Abstract

We investigate the dynamical relaxation behavior of the two-point correlation in extended XY models with a gapless phase after quenches from various initial states. Specifically, we study the XY chain with gapless phase induced by the additional interactions: Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction and XZY-YZX type of three-site interaction. When quenching from the gapped phase, we observe that the additional interactions have no effect on the relaxation behavior. The relaxation behavior is and for the quench to the commensurate phase and the incommensurate phase, respectively. However, when quenching from the gapless phase, we demonstrate that the scaling behavior of is changed to for the quench to the commensurate phase, and the decay of follows or for the quench to the incommensurate phase depending on the parameters of pre-quench Hamiltonian. We also establish the dynamical phase diagrams based on the dynamical relaxation behavior of in the extended XY models.
