Abstract:
We study the critical dynamics of the three-dimensional Heisenberg model with random cubic anisotropy in the out-of-equilibrium and equilibrium regimes. Analytical approaches based on field theory predict that the universality class of this model is that of the three-dimensional site-diluted Ising model. We have been able to estimate the dynamic critical exponent by working in the equilibrium regime and by computing the integrated autocorrelation times obtaining z=2.50(5) (without taking into account scaling corrections) and z=2.29(11) (by fixing the scaling corrections to that predicted by field theory). In the out-of-equilibrium regime we have focused on the study of the dynamic correlation length, allowing us to compute the dynamic critical exponent obtaining z=2.38(2), which is compatible with the equilibrium ones. Finally, both estimates are also compatible with the most accurate prediction z=2.35(2), from numerical simulations of the 3D site-diluted Ising model, in agreement with the predictions based on field theory.

Stability of Equilibrium Configuration
A stable equilibrium occurs when a system tends to return to its original position when given a small displacement, and the potential energy is at its minimum. An example of a stable equilibrium is when a cantilever beam is fixed at one end and a weight is attached to the other end. If the weight...
