Nonequilibrium critical dynamics of ferromagnetic spin systems

Statistical Mechanics 2009-11-07 v1

Abstract

We use simple models (the Ising model in one and two dimensions, and the spherical model in arbitrary dimension) to put to the test some recent ideas on the slow dynamics of nonequilibrium systems. In this review the focus is on the temporal evolution of two-time quantities and on the violation of the fluctuation-dissipation theorem, with special emphasis given to nonequilibrium critical dynamics.
