Dynamical percolation transition in two dimensional ANNNI model

Abstract

The dynamical percolation transition of two dimensional Axial Next Nearest Neighbour Ising (ANNNI) model to pulsed magnetic field has been studied by finite size scaling analysis (by Monte Carlo simulation) for various values of frustration parameters, pulse width and temperature (below the corresponding static transition temperature). It has been found that the size of the largest geometrical cluster shows a transition for a critical field amplitude. Although the transition points shift, the critical exponents remain invariant for a wide range of frustration parameters. It is also same as that obtained for the 2d Ising model. This suggests that although the static phase diagrams of these two models differ significantly in various aspects, the dynamical percolation transition of both these models belong to the same universality class.
