Abstract

The nonequilibrium Ising model on a restricted scale-free network has been studied with one- and two-spin flip competing dynamics employing Monte Carlo simulations. The dynamics present in the system can be defined by the probability qq in which the one-spin flip process simulate the contact with a heat bath at a given temperature TT, and with a probability (1q1-q) the two-spin flip process mimics the system subjected to an external flux of energy into it. The system network is described by a power-law degree distribution in the form P(k)kαP(k)\sim k^{-\alpha}, and the restriction is made by fixing the maximum, kmk_{m}, and minimum, k0k_{0}, degree on distribution for the whole network size. This restriction keeps finite the second and fourth moment of degree distribution, allowing us to obtain a finite critical point for any value of α\alpha. For these critical points, we have calculated the thermodynamic quantities of the system, such as, the total mNF{m}_{N}^{F} and staggered mNAF{m}_{N}^{AF} magnetizations per spin, susceptibility χN\chi_{N}, and reduced fourth-order Binder cumulant UN{U}_{N}, for several values of lattice size NN and exponent 1α51\le\alpha\le5. Therefore, the phase diagram was built and a self-organization phenomena is observed from the transitions between antiferromagnetic AF to paramagnetic P, and P to ferromagnetic F phases. Using the finite-size scaling theory, we also obtained the critical exponents for the system, and a mean-field critical behavior is observed, exhibiting the same universality class of the system on the equilibrium and out of it.
