Study of hysteresis in the ferromagnetic random field 3-state clock model in two and three dimensional periodic lattices at zero temperature and in the presence of dilution and an absorbing state

Abstract

We numerically study hysteresis in the ferromagnetic random field 3-state clock model in two and three dimensional periodic lattices at zero temperature and in the zero frequency limit of the driving field. The on-site quenched disorders are continuous and are drawn froma uniform distribution. We numerically analyzed the effects of disorder on the dynamics of the model and hence on the shape of the hysteresis loops. We also study the model in the presence of dilution and an absorbing state.
