Abstract: We propose an efficient Monte Carlo algorithm for simulating a “hardly-relaxing” system, in which many replicas with different temperatures are simultaneously simulated and a virtual process exchanging configurations of these replicas is introduced. This exchange process is expected to let the system at low temperatures escape from a local minimum. By using this algorithm the three-dimensional ± J Ising spin glass model is studied. The ergodicity time in this method is found much smaller than that of the multi-canonical method. In particular the time correlation function almost follows an exponential decay whose relaxation time is comparable to the ergodicity time at low temperatures. It suggests that the system relaxes very rapidly through the exchange process even in the low temperature phase.

Finite-Temperature Properties of Three-Dimensional Chiral Helimagnets
TL;DR: In this article, a three-dimensional (3d) classical chiral helimagnet at finite temperatures was studied through analysis of a spin Hamiltonian, defined on a simple cubic lattice and consisting of the Heisenberg exchange, monoaxial Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interactions, and the Zeeman energy due to a magnetic field applied in the plane perpendicular to the helical axis.
