Monte Carlo Simulations of Short-time Critical Dynamics with a Conserved Quantity

Abstract

With Monte Carlo simulations, we investigate short-time critical dynamics of the three-dimensional anti-ferromagnetic Ising model with a globally conserved magnetization $m_s$ (not the order parameter). From the power law behavior of the staggered magnetization (the order parameter), its second moment and the auto-correlation, we determine all static and dynamic critical exponents as well as the critical temperature. The universality class of $m_s=0$ is the same as that without a conserved quantity, but the universality class of non-zero $m_s$ is different.
