Magnetization curves as probes of Monte Carlo simulation of nonequilibrium states.

The influence of parameter choice in the Monte Carlo simulation of zero-field-cooled-field-cooled magnetization curves of granular systems is analyzed. The main simulation techniques are summarized and compared, in terms of the determination of macroscopic quantities usually associated with nanoscopic details of the sample.

Finite driving rates in interface models of Barkhausen noise.

We consider a single-interface model for the description of Barkhausen noise in soft ferromagnetic materials. Previously, the model was used only in the adiabatic regime of infinitely slow field ramping. We introduce finite driving rates and analyze the scaling of event sizes and durations for different regimes of the driving rate. Coexistence of intermittency, with nontrivial scaling laws, and finite-velocity interface motion is observed for high enough driving rates. Power spectra show a decay approximately omega(-t), with t<2 for finite driving rates, revealing the influence of the internal structure of avalanches.

Density mismatch in thin diblock copolymer films

Thin films of diblock copolymer subject to gravitational field are simulated by means of a cell dynamical system model. The difference in density of the two sides of the molecule and the presence of the field causes the formation of lamellar patterns with orientation parallel to the confining walls even when they are neutral. The concentration profile of those films is analyzed in the weak segregation regime and a functional form for the profile is proposed.
