Entropy-vanishing Transition and Dynamical Heterogeneities in the Compressible Triangular Lattice Antiferromagnet

چکیده
In an effort to understand the glass transition, the kinetics of a spin model with frustration but no quenched randomness has been analyzed. The phenomenology of the spin model is similar to that of a supercooled liquid undergoing the glass transition. The slow dynamics exhibited by the spins can be associated with the presence of extended string-like structures which demarcate regions of fast spins. A thermodynamic phase transition, with the string density as the order parameter, can be related to the observed glass transition in the spin model.

Monte Carlo study of a compressible Ising antiferromagnet on a triangular lattice.
We have studied the compressible antiferromagnetic Ising Model on a triangular lattice using Monte Carlo simulations. It is found that the coupling to the strain removes the frustration of the rigid model and the simulations show a transition from the disordered to an ordered, striped phase at low temperatures. This transition involves two broken symmetries: the Ising symmetry and a three-state...

We study the q-state Potts antiferromagnet with q = 3 on the honeycomb lattice. Using an analytic argument together with a Monte Carlo simulation, we conclude that this model is disordered for all T ≥ 0. We also calculate the ground state entropy to be S0/kB = 0.507(10) and discuss this result. ∗email: [email protected] ∗∗email: [email protected] The effect of ground s...
متن کاملCritical dynamics of dimers: implications for the glass transition.
The Adam-Gibbs view of the glass transition relates the relaxation time to the configurational entropy, which goes continuously to zero at the so-called Kauzmann temperature. We examine this scenario in the context of a dimer model with an entropy-vanishing phase transition and stochastic loop dynamics. We propose a coarse-grained master equation for the order parameter dynamics which is used t...
متن کاملLocal entropy and structure in a two-dimensional frustrated system.
We calculate the local contributions to the Shannon entropy and excess entropy and use these information theoretic measures as quantitative probes of the order arising from quenched disorder in the diluted Ising antiferromagnet on a triangular lattice. When one sublattice is sufficiently diluted, the system undergoes a temperature-driven phase transition, with the other two sublattices developi...

RbFe(MoO4)2 is a rare example of a nearly two-dimensional Heisenberg antiferromagnet on a triangular lattice. Magnetic resonance spectra and magnetization curves reveal that the system has a layered spin structure with six magnetic sublattices. The sublattices within a layer are arranged in a triangular manner with the magnetization vectors 120° apart. The H-T phase diagram, containing at least...
