremath{\psi}}$ and $\ensuremath{\psi}=0.52(3)$, and (2) a saturation regime at large $\stackrel{\ifmmode \dot{}\else \.{}\fi{}}{\ensuremath{\gamma}}$. The same values of ${T}_{c}(\stackrel{\ifmmode \dot{}\else \.{}\fi{}}{\ensuremath{\gamma}})$ were found studying the dynamical evolution from the ground-state configuration with all spins pointing in the same direction. By combining the exponents of the corresponding power laws obtained from each initial configuration, the set of critical exponents was calculated. These values, at large external field magnitude, define a critical behavior different from that of the Ising model and of other driven lattice gases.

Comment on “Critical Dynamics of a Vortex-Loop Model for the Superconducting Transition”

Jack Lidmar

Recently, Aji and Goldenfeldt [Phys. Rev. Lett. 87, 197003 (2001), cond-mat/0105622] put forward an explanation for the value of the dynamic critical exponent z observed in certain Monte Carlo simulations of the superconducting phase transition in zero magnetic field. In this Comment, we point out that their analysis is based on incorrect assumptions regarding the scaling dimension of the vortex density.

Nonequilibrium Relaxation and Critical Aging for Driven Ising Lattice Gases

George L. Daquila, Uwe Claus Täuber

We employ Monte Carlo simulations to study the nonequilibrium relaxation of driven Ising lattice gases in two dimensions. Whereas the temporal scaling of the density autocorrelation function in the nonequilibrium steady state does not allow a precise measurement of the critical exponents, these can be accurately determined from the aging scaling of the two-time autocorrelations and the order parameter evolution following a quench to the critical point. We obtain excellent agreement with renormalization group predictions based on the standard Langevin representation of driven Ising lattice gases.

Monte Carlo analysis of non-equilibrium steady states and relaxation kinetics in driven lattice gases

George L. Daquila

We numerically investigate the long-time behavior of the density-density auto-correlation function in driven lattice gases, with particle exclusion and periodic boundary conditions in one, two, and three dimensions using precise Monte Carlo simulations of larger system sizes than previous studies. In the one-dimensional asymmetric exclusion process on a ring with half the lattice sites occupied, we find that correlations induce extremely slow relaxation to the asymptotic power law decay We compare the crossover functions obtained from our simulations with various analytic results in the literature, and analyze the characteristic oscillations that occur in finite systems away from half-filling. As expected, correlations are weak in three dimensions and consequently the mean-field description is adequate. We also investigate the relaxation towards the non-equilibrium steady state in the two-time density-density auto-correlations, starting from strongly correlated initial conditions. We obtain simple aging scaling behavior in one, two, and three dimensions, with the expected power laws. We numerically investigate the behavior of driven lattice gases with nearest neighbor interactions at half-filling with periodic boundary conditions below and at the critical temperature using Monte Carlo simulations of very large lattices in two dimensions. This work is one of few that explores the relaxation to a non-equilibrium steady state. We obtain data collapse for the finite-size scaling form of density-density auto-correlation function at the critical point. We achieve data collapse using finite-size scaling of the time-dependent order parameter during the transient regime starting from strongly correlated initial conditions. We present simple aging scaling of the density-density auto-correlation function at the critical point starting from strongly correlated initial conditions using Monte Carlo simulations of two different lattice anisotropies. We thus unambiguously confirm the critical exponents determined by renormalization group methods using measurement of dynamic quantities in the transient regime. Measuring these dynamic quantities in the transient regime provides more conclusive measurements of the critical exponents than previous studies measuring static quantities in the stationary state. We provide qualitative arguments that the lattice anisotropy determines the steady-state for sub-critical quenches.

Critical properties of the contact process with quenched dilution

Alexander H. O. Wada, Mário J. de Oliveira

Abstract We have studied the critical properties of the contact process on a square lattice with quenched site dilution by Monte Carlo simulations. This was achieved by generating in advance the percolating cluster, through the use of an appropriate epidemic model, and then by the simulation of the contact process on the top of the percolating cluster. The dynamic critical exponents were calculated by assuming an activated scaling relation and the static exponents by the usual power law behavior. Our results are in agreement with the prediction that the quenched diluted contact process belongs to the universality class of the random transverse-field Ising model. We have also analyzed the model and determined the phase diagram by the use of a mean-field theory that takes into account the correlation between neighboring sites.
