Double stochastic resonance in the mean-field $q$-state clock models

Statistical Mechanics 2012-08-27 v1

Abstract

A magnetic system with a phase transition at temperature TcT_c may exhibit double resonance peaks under a periodic external magnetic field because the time scale matches the external frequency at two different temperatures, one above TcT_c and the other below TcT_c. We study the double resonance phenomena for the mean-field qq-state clock model based on the heat-bath-typed master equation. We find double peaks as observed in the kinetic Ising case (q=2q=2) for all q4q\ge 4, but for the three-state clock model (q=3q=3), the existence of double peaks is possible only above a certain external frequency since it undergoes a discontinuous phase transition.
