具有增益和损耗的自旋晶格中的非平衡磁相

Non-equilibrium magnetic phases in spin lattices with gain and loss

Julian Huber, Peter Kirton, Peter Rabl

摘要:

我们研究了非平衡自旋链的磁相,其中相邻晶格位置之间的相干相互作用与交替的增益和损耗过程竞争。这种相干和非相干动力学之间的竞争诱导磁对齐和高度混合的相位之间的过渡,跨越该系统从一个低的变化到一个有效的无限温度状态。我们发现,这些转变的起源可以追溯到宇称-时间反转对称性破缺的动力学效应,这在平衡相变理论中没有对应的。这种机制也导致非常不典型的功能,我们发现一阶过渡没有相共存和混合阶过渡不打破基本的$U(1)$对称性,即使在适当的热力学极限。因此,尽管它的简单,目前的模型大大扩展了非平衡相变的现象超出了通常假设的驱动耗散自旋和相关系统。

英文摘要:

We study the magnetic phases of a non-equilibrium spin chain, where coherent interactions between neighboring lattice sites compete with alternating gain and loss processes. This competition between coherent and incoherent dynamics induces transitions between magnetically aligned and highly mixed phases, across which the system changes from a low- to an effective infinite-temperature state. We show that the origin of these transitions can be traced back to the dynamical effect of parity-time-reversal symmetry breaking, which has no counterpart in the theory of equilibrium phase transitions. This mechanism also results in very atypical features and we find first-order transitions without phase co-existence and mixed-order transitions which do not break the underlying $U(1)$ symmetry, even in the appropriate thermodynamic limit. Thus, despite its simplicity, the current model considerably extends the phenomenology of non-equilibrium phase transitions beyond that commonly assumed for driven-dissipative spins and related systems.
