In our model, bonds are dynamically changing according to a majority rule depending on the set of closest neighbors of each spin pair, which prevents the system from ordering in a full ferromagnetic or antiferromagnetic state. Using a parallel-tempering Monte Carlo algorithm, we find that the model undergoes a continuous phase transition at finite temperature, which belongs to the Ising universality class. The properties of the bond structure and the ground-state entropy are also studied. Finally, we analyze the out-of-equilibrium dynamics which displays typical glassy characteristics at a temperature well below the critical one.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2014-12-09T20:23:55.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "two-dimensional ising model", "out-of-equilibrium dynamics", "critical behavior", "dynamic couplings", "displays typical glassy characteristics" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "journal": "European Physical Journal B", "year": 2014, "month": "Dec", "volume": 87, "number": 12, "pages": 299 }, "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 10, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2014EPJB...87..299P" } } }
