Abstract:
The Monte Carlo study of the nonequilibrium critical evolution of structurally disordered anisotropic magnetic materials from the low-temperature initial state with the reduced magnetization
$m_0=1$ is performed within the broad range of spin densities,
$p=1.0$,
$0.95$,
$0.8$,
$0.6$, and
$0.5$. It is shown that, in such systems, the pinning of domain walls by structural defects occurring when the evolution starts from the low-temperature state leads to significant changes in the nonequilibrium “aging” and “memory” effects in comparison to those characteristic of the “pure” system. As a result, in the long-term regime at times
$t-t_w\gg t_w\gg1$, an anomalously strong slowing down in the correlation effects is revealed. It is shown that a decrease in the autocorrelation function with time occurs according to a power law typical of the critical relaxation of the magnetization in contrast to a usual scaling dependence. Eventually, the limiting value of the fluctuation-dissipation ratio X
$^\infty$ for the structurally disordered systems with
$p<1$ vanishes, whereas for the pure system, we have X
$^\infty=0.784(5)$. The nonequilibrium critical “superaging” stage is found. This stage is characterized by the critical exponent
$\mu=2.30(6)$ for weakly disordered systems and by
$\mu=2.80(7)$ for the systems with strong disorder.
