Phase Diagram of XY Model with Nematic Coupling on the Simple Cubic Lattice

Jian-Ping Lü, Qing‐Hu Chen

Using cluster Monte Carlo method, we numerically investigate the criticality in the XY model with nematic coupling on the simple cubic lattice. We determine critical lines belong to the three-dimensional XY universality class in variable of θ (2θ) between the XY-ferromagnetic (nematic) and disordered states. Furthermore, the phase transition between the XY-ferromagnetic and the nematic states is found to be in the three-dimensional Ising universality class. The critical points are determined from the intersections of Binder ratios for various system sizes. With two sets of critical points obtained, we finally construct the phase diagram on the Δ-J plane.

Phase Transition in the 2D XY Model with 3-Fold Nematic Interactions

Nguyễn Thị Minh Huyền, Lưu Bích Linh, Bui Thi Toan Thu +5 more

In this work the results of the study on a generalization of the XY model with an additional q-fold nematic-like term through Monte Carlo simulations in two dimensions (2D) have been presented. While the conventional 2D XY model has only integer vortexes, the generalized 2D XY model has both integer and non-integer 1/q vortexes, making the phase diagram of the generalized 2D XY model is much richer than that of the conventional 2D XY model. Here, we located the phase transition between the disordered phase (P), the quasi-long-range order phase (F), and the nematic phase (N) for the case of q = 3. We provided the numerical evidence to clarify the N−F phase transition of either the first-ordered or second-ordered phase transition. The results showed that the N−F phase transition is the second-ordered, not the first-order phase transition.
