Contribution

It provides the first detailed analysis of short-time scaling and universality in the dynamic evolution of the fully frustrated XY model.

Findings

Short-time scaling behaviour is observed.

Universality of the dynamic evolution is confirmed.

Critical exponent θ is measured for different temperatures and algorithms.

Abstract

With Monte Carlo methods we investigate the dynamic relaxation of the fully frustrated XY model in two dimensions below or at the Kosterlitz-Thouless phase transition temperature. Special attention is drawn to the sublattice structure of the dynamic evolution. Short-time scaling behaviour is found and universality is confirmed. The critical exponent $\theta$ is measured for different temperature and with different algorithms.
