Reentrant behavior of the spinodal curve in a nonequilibrium ferromagnet
Reentrant behavior of the spinodal curve in a nonequilibrium ferromagnet
The metastable behavior of a kinetic Ising-type ferromagnetic model system in which a generic type of microscopic disorder induces nonequilibrium steady states is studied by computer simulation and a mean-field approach. We pay attention, in particular, to the spinodal curve or intrinsic coercive field that separates the metastable region from …
