Abstract

We study, using Monte Carlo dynamics, the time (tt) dependent average magnetization per spin m(t)m(t) behavior of 2-D kinetic Ising model under a binary (±h0\pm h_0) stochastic field h(t)h(t). The time dependence of the stochastic field is such that its average over each successive time interval τ\tau is assured to be zero (without any fluctuation). The average magnetization Q=(1/τ)0τm(t)dtQ=(1/\tau)\int_{0}^{\tau} m(t) dt is considered as order parameter of the system. The phase diagram in (h0,τh_0,\tau) plane is obtained. Fluctuations in order parameter and their scaling properties are studied across the phase boundary. These studies indicate that the nature of the transition is Ising like (static Ising universality class) for field amplitudes h0h_0 below some threshold value h0c(τ)h_0^c(\tau) (dependent on τ\tau values; h0c0h_0^c\rightarrow0 as τ\tau\rightarrow\infty across the phase boundary) . Beyond these h0c(τ)h_0^c (\tau), the transition is no longer continuous.
