The dynamic critical properties of the spin-2 Ising model on a bilayer square lattice

The spin-2 Ising model is investigated for the ferromagnetic/ferromagnetic (FM/FM), antiferromagnetic/ferromagnetic (AFM/FM) and antiferromagnetic/antiferromagnetic (AFM/AFM) interactions on the two-layer square lattice by using the Glauber-type stochastic dynamics. The system is in contact with a heat bath at temperature T, and the exchange of energy with the heat bath occurs via one-spin flip. By employing the Master equation and Glauber transition rates, the dynamic equations of the system are obtained. These equations are solved by using the numerical methods. First, we investigate the average order parameters as a function of the time to find the phases in the system. Then, the temperature-dependence of the dynamic order parameters is examined to obtain the dynamic phase transition temperatures. The dynamic phase diagrams are presented on the different planes. According to the values of the system parameters, a variety of dynamic critical points such as tricritical point, triple point, quadruple point, critical end point, double critical end point, zero-temperature critical point, multicritical point and tetracritical point are obtained. The reentrant behavior is seen in the system for the AFM/AFM interaction. Finally, we also investigate the influence of the oscillating field frequency on the dynamic phase diagrams in detail.
