AXIAL AND OFF-AXIAL DYNAMIC TRANSITIONS IN UNIAXIALLY ANISOTROPIC HEISENBERG FERROMAGNET: A COMPARISON

Abstract

Uniaxially anisotropic Heisenberg ferromagnet, in the presence of a magnetic field varying sinusoidally in time, is studied by Monte Carlo simulation. The axial (field applied only along the direction of anisotropy) and off-axial (field applied only along the direction which is perpendicular to the direction of anisotropy) dynamic transitions are studied. By studying the distribution of the dynamic order parameter component, it is observed that the axial transition is discontinuous for low anisotropy and becomes continuous in high anisotropy. The off-axial transition is found to be continuous for all values of anisotropy. In the infinite anisotropy limit, both types of transitions are compared with that observed in an Ising ferromagnet for the same value of the field and frequency. The infinitely anisotropic axial transition and dynamic transition in the Ising ferromagnet occur at different temperatures, whereas the infinitely anisotropic off-axial transition and the equilibrium ferro-para transition in the Ising model occur at the same temperature.

NONEQUILIBRIUM MULTICRITICAL BEHAVIOR IN ANISOTROPIC HEISENBERG FERROMAGNET DRIVEN BY OSCILLATING MAGNETIC FIELD

MUKTISH ACHARYYA

The Heisenberg ferromagnet (uniaxially anisotropic along z-direction), in the presence of time dependent (but uniform over space) magnetic field, is studied by Monte Carlo simulation. The time dependent magnetic field was taken as elliptically polarised in such a way that the resulting field vector rotates in the XZ-plane. In the limit of low anisotropy, the dynamical responses of the system are studied as functions of temperature and the amplitudes of the magnetic field. As the temperature decreases, it was found that the system undergoes multiple dynamical phase transitions. In this limit, the multiple transitions were studied in details and the phase diagram for this observed multicritical behavior was drawn in field amplitude and temperature plane. The natures (continuous/discontinuous) of the transitions are determined by the temperature variations of fourth-order Binder cumulant ratio and the distributions of order parameters near the transition points. The transitions are supported by finite size study. The temperature variations of the variances of dynamic order parameter components (for different system sizes) indicate the existence of diverging length scale near the dynamic transition points. The frequency dependences of the transition temperatures of the multiple dynamic transition are also studied briefly.

Multiple dynamic transitions in an anisotropic Heisenberg ferromagnet driven by polarized magnetic field

Muktish Acharyya

A uniaxially (along the Z axis) anisotropic Heisenberg ferromagnet, in the presence of time-dependent (but uniform over space) magnetic field, is studied by Monte Carlo simulation. The time-dependent magnetic field was taken as elliptically polarized where the resultant field vector rotates in the X-Z plane. The system is cooled (in the presence of the elliptically polarized magnetic field) from high temperature. As the temperature decreases, it was found that in the low anisotropy limit the system undergoes three successive dynamical phase transitions. These three dynamic transitions were confirmed by studying the temperature variation of dynamic "specific heat." The temperature variation of dynamic specific heat shows three peaks indicating three dynamic transition points.

Nonequilibrium dynamical phase transition of 3D kinetic Ising/Heisenberg spin system

Shao Yuan-Zhi, J.K.L. Lai, C.H. Shek +2 more

We have studied the nonequilibrium dynamic phase transitions of both three-dimensional (3D) kinetic Ising and Heisenberg spin systems in the presence of a perturbative magnetic field by Monte Carlo simulation. The feature of the phase transition is characterized by studying the distribution of the dynamical order parameter. In the case of anisotropic Ising spin system (ISS), the dynamic transition is discontinuous and continuous under low and high temperatures respectively, which indicates the existence of a tri-critical point (TCP) on the phase \linebreak boundary separating low-temperature order phase and high-temperature disorder phase. The TCP shifts towards the higher temperature region with the decrease of frequency, i.e. T TCP =1.33 × exp(−ω/30.7). In the case of the isotropic Heisenberg spin system (HSS), however, the situation on dynamic phase transition of HSS is quite different from that of ISS in that no stable dynamical phase transition was observed in kinetic HSS after a threshold time. The evolution of magnetization in the HSS driven by a symmetrical external field after a certain duration always tends asymptotically to a disorder state no matter what an initial state the system starts with. The threshold time τ depends upon the amplitude H 0 , reduced temperature T / T C and the frequency ω as τ = C .ω α . H 0 −β .( T / T C ) −γ .

Anisotropic Effect on Local Magnetic Properties of 3D Extended Ising Model

Anouar Elidrysy, Said Harir, A. Zouhair +1 more

The magnetic properties of anisotropic 3D Ising model on a cubic lattice are studied by Monte Carlo simulation. In particular, we have considered an extended 3D Ising model with spatially uniaxial anisotropic bond randomness on the simple cubic lattice parameterized by exchange interaction parameter [Formula: see text], anisotropy parameter [Formula: see text] and external longitudinal magnetic field [Formula: see text]. The obtained numerical data clearly point out a second-order ferromagnetic-paramagnetic phase transition belonging in the same universality class with the 3D random Ising model at critical temperature [Formula: see text] that is strongly correlated to [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text]. Especially, in the limit, [Formula: see text], the spin ½ cubic lattice becomes a collection of noncorrelated Ising chains, whereas in the other limit, [Formula: see text], the system becomes a stack of noncorrelated Ising square lattice.

Competition between axial and cubic anisotropies in Heisenberg spin glasses

Zbigniew Domański

An infinite-range quantum Heisenberg spin glass with uniaxial (D) and cubic (K) anisotropies is studied using the thermo-field-dynamic method. Mean-field theory phase diagrams in the temperature-anisotropy plane (T,D) for quantum spins S=2 and S=5/2 are presented for different values of K. Generally, for integer spin values and large anisotropy D a condensation into a nonmagnetic spin state occurs, accompanied by the destruction of the spin-glass order as indicated by the finite critical value ${\mathrm{D}}_{\mathrm{c}}$(T=0). For half-integer S and sufficiently low temperature, the spin-glass phase persists for arbitrary D and K. In both cases the presence of a cubic term induces complicated crossovers from longitudinal to transverse freezing of spins.
