Dynamic phase transition properties of kinetic Ising model in the presence of additive white noise

Abstract: Using Monte Carlo simulations based on the Metropolis algorithm, we investigate the dynamic phase transition properties of kinetic Ising model driven by a sinusoidally oscillating magnetic field in the presence of additive white noise. We calculate equilibrium and dynamic properties such as the temperature dependence of average magnetization and magnetic specific heat, as well as the period dependence of dynamic order parameter and scaled variance. After determining the critical period at which order-disorder transition takes place, we perform finite size scaling analysis to extract the exponent ratios, and discuss the variation of these properties in the presence of noisy magnetic field. As a general result, we show that for a noisy system, DPT does not fall into a universality class of the conventional dynamic (and also equilibrium) universality class of the Ising model.
