Corrections to scaling in the dynamic approach to the phase transition with quenched disorder

With dynamic Monte Carlo simulations, we investigate the continuous phase transition in the three-dimensional three-state random-bond Potts model. We propose a useful technique to deal with the strong corrections to the dynamic scaling form. The critical point, static exponents $\beta$ and $\nu$, and dynamic exponent $z$ are accurately determined. Particularly, the results support that the exponent $\nu$ satisfies the lower bound $\nu \geqslant 2/d$.Comment: 10 pages, 6 figures, 2 table

Phase Ordering Dynamics of ϕ4\phi^4 Theory with Hamiltonian Equations of Motion

Phase ordering dynamics of the (2+1)- and (3+1)-dimensional $\phi^4$ theory with Hamiltonian equations of motion is investigated numerically. Dynamic scaling is confirmed. The dynamic exponent $z$ is different from that of the Ising model with dynamics of model A, while the exponent $\lambda$ is the same.Comment: to appear in Int. J. Mod. Phys.

Dynamic effect of overhangs and islands at the depinning transition in two-dimensional magnets

With the Monte Carlo methods, we systematically investigate the short-time dynamics of domain-wall motion in the two-dimensional random-field Ising model with a driving field ?DRFIM?. We accurately determine the depinning transition field and critical exponents. Through two different definitions of the domain interface, we examine the dynamics of overhangs and islands. At the depinning transition, the dynamic effect of overhangs and islands reaches maximum. We argue that this should be an important mechanism leading the DRFIM model to a different universality class from the Edwards-Wilkinson equation with quenched disorderComment: 9 pages, 6 figure

Microscopic Deterministic Dynamics and Persistence Exponent

Numerically we solve the microscopic deterministic equations of motion with random initial states for the two-dimensional $\phi^4$ theory. Scaling behavior of the persistence probability at criticality is systematically investigated and the persistence exponent is estimated.Comment: to appear in Mod. Phys. Lett.
