    From single-file diffusion to two-dimensional cage diffusion and generalization of the totally asymmetric simple exclusion process to higher dimensions

    Full text link
    A two-dimensional constrained diffusion model is presented and characterized by numerical simulations. The model generalizes the one-dimensional single-file diffusion model by considering a cage diffusion constraint induced by neighboring particles, which is a more stringent condition than volume exclusion. Using numerical simulations we characterize the diffusion process and we particularly show that asymmetric transition probabilities lead to the two-dimensional Kardar-Parisi-Zhang universality class. Therefore, this very simple model effectively generalizes the one-dimensional totally asymmetric simple exclusion process to higher dimensions.Fil: Centres, Paulo Marcelo.

    We found some misprints in our paper. Since some of them are in equations, we believe it is necessary to add this erratum.The conclusions of our work remain unchanged in spite of these corrections.Fil: Ferrero, Ezequiel E..

    Correlation between domain wall creep parameters of thin ferromagnetic films

    No full text
    Designing magnetic materials for potential applications based on domain wall motion requires the knowledge of the relationship between physical properties and phenomenological parameters characterizing domain wall dynamics. We address in this work the study of magnetic-field-driven domain wall motion within the creep regime on a prototypical metallic Pt/Co/Pt stack with perpendicular magnetic anisotropy. By controlling the deposition characteristics, different magnetic properties are achieved, giving rise to different creep parameters. Those phenomenological parameters are found to collapse in a single linear dependence for all samples based on the same material. Moreover, using data in the literature, we show that the same behavior is observed in Au/Co/Au and Tb/Fe based samples. We therefore obtain a pair of global parameters that fully characterize the family of domain wall velocity-field curves within the creep regime for each group of samples, which can be used as input for the optimization of materials.Fil: Quinteros, Cynthia Paula.

    Second-order magnetic critical points at finite magnetic fields: Revisiting Arrott plots

    Full text link
    The so-called Arrott plot, which consists in plotting H/M against M2, with H the applied magnetic field and M the magnetization, is used to extract valuable information in second-order magnetic phase transitions. Besides, it is widely accepted that a negative slope in the Arrott plot is indicative of a first-order magnetic transition. This is known as the Banerjee criterion. In consequence, the zero-field transition temperature T∗ is reported as the characteristic first-order transition temperature. By carefully analyzing the mean-field Landau model used for studying first-order magnetic transitions, we show in this work that T∗ corresponds in fact to a triple point where three first-order lines meet. More importantly, this analysis reveals the existence of two symmetricalsecond-order critical points at finite magnetic field (Tc,±Hc). We then show that a modified Arrott plot can be used to obtain information about these second-order critical points. To support this idea we analyze experimentaldata on La2/3Ca1/3MnO3 and discuss an estimate for the location of the triple point and the second-order critical pointsFil: Bustingorry, Sebastián.

    Nonequilibrium dynamics of the three-dimensional Edwards-Anderson spin-glass model with Gaussian couplings: strong heterogeneities and the backbone picture

    Full text link
    We numerically study the three-dimensional Edwards-Anderson model with Gaussian couplings, focusing on the heterogeneities arising in its nonequilibrium dynamics.  Results are analyzed in terms of the backbone picture, which links strong dynamical heterogeneities to spatial heterogeneities emerging from the correlation of local rigidity of the bond network.  Different two-times quantities as the flipping time distribution and the correlation and response functions, are evaluated over the full system and over high- and low-rigidity regions.  We find that the nonequilibrium dynamics of the model is highly correlated to spatial heterogeneities.  Also, we observe a similar physical behavior to that previously found in the Edwards-Anderson model with a bimodal (discrete) bond distribution.  Namely, the backbone behaves as the main structure that supports the spin-glass phase, within which a sort of domain-growth process develops, while the complement remains in a paramagnetic phase, even below the critical temperature.Fil: Romá, Federico José.

    Thermal rounding exponent of the depinning transition of an elastic string in a random medium

    Full text link
    We study numerically thermal effects at the depinning transition of an elastic string driven in a two-dimensional uncorrelated disorder potential. The velocity of the string exactly at the sample critical force is shown to behave as V∼Tψ, with ψ the thermal rounding exponent. We show that the computed value of the thermal rounding exponent, ψ=0.15, is robust and accounts for the different scaling properties of several observables both in the steady state and in the transient relaxation to the steady state. In particular, we show the compatibility of the thermal rounding exponent with the scaling properties of the steady-state structure factor, the universal short-time dynamics of the transient velocity at the sample critical force, and the velocity scaling function describing the joint dependence of the steady-state velocity on the external drive and temperature.Fil: Bustingorry, Sebastián.

    Universal depinning transition of domain walls in ultrathin ferromagnets

    Full text link
    We present a quantitative and comparative study of magnetic-field-driven domain-wall depinning transition in different ferromagnetic ultrathin films over a wide range of temperature. We reveal a universal scaling function accounting for both drive and thermal effects on the depinning transition, including critical exponents. The consistent description we obtain for both the depinning and subthreshold thermally activated creep motion should shed light on the universal glassy dynamics of thermally fluctuating elastic objects pinned by disordered energy landscapes.Fil: Diaz Pardo, R..

    Modeling magnetization curves in magnetic thin films with striped patterns

    Full text link
    In this work, we study magnetic thin films presenting magnetic stripe patterns. A fingerprint of such domains is a linear behavior of the in-plane magnetization curves below a given saturation field. We present free energy models for the in-plane magnetization curves which permit us to extract key geometrical information about the stripe patterns, such as the maximum canted angle of the magnetization and the domain wall width. As an example, we discuss in this work magnetization curves for Fe1-xGax magnetic films which present a stripe pattern with a period of 160 nm and we found a typical maximum canted angle of and a domain wall width around 30 nm.Fil: Di Pietro Martínez, Marisel.

    Universal Pinning Energy Barrier for Driven Domain Walls in Thin Ferromagnetic Films

    Full text link
    We report a comparative study of magnetic field driven domain wall motion in thin films made of different magnetic materials for a wide range of field and temperature. The full thermally activated creep motion, observed below the depinning threshold, is shown to be described by a unique universal energy barrier function. Our findings should be relevant for other systems whose dynamics can be modeled by elastic interfaces moving on disordered energy landscapes.Fil: Jeudy, V.. Université Paris-Saclay; Francia.
