Effect of the nature of randomness on quenching dynamics of the Ising model on complex networks.
Randomness is known to affect the dynamical behavior of many systems to a large extent. In this paper we investigate how the nature of randomness affects the dynamics in a zero-temperature quench of the Ising model on two types of random networks. In both networks, which are embedded in a one-dimensional space, the first-neighbor connections exist and the average degree is 4 per node. In random model A the second-neighbor connections are rewired with a probability p, while in random model B additional connections between neighbors at a Euclidean distance l(l > 1) are introduced with a probability P(l) proportionally l(-α). We find that for both models, the dynamics leads to freezing such that the system gets locked in a disordered state. The point at which the disorder of the nonequilibrium steady state is maximum is located. The behavior of dynamical quantities such as residual energy, order parameter, and persistence are discussed and compared. Overall, the behavior of physical quantities are similar, although subtle differences are observed due to the difference in the nature of randomness.
