Domain Wall Dynamics near a Quantum Critical Point

Materials Science 2007-11-15 v1 Statistical Mechanics

Abstract

We study the real-time domain-wall dynamics near a quantum critical point of the one-dimensional anisotropic ferromagnetic spin 1/2 chain. By numerical simulation, we find the domain wall is dynamically stable in the Heisenberg-Ising model. Near the quantum critical point, the width of the domain wall diverges as (Δ1)1/2(\Delta -1) ^{-1/2}.
