Abstract

Dynamic relaxation of the XY model and fully frustrated XY model quenched from an initial ordered state to the critical temperature or below is investigated with Monte Carlo methods. Universal power law scaling behavior is observed. The dynamic critical exponent z and the static exponent η are extracted from the time-dependent Binder cumulant and magnetization. The results are competitive to those measured with traditional methods.

The dynamic exponent of two-dimensional fully frustrated XY model

Lei Xiao-wei, Zhao Xiao-Yu, 重庆文理学院物理系，重庆 402160

With a large-scale Monte Carlo simulation, non-equilibrium dynamics of the two-dimensional fully frustrated XY model is investigated. We tackle the Kosterlitz-Thouless phase transition. Starting from an ordered initial state, we study the dynamic evolution of the magnetization as well as a specifically defined Binder cumulant. From the dynamic scaling ansatz, we extract the correlating time of the dynamics and the spatial correlation length of the equilibrium state. The dynamic exponent z is determined with relatively high accuracy. Especially, we suggest and demonstrate how one may directly measure the dynamic exponent z above TKT from the scaling fit of the Binder cumulant. These results indicate that the dynamic exponent z fluctuates around z=2, and this is consistent with that observed at temperatures below the transition temperature TKT.

Finite-size scaling and critical exponents in critical relaxation

Zhibing Li, Lothar Schülke, Bo Zheng

We simulate the critical relaxation process of the two-dimensional Ising model with the initial state both completely disordered or completely ordered. Results of a method to measure both the dynamic and static critical exponents are reported, based on the finite-size scaling for the dynamics at the early time. From the time-dependent Binder cumulant, the dynamical exponent z is extracted independently, while the static exponents \ensuremath{\beta}/\ensuremath{\nu} and \ensuremath{\nu} are obtained from the time evolution of the magnetization and its higher moments. \textcopyright{} 1996 The American Physical Society.

Binder cumulant in the fully frustrated 2D XY model

Xiaoyu Zhao

With Monte Carlo methods, the dynamics evolution of the two-dimensional fully frustrated XY model is investigated. The simulation focuses on the binder cumulant of the Kosterlitz-Thouless phase transition. From the dynamic scaling behavior of the Binder cumulant above the transition temperature TKT, the dynamic exponent z and static exponent η are determined.

Monte Carlo Simulations of Short-Time Critical Dynamics

Bo Zheng

Monte Carlo simulations of the short-time critical dynamics are reviewed. The short-time universal scaling behavior of the dynamic Ising model and Potts model are discussed in detail, while extension and application to more complex systems as the XY model, the fully frustrated XY model and other dynamic systems are also presented. The investigation of the universal behavior of the short-time dynamics not only enlarges the fundamental knowledge on critical phenomena but also, more interestingly, provides possible new ways to determine not only the new critical exponents θ and θ1, but also the traditional dynamic critical exponent z as well as all static critical exponents.

Monte Carlo simulation of the short-time behaviour of the dynamicXY-model

Dynamic relaxation of the XY-model quenched from a high temperature state to the critical temperature or below is investigated with Monte Carlo methods. When a non-zero initial magnetization is given, in the short-time regime of the dynamic evolution the critical initial increase of the magnetization is observed. The dynamic exponent is directly determined. The results show that the exponent varies with respect to the temperature. Furthermore, it is demonstrated that this initial increase of the magnetization is universal, i.e. independent of the microscopic details of the initial configurations and the algorithms.
