Numerical transfer-matrix methods are applied to two-dimensional Ising spin systems, in presence of a confining magnetic field which varies with distance $|{\vec x}|$ to a "trap center", proportionally to $(|{\vec x}|/\ell)^p$, $p>0$. On a…
Many non-equilibrium processes on scale-free networks present anomalous critical behavior that is not explained by standard mean-field theories. We propose a systematic method to derive stochastic equations for mean-field order parameters…
We study the dynamical behavior of a square lattice Ising model with exchange and dipolar interactions by means of Monte Carlo simulations. After a sudden quench to low temperatures we find that the system may undergo a coarsening process…
We study the Ising model under a time-varying, but spatially homogeneous, Gaussian random magnetic field. In the Monte Carlo simulations, we go beyond the standard analysis of the order parameter by measuring the magnetization probability…
We investigate the dynamic behavior of spin reversal events in the dilute Ising model, focusing on the influence of static disorder introduced by pinned spins. Our Monte Carlo simulations reveal that in a homogeneous, defect-free system,…
We study the critical behavior of a general class of cubic-symmetric spin systems in which disorder preserves the reflection symmetry $s_a\to -s_a$, $s_b\to s_b$ for $b\not= a$. This includes spin models in the presence of random…
Symmetries represent a fundamental constraint for physical systems and relevant new phenomena often emerge as a consequence of their breaking. An important example is provided by space- and time-translational invariance in statistical…
Homogeneous nucleation of a new phase near an Ising-like critical point of another phase transition is studied. A scaling analysis shows that the free energy barrier to nucleation contains a singular term with the same scaling as the order…
We investigate the zero-temperature quantum phase transition of the random bond Ising chain in a transverse magnetic field. Its critical properties are identical to those of the McCoy-Wu model, which is a classical Ising model in two…
We investigate the behavior of the Ising model on two connected Barabasi-Albert scale-free networks. We extend previous analysis and show that a first order temperature-driven phase transition occurs in such system. The transition between…
A review is given on some recent developments in the theory of the Ising model in a random field. This model is a good representation of a large number of impure materials. After a short repetition of earlier arguments, which prove the…
We consider the Ising model with invisible states on scale-free networks. Our goal is to investigate the interplay between the entropic and topological influence on a phase transition. The former is manifest through the number of invisible…
We explore the cooperative behaviour and phase transitions of interacting networks by studying a simplified model consisting of Ising spins placed on the nodes of two coupled Erd\"os-R\'enyi random graphs. We derive analytical expressions…
After a zero temperature quench, we study the kinetics of the one-dimensional Ising model with long-range interactions between spins at distance $r$ decaying as $r^{-\alpha}$, with $\alpha \le 1$. As shown in our recent study [SciPost Phys…
We study domain distributions in the one-dimensional Ising model subject to zero-temperature Glauber and Kawasaki dynamics. The survival probability of a domain, $S(t)\sim t^{-\psi}$, and an unreacted domain, $Q_1(t)\sim t^{-\delta}$, are…
We consider the non-conserved dynamics of the Ising model on the two-dimensional square lattice, where each spin is influenced preferentially by its East and North neighbours. The single-spin flip rates are such that the stationary state is…
We investigate a growing network model that combines preferential and uniform attachment with two distinct mechanisms of edge deletion. In addition to the usual uniform probability edge deletion, we introduce a novel node-based rule in…
We consider two fully frustrated Ising models: the antiferromagnetic triangular model in a field of strength, $h=H T k_B$, as well as the Villain model on the square lattice. After a quench from a disordered initial state to T=0 we study…
We study the time evolution of spin squeezing in the one-dimensional spin-1/2 XY model subject to a sudden quantum quench of a transverse magnetic field. The initial state is selected from the ground state phase diagram of the model,…
