Abstract:
The Ising model does not have strictly defined dynamics, only a spectrum. There are different ways to equip it with time dependence, e.g., the Glauber or the Kawasaki dynamics, which are both stochastic, but it means there is a master equation that can also describe their dynamics. These equations can be derived from the Redfield equation, where the spin system is weakly coupled to a bosonic bath. In this paper, we investigate the temperature dependence of the relaxation time of a Glauber-type master equation, especially in the case of the fully connected, uniform Ising model. The finite-size effects were analyzed with a reduced master equation and the thermodynamic limit with a time-dependent mean field equation.

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...
