Ising Metamagnet Driven by Propagating Magnetic Field Wave: Nonequilibrium Phases and Transitions
arXiv:1410.6983 · doi:10.1016/j.jmmm.2015.01.072
Abstract
The nonequilibrium responses of Ising metamagnet (layered antiferromagnet) to the propagating magnetic wave are studied by Monte Carlo simulation. Here, the spatio-temporal variations of magnetic field keeps the system away from equilibrium. The sublattice magnetisations show dynamical symmetry breaking in the low temperature ordered phase. The nonequilibrium phase transitions are studied from the temperature dependences of dynamic staggered order parameter, its derivative and the dynamic specific heat. The transitions are marked by the peak position of dynamic specific heat and the position of dip of the derivative of dynamic staggered order parameter. It is observed that, for lower values of the amplitudes of the propagating magnetic field, if the system is cooled from a high temperature, it undergoes a phase transition showing sharp peak of dynamic specific heat and sharp dip of the derivative of the dynamic staggered order parameter. However, for higher values of the amplitude of the propagating magnetic field, system exhibits multiple phase transitions. A comprehensive phase diagram is also plotted. The transition, for vanishingly small value of the amplitude of the propagating wave, is very close to that for equilibrium ferro-para phase transition of cubic Ising ferromagnet.
