title: Surface phase diagram of the three-dimensional kinetic Ising model in an oscillating magnetic field.
abstract: We study the surface phase diagram of the three-dimensional kinetic Ising model below the equilibrium critical point subjected to a periodically oscillating magnetic field. Changing the surface interaction strength as well as the period of the external field, we obtain a nonequilibrium surface phase diagram that in parts strongly resembles the corresponding equilibrium phase diagram, with an ordinary transition, an extraordinary transition, and a surface transition. These three lines meet at a special transition point. For weak surface couplings, however, the surface does not order. These results are found to remain qualitatively unchanged when using different single-spin flip dynamics.
