When an interacting many-body system, such as a magnet, is driven in time by an external
perturbation, such as a magnetic field, the system cannot respond instantaneously due to …

Aimed at graduate students, this book explores some of the core phenomena in non-
equilibrium statistical physics. It focuses on the development and application of theoretical …

Providing an introduction to the theory of nonlinear Fokker-Planck equations, this book
discusses fundamental properties of transient and stationary solutions, emphasizing the …

Stochastic differential equations play an increasingly important role in modeling the
dynamics of a large variety of systems in the natural sciences, and in technological …

The thermodynamical behaviors of ferromagnetic systems in equilibrium are well studied.
However, the ferromagnetic systems far from equilibrium became an interesting field of …

We study hysteresis for a two-dimensional spin-1/2 nearest-neighbor kinetic Ising
ferromagnet in an oscillating field using Monte Carlo simulations. The period-averaged …

The hysteresis loops of epitaxially grown ultrathin Co films on a Cu (001) surface with
magnetic anisotropy were measured in situ at room temperature under a periodic external …

We have studied, using Monte Carlo (MC) simulation for ferromagnetic Ising systems in one
to four dimensions and solving numerically the mean-field (MF) equation of motion, the …

Dynamic scaling of magnetic hysteresis in a few monolayer thick Fe/Au (001) films was
studied by using surface magneto-optic Kerr effect. For low values of the frequency (Ω) and …

We explore the critical behavior of dynamic phase transitions in ultrathin uniaxial Co films.
Our data demonstrate the occurrence of critical fluctuations, which define the critical regime …
