Inter-Event Time Power Laws in Heterogeneous Systems
Federico Ettori, Timothy J. Sluckin, Paolo Biscari
We investigate the dynamic behavior of spin reversal events in the dilute Ising model, focusing on the influence of static disorder introduced by pinned spins. Our Monte Carlo simu…
Dynamic Phase Transition in 2D Ising Systems: Effect of Anisotropy and Defects
Federico Ettori, Thibaud Coupé, Timothy J. Sluckin +2
We investigate the dynamic phase transition in two-dimensional Ising models whose equilibrium characteristics are influenced by either anisotropic interactions or quenched defects.…
The Effect of Defects on Magnetic Droplet Nucleation
Federico Ettori, Timothy J. Sluckin, Paolo Biscari
Defects and impurities strongly affect the timing and the character of the (re)ordering or disordering transitions of thermodynamic systems captured in metastable states. In this p…
Molecular field theory for biaxial smectic A liquid crystals
Tung B. T. To, Timothy J. Sluckin, Geoffrey R. Luckhurst
Thermotropic biaxial nematic phases seem to be rare, but biaxial smectic A phases less so. Here we use molecular field theory to study a simple two-parameter model, with one parame…
A computational mean-field model of interacting non-collinear classical spins
Ondrej Hovorka, Timothy J. Sluckin
Mean-field approximation is often used to explore the qualitative behaviour of phase transitions in classical spin models before employing computationally costly methods such as th…
Resolving anomalies in the critical exponents of FePt using finite-size scaling in magnetic fields
Jonathon Waters, Denis Kramer, Timothy J Sluckin +1
FePt is the primary material being considered for the development of information storage technologies based on heat-assisted magnetic recording (HAMR). A practical realization of H…
