Low-temperature Glauber dynamics under weak competing interactions

We consider the low but nonzero temperature regimes of the Glauber dynamics in a chain of Ising spins with first- and second-neighbor interactions J<sub>1</sub>, J<sub>2</sub>.  For 0 < -J<sub>2</sub> /|J<sub>1</sub> | < 1 it is known that at T =...

Sumario:We consider the low but nonzero temperature regimes of the Glauber dynamics in a chain of Ising spins with first- and second-neighbor interactions J<sub>1</sub>, J<sub>2</sub>.  For 0 < -J<sub>2</sub> /|J<sub>1</sub> | < 1 it is known that at T = 0  the dynamics is both metastable and noncoarsening, while being always ergodic and coarsening in the limit of T → 0<sup>+</sup> . Based on finite-size scaling analyses of relaxation times, here we argue that in that latter situation the asymptotic kinetics of small or weakly frustrated -J<sub>2</sub> /| J<sub>1</sub>| ratios is characterized by an almost ballistic dynamic exponent z ≃ 1.03(2) and arbitrarily slow velocities of growth. By contrast, for noncompeting interactions the coarsening length scales are estimated to be almost diffusive.
