Dynamic Simulation of Kosterlitz–Thouless Transition in Two-Dimensional Fully Frustrated XY Model

Relaxation dynamics of the two-dimensional fully frustrated XY model is investigated with Monte Carlo methods. The simulation focuses on the Kosterlitz–Thouless phase transition. From the dynamic scaling behaviour of the magnetization above the transition temperature T KT , the correlating time of the dynamic system is extracted. The transition temperature T KT and static exponent v are then determined.
