Dynamical Transition and Tricritical Points of 3d Kinetic Ising Spin System 

Abstract

The dynamic phase transition has been studied in the three-dimensional kinetic Ising model in the presence of a time-varying(sinusoidal)magnetic field by Monte Carlo simulation.The nature of the transition is characterized by studying the distribution of the order parameter.The system is in contact with an isothermal heat bath at temperature T.We varied the magnitude of the magnetic field,keeping the frequency of the magnetic field unchanged.For the lower values of the environment temperature the transition is discontinuous and it is continuous for higher values of the environment temperature,indicating the existence of a tricritical point (TCP) on the phase boundary.The TCP shifts towards higher temperature region with the decrease of frequency.i.e:TTCP=1.33×e(-ω/30.7)
