Ageing in disordered magnets and local scale invariance

Published Oct 13, 2006• 50 citations

Abstract

The ageing of the bond-disordered two-dimensional Ising model quenched to below its critical point is studied through the two-time autocorrelator and thermoremanent magnetization (TRM). The corresponding ageing exponents are determined. The form of the scaling function of the TRM is well described by the theory of local scale invariance.

Two-time autocorrelation function in phase-ordering kinetics from local scale invariance

Malte Henkel, A Picone, M Pleimling

The time-dependent scaling of the two-time autocorrelation function of spin systems without disorder undergoing phase-ordering kinetics is considered. Its form is shown to be determined by an extension of dynamical scaling to a local scale invariance which turns out to be a new version of conformal invariance. The predicted autocorrelator is in agreement with Monte Carlo data on the autocorrelation function of the 2D kinetic Ising model with Glauber dynamics quenched to a temperature below criticality.

Lei Xiao-wei

With dynamic Monte Carlo simulations,aging phenomena of two-dimensional Ising model and dynamic XY model were studied numerically.Systems were quenched to their critical point from a disordered initial state.The autocorrelation function was calculated by heat-bath algorithm.Critical exponents were also calculated.It was confirmed that for the 2D XY model,there is a logarithmic correction to scaling.The universality proposal and their scale relation in aging phenomena were predicted.The scale relation agreed with renormalization group calculations.

Phase-ordering kinetics of two-dimensional disordered Ising models

Baumann, Florian, Malte Henkel, Michel Pleimling

The phase-ordering kinetics of the ferromagnetic two-dimensional Ising model with uniform disorder is investigated by intensive Monte Carlo simulations. Taking into account finite-time corrections to scaling, simple ageing behaviour is observed in the two-time responses and correlators. The dynamical exponent z and the form of the scaling functions only depend on the ratio eps/T, where eps describes the width of the distribution of the disorder. The agreement of the predictions of local scale-invariance generalised to z<> 2 for the two-time scaling functions of response and correlations with the numerical data provides a direct test of generalised Galilei-invariance.

Autocorrelation functions in phase-ordering kinetics from local scale invariance

Malte Henkel, Florian Baumann

The explicit calculation of the scaling form of the two-time autocorrelation function in phase-ordering kinetics and in those cases of non-equilibrium critical dynamics where the dynamical exponent z = 2 through the extension of dynamical scaling to local scale invariance is reviewed. Conceptually, this mainly requires an extension from the usually considered d -dimensional ageing or Schrödinger algebras to a new kind of representation of the conformal algebra in d + 2 dimensions. Explicit tests in several exactly solved models of simple magnets and through simulations in the 2D Ising and q -states Potts models ( q = 2, 3, 8) quenched to T < T c are presented and the extension to systems with non-equilibrium steady states is discussed through two exactly solvable models as well. In the context of surface growth models, possible generalizations for a dynamical exponent z = 4 and beyond are discussed.

A numerical study on the aging of two-dimensional spin systems

Lei Xiao-wei, Bo Zheng, Ying He-Ping +1 more

With a large-scale Monte Carlo simulation, the aging of the two-dimensional dynamic Ising and XY models is numerically studied. Starting from a disordered state, the systems are quenched to critical temperature Tc and then evolve according to dynamics of model A. By calculating the autocorrelation function A(t,t′) we observe the aging phenomenon for both spin systems. Then, relatively accurate values of the dynamic critical exponent λc and z are estimated. Especially, we confirm that for the two-dimensional XY model, there is a strong logarithmic correction to scaling in the dynamic relaxation starting from a completely disordered.

Aging in spin glasses as a random walk: Effect of a magnetic field

E. Vincent, J. P. Bouchaud, David S. Dean +1 more

We investigate the role of a magnetic field on the aging properties of spin glasses, focusing both on ac susceptibility measurements with an additional field variation and on thermoremanent magnetization (TRM) relaxation (to which the field variation is inherent). We propose a scaling of the TRM decay curves for various amplitudes of the magnetic field. Regarding aging as a random walk in a set of traps, we analyze the transient modification of the dynamics after a field change as twofold: an average reduction of relaxation times, well described by a Zeeman reduction of the energy barriers (hard traps), together with an ``emptying out'' of some other relaxation modes (fragile traps) corresponding to a partial quench effect. The fragile traps are associated with the longest time scales, that is to processes involving a large number of spins. A quantitative analysis of the results allows us to estimate a typical number of spins involved in both types of traps, as well as to discuss the growth of the energy barriers as a function of the number of spins.
