Abstract:
Cooperative behaviors near the disorder-induced critical point in a random-field Ising model are numerically investigated by analyzing time-dependent magnetization in ordering processes from a special initial condition. We find that the intensity of fluctuations of time-dependent magnetization, chi(t) , attains a maximum value at a time t=tau in a normal phase and that chi(tau) and tau exhibit divergences near the disorder-induced critical point. Furthermore, spin configurations around the time tau are characterized by a length scale, which also exhibits a divergence near the critical point. We estimate the critical exponents that characterize these power-law divergences by using a finite-size scaling method.

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 energy to a nearby...
