Critical dynamics of a nonlocal model and critical behavior of perovskite manganites.

Abstract

We investigate the nonconserved critical dynamics of a nonlocal model Hamiltonian incorporating screened long-range interactions in the quartic term. Employing dynamic renormalization group analysis at one-loop order, we calculate the dynamic critical exponent z=2+εf_{1}(σ,κ,n)+O(ε^{2}) and the linewidth exponent w=-σ+εf_{2}(σ,κ,n)+O(ε^{2}) in the leading order of ε, where ε=4-d+2σ, with d the space dimension, n the number of components in the order parameter, and σ and κ the parameters coming from the nonlocal interaction term. The resulting values of linewidth exponent w for a wide range of σ is found to be in good agreement with the existing experimental estimates from spin relaxation measurements in perovskite manganite samples.
