We introduce a thermal dynamics for the Ising ferromagnet where the energy variations occurring within the system exhibit a diffusive character typical of thermalizing agents such as e.g. localized excitations. Time evolution is provided by…
The study by Glauber of the time-dependent statistics of the Ising chain is extended to the case where each spin is influenced unequally by its nearest neighbours. The asymmetry of the dynamics implies the failure of the detailed balance…
We consider a one-dimensional classical ferromagnetic Ising model when it is quenched from a low temperature to zero temperature in finite time using Glauber or Kawasaki dynamics. Most of the previous work on finite-time quenches assume…
