ferromagnet in a sinusoidally oscillating field, using Monte Carlo simulations and analytical …

Absence of first-order transition and tricritical point in the dynamic phase diagram of a spatially extended bistable system in an oscillating field

G Korniss, PA Rikvold, MA Novotny - Physical Review E, 2002 - APS
It has been well established that spatially extended, bistable systems that are driven by an
oscillating field exhibit a nonequilibrium dynamic phase transition (DPT). The DPT occurs …
