Universality of dynamic scaling for avalanches in disordered Ising systems.
Dynamic scaling for driven disordered systems is investigated in some disordered Ising models. Using Monte Carlo simulation, we find that avalanches in both random-field and random-bond Ising models follow dynamic power-law scaling in short times, and the scaling relations are universal for the systems studied. The probability distribution of the dynamic scaling exponent theta is found to have two peaks centered at theta(1) and theta(2). The short-time dynamic exponent theta(1) is invariant and universal for all avalanches while the exponent theta(2) depends on the strength of disorder. The analytical result for the early stage evolution of breakdown process in the random-field Ising model is obtained using mean-field approximation. Short-time dynamic scaling is also confirmed.
