Unequal Intra-layer Coupling in a Bilayer Driven Lattice Gas | Choon-Peng Chng

1 Nov 1999 | Journal: | Phys Rev E vol 61, page 4962, (2000) | Subject: | Statistical Mechanics | cond-mat.stat-mech | Abstract: | The system under study is a twin-layered square lattice gas at half-filling, being driven to non-equilibrium steady states by a large, finite `electric’ field. By making intra-layer couplings unequal we were able to extend the phase diagram obtained by Hill, Zia and Schmittmann (1996) and found that the tri-critical point, which separates the phase regions of the stripped (S) phase (stable at positive interlayer interactions J_3), the filled-empty (FE) phase (stable at negative J_3) and disorder (D), is shifted even further into the negative J_3 region as the coupling traverse to the driving field increases. Many transient phases to the S phase at the S-FE boundary were found to be long-lived. We also attempted to test whether the universality class of D-FE transitions under a drive is still Ising. Simulation results suggest a value of 1.75 for the exponent gamma but a value close to 2.0 for the ratio gamma/nu. We speculate that the D-FE second order transition is different from Ising near criticality, where observed first-order-like transitions between FE and its "local minimum" cousin occur during each simulation run. | Source: | arXiv, cond-mat/9910510 | Services: | Forum | Review | PDF | Favorites |
