The Ising model provides a useful description for physical systems in which a localized variable can take on either of two discrete values. We have investigated the influence of bond and site dilution on the two-dimensional spin-l/2 Ising model as a dynamical model on a honeycomb lattice within the finite cluster approximation. We show that the dilute system presents a striking similarity with the pure system.

1. Introduction The magnetic properties of amorphous and disordered materials have been the object of much interest both from the experimental and from the theoretical point of view. We wish to point out in this paper the relevance of a simple formalism, the finite cluster approximation (FCA), recently introduced by Boccara [l], for the investigation of the dynamical aspects of cooperative systems As the model of such a system, we chose a simple one, namely an Ising spin system in which the interaction of spins with a heat bath induces spanteneous flips. The interaction of spins affects the probability of the transition process of a given spin, which is dependent on the configuration of the surrounding spins as it should be in order to assure the canonical distribution in the equilibrium state, but its functional form is assumed to be the simplest. We discuss in this paper the application of FCA to the kinetic diluted spin- $ Ising model on the honeycomb lattice. The choice of the lattice allows the algebra to be kept simple, but other lattices can be treated in a straightforward way. To make this paper self-contained we review in

section 2 the model and the fundamental equations. The pure spin-g Ising model is introduced and treated in section 3. The diluted model is discussed in section 4. Section 5 contains a brief discussion of the results.

2. We consider a system of interacting lsing spins which are represented by the spin variable (u, ). They also interact with a large heat bath, at a constant temperature which will not be treated explicitly. The heat bath functions only in giving rise to spontaneous flips of spins by exchanging the energy. The probability of flip of the ith spin will be denoted by w( a, ). This depends not only on a, but also on the variables of the surrounding spins, which are suppressed in this notation for the sake of simplicity. We assume no master equation exists for this model

where P(a,, . . . , uN, t) is the probability to find the spins in the configuration (q, . . . , oN ). The first term on the right hand side is the loss of the

probability by flipping out; and the second term the gain by flipping from the opposite direction. Now, the transition probabilities w(a,) must satisfy a certain relation in order that the master equation assures a thermal equilibrium so that we have the equality:

where PO(O,, . . . , Ui,. . . , a,) is the probability in equilibrium. The energy of the spins is assumed to be given by: H=--

and the local field E, is defined

Thus the calculation problem has been reduced to the problem of solving differential equations of the sort, eq. (9), subject to certain initial conditions.

Let us describe the application of FCA to a pure spin-i Ising model with nearest-neighbour interactions. The I-Iamiltonian is: H=

(10)

where J > 0, ui = + 1 and the summation runs over all pairs of nearest-neighbours. If (uo& denotes the mean value of a0 for a given configuration c for all other spins, i.e. when all other spins a, (i f 0) have fixed values, the equation of motion of (u&)) at lattice site 0 in the kinetic Ising model has the form [2]:

where the sum is taken over all the 2N possible configurations of spin system. It is straightforward to see from eqs. (1) and (7) that the expectation value (u,) satisfies the differential equation:

where y is the arbitrary time scale, K = EJJ and the summation is extended over the z nearestneighbours u,( i = 1, 2.. . . , z) of uo. The equation of motion is obtained by averaging tanh( KXi= ,ui) over all configurations. This is a formidable task and the mean field approximation corresponds to the very crude estimate: (tanh[Ki,u,])

= tanh(zKm).

(12)

which corresponds to the probability distribution: (1% i

which still neglects correlations between different spins but takes exactly into account relations like Ui*= 1. To average tanh( KC:= lai) when the ui are distributed according to this approximate probabiltiy law, it is easier to use the following theorem: the set of all bounded real functions of ut, u2, . . . , uz is a 2*-dimensional Euclidean space. The set (1, u1’“” u:, u,u2,..., u,u2 . . . CL), which contains all the products of different spins, is an orthonorma1 basis for the inner product defined by: (fi/f2)

where m(O) is the initial value of m( t ). Fig. 1 shows relaxation for T > T,, T < TCand for T = T,. For small deviations from equilibrium at T> T,, thz relaxation can be described by a simple relaxation time. However, as the temperature approaches the critical point, the linear term of relaxation tends to vanish, so that the higher order term becomes important.

The extension of this method to the less trivial case of random models is straightforward. If. for instance, the reduced interaction K,, are random

agrams for the kinetic diluted Ising models. The pure system has the same qualitative features as the ones obtained by Suzuki et al. [2] and Ilkovic i61. FCA allows one to treat site percolation as easily as bond percolation. The FCA has, however, one essential limitation: one has to know the order parameter.
