Spin glass behavior in a random Coulomb antiferromagnet

Published Sep 21, 2016• 5 citations

Abstract

We study spin glass behavior in a random Ising Coulomb antiferromagnet in two and three dimensions using Monte Carlo simulations. In two dimensions, we find a transition at zero temperature with critical exponents consistent with those of the Edwards-Anderson model, though with large uncertainties. In three dimensions, evidence for a finite-temperature transition, as occurs in the Edwards-Anderson model, is rather weak. This may indicate that the sizes are too small to probe the asymptotic critical behavior, or possibly that the universality class is different from that of the Edwards-Anderson model and has a lower critical dimension equal to three.

Universality in three-dimensional Ising spin glasses: Nonequilibrium dynamics from Monte Carlo simulations

FEDERICO J. ROMÁ

The nonequilibrium dynamics of the three-dimensional Edwards-Anderson spin-glass model with different bond distributions is investigated by means of Monte Carlo simulation. A numerical method is used to determine the critical temperature and the scaling exponents of the correlation and the integrated response functions. The results obtained agree with those calculated in equilibrium simulations and suggest that the universality class does not depend on the exact form of the bond distribution.

Spin-glass transition in the random anisotropy axis model

Amitabha Chakrabarti

The critical behavior of the Random Anisotropy Axis model (RAM) is studied by the Monte Carlo simulation method in the limit of infinite anisotropy. Finite size scaling analysis of the data for equilibrium averages strongly suggests a zero temperature critical point in two dimensions and a finite temperature phase transition in three dimensions. The values of the critical exponents in both two and three dimensions indicate that RAM belongs to the same universality class as that of short-range Ising spin-glass models.The critical behavior of the Random Anisotropy Axis model (RAM) is studied by the Monte Carlo simulation method in the limit of infinite anisotropy.

Critical behavior of three-dimensional Ising spin glass models

Martin Hasenbusch B, Andrea Pelissetto C, Ettore Vicari

We perform high-statistics Monte Carlo simulations of three-dimensional Ising spin glass models on cubic lattices of size $L$ : the $\ifmmode\pm\else\textpm\fi{}J$ (Edwards-Anderson) Ising model for two values of the disorder parameter $p$ , $p=0.5$ and $p=0.7$ (up to $L=28$ and $L=20$ , respectively), and the bond-diluted bimodal model for bond-occupation probability ${p}_{b}=0.45$ (up to $L=16$ ). The finite-size behavior of the quartic cumulants at the critical point allows us to check very accurately that these models belong to the same universality class. Moreover, it allows us to estimate the scaling-correction exponent $\ensuremath{\omega}$ related to the leading irrelevant operator: $\ensuremath{\omega}=1.0(1)$. Shorter Monte Carlo simulations of the bond-diluted bimodal models at ${p}_{b}=0.7$ and ${p}_{b}=0.35$ (up to $L=10$ ) and of the Ising spin glass model with Gaussian bond distribution (up to $L=8$ ) also support the existence of a unique Ising spin glass universality class. A careful finite-size analysis of the Monte Carlo data which takes into account the analytic and the nonanalytic corrections to scaling allows us to obtain precise and reliable estimates of the critical exponents. We obtain $\ensuremath{\nu}=2.45(15)$ and $\ensuremath{\eta}=\ensuremath{-}0.375(10)$.We perform high-statistics Monte Carlo simulations of three-dimensional Ising spin glass models on cubic lattices of size $L$: the $\ifmmode\pm\else\textpm\fi{}J$ (Edwards-Anderson) Ising model for two values of the disorder parameter $p$, $p=0.5$ and $p=0.7$ (up to $L=28$ and $L=20$, respectively), and the bond-diluted bimodal model for bond-occupation probability ${p}_{b}=0.45$ (up to $L=16$).

Ferromagnetic-glassy transitions in three-dimensional Ising spin glasses

Giacomo Ceccarelli, Andrea Pelissetto C, Ettore Vicari

We investigate the ferromagnetic-glassy transitions that separate the low-temperature ferromagnetic and spin-glass phases in the temperature-disorder phase diagram of three-dimensional Ising spin-glass models. For this purpose, we consider the cubic-lattice $\ifmmode\pm\else\textpm\fi{}J$ (Edwards-Anderson) Ising model with bond distribution $P(J)=p\ensuremath{\delta}(J\ensuremath{-}1)+(1\ensuremath{-}p)\ensuremath{\delta}(J+1)$, and present a numerical Monte Carlo study of the critical behavior along the line that marks the onset of ferromagnetism. The finite-size scaling analysis of the Monte Carlo data shows that the ferromagnetic-glassy transition line is slightly reentrant. As a consequence, for an interval of the disorder parameter $p$ , around $p\ensuremath{\approx}0.77$, the system presents a low-temperature glassy phase, an intermediate ferromagnetic phase, and a high-temperature paramagnetic phase. Along the ferromagnetic-glassy transition line, magnetic correlations show a universal critical behavior with critical exponents $\ensuremath{\nu}=0.96(2)$ and $\ensuremath{\eta}=\ensuremath{-}0.39(2)$. The hyperscaling relation $\ensuremath{\beta}/\ensuremath{\nu}=(1+\ensuremath{\eta})/2$ is satisfied at the transitions, so that $\ensuremath{\beta}/\ensuremath{\nu}=0.305(10)$. This magnetic critical behavior represents a new universality class for ferromagnetic transitions in Ising-type disordered systems. Overlap correlations are apparently not critical and show a smooth behavior across the transition.We investigate the ferromagnetic-glassy transitions that separate the low-temperature ferromagnetic and spin-glass phases in the temperature-disorder phase diagram of three-dimensional Ising spin-glass models.
