Abstract

The one-dimensional ferromagnetic Ising model with open boundary conditions within the Glauber dynamics is studied. From the behavior of the order parameter, the explicit scaling form of the relaxation time is obtained. For finite systems, the dynamical critical exponent is z=1, in contrast to the value of the infinite open chain (z=2).
