Abstract

We have studied the behavior of the one-dimensional ferromagnetic Ising model in contact with a heat bath and subject to an external source of energy. The contact with the heat bath is simulated by a process of Glauber type, while the continuous flux of energy into the system by a process of Kawasaki type. We show, within the dynamical pair approximation that the phase diagram exhibits a line of continuous nonequilibrium transitions between the paramagnetic and antiferromagnetic phases. However, detailed Monte Carlo simulations on the same model show clearly that the only stationary state is the paramagnetic one, whatever is the value of the competition parameter between the Glauber and Kawasaki dynamics.
