A Monte Carlo Study of Dynamic Phase Transitions Observed in the Kinetic S = 1 Ising Model on Nonregular Lattices.

Abstract

In the present paper, we discuss the thermodynamic and dynamic phase transition properties of the kinetic Blume-Capel model with spin-1, defined on non-regular lattices, namely decorated simple cubic, decorated triangular, and decorated square (Lieb) lattice geometries. Benefiting from the recent results obtained for the thermodynamic phase transitions of the aforementioned lattice topologies [Azhari, M. and Yu, U., J. Stat. Mech. (2022) 033204], we explore the variation of the dynamic order parameter, dynamic scaling variance, and dynamic magnetic susceptibility as functions of the amplitude, bias, and period of the oscillating field sequence. According to the simulations, a second-order dynamic phase transition takes place at a critical field period for the systems with zero bias. A particular emphasis has also been devoted to metamagnetic anomalies emerging in the dynamic paramagnetic phase. In this regard, the generic two-peak symmetric behavior of the dynamic response functions has been found in the slow critical dynamics (i.e. dynamic paramagnetic) regime. Our results yield that the characteristics of the dynamic phase transitions observed in the kinetic Ising model on regular lattices can be extended to such non-regular lattices with a larger spin value.
