Dynamic exponent for 2D Ising model by power spectra method

Abstract

We consider power spectra for fluctuating quantities at a critical point, P( omega ) varies as omega - phi , where phi is determined by the dynamic exponent z and static exponents specific to the quantity considered. From the magnetization spectra obtained with simulations, z is found to be 2.13+or-0.03 for the two-dimensional Glauber kinetic Ising model, hence in accord with recent Monte Carlo relaxational studies, but at odds with those obtained by series expansion and damage spreading methods. Excellent dynamic finite-size scaling for system sizes L=10 to 128 supports our estimate.
