Abstract:
Critical short-time dynamics in a bond-diluted Ising model is investigated in this paper using numerical simulations. The effective static and dynamic critical exponents determined by the power-law scaling are found to depend strongly on bond concentration and initial state. For weak disorder, the short-time scaling relations for the system quenched from high temperature are observed to hold. In the strong dilution limit, multiscaling relations for the system starting from the ordered state are found. Corrections to the short-time scaling are proposed. The effect of disorder on critical short-time dynamics is discussed.

Atomic Nuclei: Types of Nuclear Relaxation
In spin–lattice or longitudinal relaxation, the excited spins exchange energy with the surrounding lattice as they return to the lower energy level. Among several mechanisms that contribute to spin–lattice relaxation, magnetic dipolar interactions are significant. Here, the excited nucleus transfers...
