On the critical dynamics of one-dimensional disordered Ising models

Abstract
The critical dynamics of a disordered Ising ferromagnetic chain with two coupling constants (J1>or=J2>0) is studied for Glauber dynamics. Using a domain wall argument the dynamical critical exponent z is found to be non-universal but independent of the disorder, namely z=1+J1/J2. The problem is formulated in terms of diffusion in a random medium. The diffusion is shown to be normal. Relationships with apparently very different diffusion problems, like the diffusion in hierarchically structured media, are established.
