High-temperature series expansion for the relaxation times of the two dimensional Ising model

subject

description

We derive the high temperature series expansions for the two relaxation times of the single spin-flip kinetic Ising model on the square lattice. The series for the linear relaxation time τl is obtained with 20 non-trivial terms, and the analysis yields 2.183±0.005 as the value of the critical exponentΔl, which is equal to the dynamical critical exponentz in the two-dimensional case. For the non-linear relaxation time we obtain 15 non-trivial terms, and the analysis leads to the resultsΔnl = 2.08 ± 0.07. The scaling relationΔl −Δnl = β (β being the exponent of the order parameter) seems to be fulfilled, though the error bars ofΔnl are still quite substantial. In addition, we obtain the series expansion of the linear relaxation time on the honeycomb lattice with 22 non-trivial terms. The result for the critical exponent is close to the value obtained on the square lattice, which is expected from universality.
