4. Frustration: random spin systems E. Vincent, Lecture Notes in Physics 716 (2007), Slow relaxation Novel order We study the universality classes of phase transitions of our model. In the phase diagram (see Fig. 5), there are two types of phase boundaries. To make clear the universality classes of each phase transition, x is set to 3/16 = 0.1875 such that transition temperatures are separated sufficiently. For this parameter, the intermediate phase is the (πππ) ordered phase (see the dotted arrow in Fig. 5). First, we investigate the higher-temperature phase transition from the paramagnetic phase to the (πππ) ordered phase. From the Harris criterion,36 we expect that the higher- temperature phase transition belongs to the three-dimensional Heisenberg universality class. This is because the critical exponent α is negative in the three-dimensional Heisenberg model, and thus the disorder should not affect the universality class. To obtain the transition temperature and confirm the critical exponents, we calculate the correlation function Gc (rc), a b c (a) (b) Random Fan-Out State θ θ FIG. 9.

6. Unconventional behaviors in GFMs Chirality and Z2 vortex Reentrant phase transition ParaAntiferroParaFerro Temperature Slow relaxation T ! 0þ, we expect that nloop must be the maximum value and the spin structure becomes the so-called ffiffiffi 3 p Â ffiffiffi 3 p structure. Next, we study the relaxation of magnetization and nloop. We ready the three types of initial configurations, i.e., (a) theffiffiffi 3 p Â ffiffiffi 3 p structure, (b) the q ¼ 0 structure, and (c) a random structure. The configurations (a) and (b) are typical ground states of the present model, and the configuration (c) corresponds to a state just after quench the temperature from a high temperature. In Fig. 4, the relaxation processes at T ¼ 0:05J are plotted. In the cases (a) and (b), the magnetization is maximum at t ¼ 0, and it relaxes very fast to uniformly magnetized ordered state. The relaxation of magnetization to the equilibrium is depicted in the inset. In contrast, in the case (c), i.e., from a random state, it takes some time to realize the uniformly magnetized state. Thus we regard the relaxation time in the case (c) as the intrinsic relaxation time of the magnetization mag. 0 [×10 +7 ] 0 0.04 0.08 0.12 0.16 0 5000 10000 0 0.04 0.08 0.12 0.16 Monte Carlo Step (MCS) Magnetization Monte Carlo Step (MCS) Magnetization 0 [×10 +7 ] 0 0.5 1 Monte Carlo Step (MCS) NumberofWeathervaneLoops (a) (c) (b) 54321 54321 Fig. 4.

Lines are just visual guides and error bars in all figures are omitted for clarity since their sizes are smaller than the symbol size. of analysis. One is the finite-size scaling and the other is a naive analysis of the probability distribution P(E; Tc(L)). The scaling relations for the first-order phase transition in d-dimensional systems [82] are given by Tc(L) = aL−d + Tc, (9) Cmax(L) ∝ ( E)2 Ld 4T 2 c , (10) where Tc and E are, respectively, the transition temperature and the latent heat in the thermodynamic limit. The coefficient of the first term in Eq. (9), a, is a constant. Figures 4(e) and 4(f) show the scaling plots for Tc(L)/J1 and Cmax(L), respectively. Figure 4(e) indicates that Tc is a nonzero value in the thermodynamic limit. Figure 4(f) shows an almost linear dependence of Cmax(L) as a function of L3 . However, using the finite-size scaling, we cannot obtain the transition temperature and latent heat in the thermodynamic limit with high accuracy because of the strong finite-size effect. Next we directly calculate the size dependence of the width between bimodal peaks of the energy distribution shown in Fig. 4(d). The width for the system size L is represented by E(L) = E+(L) − E−(L), where E+(L) and E−(L) are the averages of the Gaussian function in the high-temperature phase and that in the low-temperature phase, respectively. In the thermodynamic limit, each Gaussian function becomes the δ function and then E(L) converges to E [82]. The inset of Fig. 4(d) shows the size dependence of the width E(L)/J1. The width enlarges as value in the thermodynamic limit. Figure 5(a) shows the temperature dependence of the largest value of structure factors S(k∗ ) calculated by six wave vectors in Eq. (4). Here S(k∗ ) becomes zero in the thermodynamic limit above the first- order phase transition temperature. The structure factor S(k∗ ) becomes a nonzero value at the first-order phase transition temperature. Moreover, as temperature decreases, the structure factor S(k∗ ) increases. The structure factors at kz = 0 in the first Brillouin zone at several temperatures for L = 40 are also shown in Fig. 5(b). As mentioned in Sec. II, the spiral-spin structure represented by k is the same as that represented by −k in the Heisenberg models.

25. Conclusion We investigated unconventional phase transition behavior in geometrically frustrated systems. 2D 3D SO(3)xZ2 SO(3)xC3 - Z2 vortex dissociation - 2nd-order PT w/ Z2 breaking (2-dim. Ising universality) at the same temperature. - 1st-order PT w/ SO(3)xC3 breaking - increases, decreases.J E
