One-dimensional Nonequilibrium Kinetic Ising Models with local spin-symmetry breaking: N-component branching annihilation transition at zero branching rate

The effects of locally broken spin symmetry are investigated in one dimensional nonequilibrium kinetic Ising systems via computer simulations and cluster mean field calculations. Besides a line of directed percolation transitions, a line of transitions belonging to N-component, two-offspring branching annihilating random-walk class (N-BARW2) is revealed in the phase diagram at zero branching rate. In this way a spin model for N-BARW2 transitions is proposed for the first time.

Phase transitions and critical behaviour in one-dimensional non-equilibrium kinetic Ising models with branching annihilating random walk of kinks

One-dimensional non-equilibrium kinetic Ising models evolving under the competing effect of spin flips at zero temperature and nearest-neighbour spin exchanges exhibiting directed percolation-like parity conserving(PC) phase transition on the level of kinks are now further investigated, numerically, from the point of view of the underlying spin system. Critical exponents characterising its statics and dynamics are reported. It is found that the influence of the PC transition on the critical exponents of the spins is strong and the origin of drastic changes as compared to the Glauber-Ising case can be traced back to the hyperscaling law stemming from directed percolation(DP). Effect of an external magnetic field, leading to DP-type critical behaviour on the level of kinks, is also studied, mainly through the generalised mean field approximation.

Non-equilibrium phase transitions in one-dimensional kinetic Ising models

A family of nonequilibrium kinetic Ising models, introduced earlier, evolving under the competing effect of spin flips at {\it zero temperature} and nearest neighbour random spin exchanges is further investigated here. By increasing the range of spin exchanges and/or their strength the nature of the phase transition 'Ising-to-active' becomes of (dynamic) mean-field type and a first order tricitical point is located at the Glauber ($δ=0$) limit. Corrections to mean-field theory are evaluated up to sixth order in a cluster approximation and found to give good results concerning the phase boundary and the critical exponent $β$ of the order parameter which is obtained as $β\simeq1.0$.
