Analysis of the Effect of Different Initial States and Structural Defects on the Characteristics of the Nonequilibrium Critical Behavior of the 3D Ising Model

Abstract

The effect of different initial values m0 of magnetization and structural defects on the nonequilibrium critical behavior of the 3D Ising model have been analyzed numerically using the Monte Carlo method. Analysis of the two-time dependences of the autocorrelation function and dynamic susceptibility has revealed a substantial influence of the initial states on the aging effects that are characterized by anomalous retardation of relaxation and correlation in the system upon an increase in the waiting time. We have studied the violations of the fluctuation–dissipation theorem and calculated the limiting fluctuation–dissipation ratio. It is shown that in the nonequilibrium critical behavior of the 3D Ising model, two universality subclasses corresponding to the evolution of the system from the high-temperature (with m0 = 0) and low-temperature (with m0 = 1) initial states with the values of the limiting fluctuation–dissipation ratio typical of these states can be singled out.
