Generalized Dynamic Scaling for Critical Magnetic Systems

The short-time behaviour of the critical dynamics for magnetic systems is investigated with Monte Carlo methods. Without losing the generality, we consider the relaxation process for the two dimensional Ising and Potts model starting from an initial state with very high temperature and arbitrary magnetization. We confirm the generalized scaling form and observe that the critical characteristic functions of the initial magnetization for the Ising and the Potts model are quite different.Comment: 32 pages with15 eps-figure
