Title: Nonequilibrium phase transitions in stochastic lattice systems: influence of the hopping rates

Journal Article · · J. Stat. Phys.; (United States)
DOI:https://doi.org/10.1007/BF01020647· OSTI ID:6909770

Two-dimensional lattice-gas models with attractive interactions and particleconserving hopping dynamics under the influence of a very large external electric field ..-->..E along a principal axis are studied in the case of different ratios T between the jump rates in the field direction and perpendicular to it using different transition probabilities. We investigate the dependence of the nonequilibrium steady-state properties on the transition mechanism. We find selfsimiliarity with respect to (T,T) and a coexistence curve critical exponent which, for small T, seems independent of T. There is some evidence that this exponent might be halfway between the equilibrium mean field and Onsager's values. A crossover toward mean-field behavior for large T seems also identified.
