Abstract

We use Monte Carlo (MC) methods to simulate a two-dimensional (2D) bond-diluted Ising model on the square lattice, which has frustration between nearest-neighbor interaction J1 and next-nearest-neighbor interaction J2. In this study, we use the parallel tempering algorithm to study thermodynamics for different diluted ratios x [where x=N(J2)diluted/2N, where N denotes the system volume] and present a phase diagram. The presence of frustration and disorder results in a spin-glass phase, which exists between the stripe antiferromagnetic phase and Néel phase. We present a ground-state energy of T0 and the size dependence of the Edwards-Anderson (EA) order parameter for the spin-glass phase. By scaling the mean energy and EA order parameter from the simulated annealing with the Kibble-Zurek mechanism, we obtain two different dynamic exponents, zE and zq, for the spin-glass phase. Experimentally, this model has a close relationship with the FeAs plane of the iron-based superconductor BaFe2(As1xPx)2, where a spin-glass-like phase was found.
