title: Nonequilibrium phase transition in an exactly solvable driven Ising model with friction.
abstract: A driven Ising model with friction due to magnetic correlations was proposed by Kadau [Phys. Rev. Lett. 101, 137205 (2008)]. The nonequilibrium phase transition present in this system is investigated in detail using analytical methods as well as Monte Carlo simulations. In the limit of high driving velocities v the model shows mean-field behavior due to dimensional reduction and can be solved exactly for various geometries. The simulations are performed with three different single spin-flip rates: the common Metropolis and Glauber rates as well as a multiplicative rate. Due to the nonequilibrium nature of the model all rates lead to different critical temperatures at v>0, while the exact solution matches the multiplicative rate. Finally, the crossover from Ising to mean-field behavior as function of velocity and system size is analyzed in one and two dimensions.
