Finite-size scaling and critical exponents in critical relaxation.

Abstract

We simulate the critical relaxation process of the two-dimensional Ising model with the initial state both completely disordered or completely ordered. Results of a new method to measure both the dynamic and static critical exponents are reported, based on the finite size scaling for the dynamics at the early time. From the time-dependent Binder cumulant, the dynamical exponent $z$ is extracted independently, while the static exponents $\beta/\nu$ and $\nu$ are obtained from the time evolution of the magnetization and its higher moments.
