Spin-dynamics simulations of the XY vector Blume-Emery-Griffiths model in three dimensions.
We present extensive Monte Carlo spin-dynamics simulations of the vector Blume-Emery-Griffiths model with three-dimensional spins on a simple cubic lattice and periodic boundary conditions. For a range of Hamiltonian parameters, this model reproduces the phase diagram topology of the one experimentally observed for bulk mixtures of 3He-4He . Highly efficient decomposition time integration algorithms have been used to obtain the evolution of the equations of motion from which we have computed the dynamic structure factor S(q,omega) close to critical and tricritical points. The dispersion relation and the corresponding dynamic exponents have been obtained in the critical and multicritical transitions. We find that the dynamic critical exponents for in-plane and out-of-plane fluctuations are the same at the tricritical point but are in fact different along the critical line.
