Abstract
The susceptibility of a modified version of the one-dimensional kinetic Ising model is obtained and compared with the susceptibility of the Glauber version of this model. Spin-flip rates in the new model are picked so no spin-flip rate vanishes as the temperature vanishes. Despite the more rapid spin flips, the new model exhibits an infinitely slow approach to equilibrium in the low-temperature limit which is similar to the slowing down exhibited in the Glauber model. The new model also exhibits two different decay rates toward equilibrium, which are called the transient and slow decay rates. The Glauber model is characterized by only a single decay rate toward equilibrium.
