Study of hysteresis and dynamic phase transition in kinetic ising ferromagnet on regular disordered and fractal lattices

Abstract

The Ising ferromagnet is a bistable system below the critical temperature Tc of ferromagnet to paramagnet transition and has two symmetry broken ordered phases An external oscillating field can push the system to either of the equivalent ordered phases and the other ordered phase remains metastable There are two competing time scales present in the system the time period P of the external field and the mean metastable lifetime h i of the system The average metastable lifetime h i...
