Hamiltonian short-time critical dynamics of the three-dimensional XY model

摘要

The short-time relaxation critical behavior of the XY model on a simple-cubic lattice is investigated within the scope of deterministic Hamiltonian dynamics. The Hamiltonian includes a first-neighbor interaction between planar vectors and a rotational kinetic term from which the motion equations are derived. The dynamical evolution from a fully ordered initial state is followed by employing a symplectic algorithm based on a high-order Trotter-Suzuki decomposition of the time-evolution operator. A finite-time scaling analysis is performed to provide accurate estimates of the critical energy density, the order-parameter relaxation exponent, and the dynamical critical exponent. The estimated critical exponents are consistent with prior theoretical and experimental values reported for the superfluid 4He, extreme type-II superconducting, and Bose-Einstein condensation transitions.
