Abstract
We report the results of Monte Carlo simulations on a two-dimensional Ising model in a sinusoidally oscillating external magnetic field. We find evidence for a dynamical phase transition, supporting the results of recent mean-field and large-N analyses of this model. We also analyze the hysteresis loops as a function of the amplitude and frequency of the applied field, fitting our data to a proposed areal scaling law.
