In this paper, spin-reorientation critical dynamics in the two-dimensional XY model is investigated with Monte Carlo simulations and theoretical analyses based on the Langevin equation. At the Kosterlitz-Thouless phase transition, dynamic scaling behaviors of the magnetization and the two-time correlation function are carefully analyzed, and critical exponents are accurately determined. When the initial value of the angle between adjacent domains is slightly lower than $\\pi$, a critical exponent is introduced to characterize the abnormal power-law increase of the magnetization in the horizontal direction inside the domain interface, which is measured to be $\\psi=0.0568(8)$. Besides, the relation $\\psi=\\eta/2z$ is analytically deduced from the Langevin dynamics in the long-wavelength approximation, well consistent with numerical results.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2019-08-25T03:17:45.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "two-dimensional xy model", "spin-reorientation critical dynamics", "domain wall", "horizontal direction inside", "abnormal power-law increase" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "publisher": "APS", "journal": "Phys.
