Abstract

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 .

Model C critical dynamics of random anisotropy magnets

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.

PHASE TRANSITION IN THE RANDOM ANISOTROPY MODEL

M. Dudka, R. Folk, Yurij V. Holovatch

The influence of a local anisotropy of random orientation on a ferromagnetic phase transition is studied for two cases of anisotropy axis distribution. To this end a model of a random anisotropy magnet is analyzed by means of the field theoretical renormalization group approach in two loop approximation refined by a resummation of the asymptotic series. The one-loop result of Aharony indicating the absence of a second-order phase transition for an isotropic distribution of random anisotropy axis at space dimension $d<4$ is corroborated. For a cubic distribution the accessible stable fixed point leads to disordered Ising-like critical exponents.

ON THE CRITICAL BEHAVIOUR OF RANDOM ANISOTROPY MAGNETS: CUBIC ANISOTROPY

M. Dudka, Folk, Yurij V. Holovatch

The critical behaviour of an m -vector model with a local anisotropy axis of random orientation is studied within the field-theoretical renormalization group approach for cubic distribution of anisotropy axis.Expressions for the renormalization group functions are calculated up to the two-loop order and investigated both by an ε = 4 -d expansion and directly at space dimension d = 3 by means of the Pad é-Borel resummation.One accessible stable fixed point indicating a 2nd order ferromagnetic phase transition with dilute Ising-like critical exponents is obtained.

Relaxational dynamics in 3D randomly diluted Ising models

Martin Hasenbusch B, Andrea Pelissetto C, Ettore Vicari

We study the purely relaxational dynamics (model A) at criticality in three-dimensional disordered Ising systems whose static critical behaviour belongs to the randomly diluted Ising universality class. We consider the site-diluted and bond-diluted Ising models, and the ± J Ising model along the paramagnetic–ferromagnetic transition line. We perform Monte Carlo simulations at the critical point using the Metropolis algorithm and study the dynamic behaviour in equilibrium at various values of the disorder parameter. The results provide a robust evidence of the existence of a unique model-A dynamic universality class which describes the relaxational critical dynamics in all considered models. In particular, the analysis of the size dependence of suitably defined autocorrelation times at the critical point provides the estimate z = 2.35(2) for the universal dynamic critical exponent. We also study the off-equilibrium relaxational dynamics following a quench from to T c . In agreement with the field-theory scenario, the analysis of the off-equilibrium dynamic critical behaviour gives an estimate of z that is perfectly consistent with the equilibrium estimate z = 2.35(2).

Effective and asymptotic criticality of structurally disordered magnets

M. Dudka, Mariana Krasnytska, Juan Jesus Ruiz-Lorenzo +1 more

Changes in magnetic critical behaviour of quenched structurally-disordered magnets are usually exemplified in experiments and in MC simulations by diluted systems consisting of magnetic and non-magnetic components. In our study we aim to show that similar effects can be observed not only for diluted magnets with non-magnetic impurities but may be implemented, e.g., by the presence of two (and more) chemically different magnetic components as well. Therefore we consider a model of the structurally-disordered quenched magnet where all lattice sites are occupied by Ising-like spins of different lengths L. In such a random spin length Ising model, the length L of each spin is a random variable governed by the distribution function p(L). We demonstrate that this model belongs to the universality class of the site-diluted Ising model. This proves that both models are described by the same values of asymptotic critical exponents. However, their effective critical behaviour differs. As a case study, we consider a quenched mixture of two different magnets with values of elementary magnetic moments L1=1 and L2=s, and of concentration c and 1−c, correspondingly. We apply field-theoretical renormalization group approach to analyse the renormalization group flow for different initial conditions, triggered by s and c, and to calculate effective critical exponents further away from the fixed points of the renormalization group transformation. We show how the effective exponents are governed by difference in properties of the magnetic components.

Model C critical dynamics of disordered magnets

Maxym Dudka, Reinhard Folk, Yurij V. Holovatch +1 more

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.
