Dynamic Approach to the Fully Frustrated XY Model

Abstract

Using Monte Carlo simulations, we systematically investigate the non-equilibrium dynamics of the chiral degree of freedom in the two-dimensional fully frustrated XY model. The critical initial increase of the staggered chiral magnetization is observed. By means of the short-time dynamics approach, we estimate the second order phase transition temperature $T_c$ and all the dynamic and static critical exponents $\theta$, z, $\beta$ and $\nu$.
