Projected dynamics for metastable decay in Ising models
arXiv:cond-mat/9703115
Abstract
The magnetization switching dynamics in the kinetic Ising model is projected onto a one-dimensional absorbing Markov chain. The resulting projected dynamics reproduces the direct simulation results with great accuracy. A scheme is proposed to utilize simulation data for small systems to obtain the metastable lifetime for large systems and/or for very weak magnetic fields, for which direct simulation is not feasible.
