To this end, the Hamiltonian equations of motion are solved numerically for initial states realizing harmonic-like magnetization profiles of small amplitude and with random phases. Above the isotropic point, the resulting dynamics is observed to be diffusive in a hydrodynamic regime starting at comparatively small times and wave lengths. In particular, hydrodynamic regime and diffusion constant are both found to be in quantitative agreement with close-to-equilibrium results from quantum S=1/2 autocorrelations at high temperatures. At the isotropic point, the resulting dynamics turns out to be non-diffusive at the considered times and wave lengths.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v2", "updated": "2012-02-14T10:19:46.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "high temperatures", "spin transport", "xxz model", "classical dynamics", "isotropic point" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "journal": "EPL (Europhysics Letters)", "year": 2012, "month": "Mar", "volume": 97, "number": 6, "pages": 67001 }, "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 6, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2012EL.....9767001S" } } }
