Monte Carlo renormalization group study of the dynamic scaling of hysteresis in the two-dimensional Ising model

Extending the Monte Carlo renormalization group technique to the two-dimensional Ising model, we find from first principles that the dynamic scaling behavior of hysteresis originates from a rate exponent that characterizes the response of the system to the sweep rate of the field that leads to the hysteresis. The static hysteresis is determined and a scaling law attained. The effect of the temperature is discussed.
