Abstract

We analyze changes in the thermodynamic properties of a spin system when it passes from the classical two-dimensional Ising model to the spin glass model, where spin-spin interactions are random in their values and signs. Formally, the transition reduces to a gradual change in the amplitude of the multiplicative noise (distributed uniformly with a mean equal to one) superimposed over the initial Ising matrix of interacting spins. Considering the noise, we obtain analytical expressions that are valid for lattices of finite sizes. We compare our results with the results of computer simulations performed for square N = L × L lattices with linear dimensions L = 50 ÷ 1000. We find experimentally the dependencies of the critical values (the critical temperature, the internal energy, entropy and the specific heat) as well as the dependencies of the energy of the ground state and its magnetization on the amplitude of the noise. We show that when the variance of the noise reaches one, there is a jump of the ground state from the fully correlated state to an uncorrelated state and its magnetization jumps from 1 to 0. In the same time, a phase transition that is present at a lower level of the noise disappears.

Dependence of Critical Parameters of 2D Ising Model on Lattice Size

B. V. Kryzhanovsky, M. Yu. Malsagov, Iakov Karandashev

For the 2D Ising model, we analyzed dependences of thermodynamic characteristics on number of spins by means of computer simulations. We compared experimental data obtained using the Fisher-Kasteleyn algorithm on a square lattice with N = l × l spins and the asymptotic Onsager solution ( N → ∞). We derived empirical expressions for critical parameters as functions of N and generalized the Onsager solution on the case of a finite-size lattice. Our analytical expressions for the free energy and its derivatives (the internal energy, the energy dispersion and the heat capacity) describe accurately the results of computer simulations. We showed that when N increased the heat capacity in the critical point increased as ln N . We specified restrictions on the accuracy of the critical temperature due to finite size of our system. Also in the finite-dimensional case, we obtained expressions describing temperature dependences of the magnetization and the correlation length. They are in a good qualitative agreement with the results of computer simulations by means of the dynamic Metropolis Monte Carlo method.

Equilibrium properties of a two-dimensional random Ising model with a continuous distribution of interactions

H -F Cheung, W. L. McMillan

The equilibrium properties of the two-dimensional Ising model with nearest-neighbour interactions uniformly distributed between -J and J have been determined using a numerical transfer matrix method. The calculations are performed on a long strip of width L(3<or=L<or=11) with periodic boundary conditions and finite-size scaling arguments are used to extrapolate to L= infinity . The spin-glass correlation length diverges as T - nu at low temperature with nu =2.96+or-0.22. The correlation length scaling function differs from that for the random Ising model with interactions of magnitude J and random sign showing that the two models with different distribution functions belong to different universality classes. The heat capacity is linear at low temperature and can be interpreted using a continuous distribution of two-level states which is finite at zero energy and increases approximately linearly with energy. At zero temperature the entropy is zero and the internal energy extrapolated to L= infinity is -(0.7943+or-0.0010)J.

Bimodal and Gaussian Ising spin glasses in dimension two

P. H. Lundow, Ian A. Campbell

An analysis is given of numerical simulation data to size L=128 on the archetype square lattice Ising spin glasses (ISGs) with bimodal (±J) and Gaussian interaction distributions. It is well established that the ordering temperature of both models is zero. The Gaussian model has a nondegenerate ground state and thus a critical exponent η≡0, and a continuous distribution of energy levels. For the bimodal model, above a size-dependent crossover temperature T(*)(L) there is a regime of effectively continuous energy levels; below T(*)(L) there is a distinct regime dominated by the highly degenerate ground state plus an energy gap to the excited states. T(*)(L) tends to zero at very large L, leaving only the effectively continuous regime in the thermodynamic limit. The simulation data on both models are analyzed with the conventional scaling variable t=T and with a scaling variable τ(b)=T(2)/(1+T(2)) suitable for zero-temperature transition ISGs, together with appropriate scaling expressions. The data for the temperature dependence of the reduced susceptibility χ(τ(b),L) and second moment correlation length ξ(τ(b),L) in the thermodynamic limit regime are extrapolated to the τ(b)=0 critical limit. The Gaussian critical exponent estimates from the simulations, η=0 and ν=3.55(5), are in full agreement with the well-established values in the literature. The bimodal critical exponents, estimated from the thermodynamic limit regime analyses using the same extrapolation protocols as for the Gaussian model, are η=0.20(2) and ν=4.8(3), distinctly different from the Gaussian critical exponents.

First-order phase transition in a 2D random-field Ising model with conflicting dynamics

Nuno Crokidakis

The effects of locally random magnetic fields are considered in a nonequilibrium Ising model defined on a square lattice with nearest-neighbor interactions. In order to generate the random magnetic fields, we have considered random variables { h } that change randomly with time according to a double-Gaussian probability distribution, which consists of two single-Gaussian distributions, centered at + h o and − h o , with the same width σ. This distribution is very general and can recover in appropriate limits the bimodal distribution ( ) and the single-Gaussian one ( h o = 0). We performed Monte Carlo simulations in lattices with linear sizes in the range L = 32–512. The system exhibits ferromagnetic and paramagnetic steady states. Our results suggest the occurrence of first-order phase transitions between the above-mentioned phases at low temperatures and large random-field intensities h o for some small values of the width σ. By means of finite size scaling, we estimate the critical exponents in the low-field region, where we have continuous phase transitions. In addition, we show a sketch of the phase diagram of the model for some values of σ.

Spin- S Ising models with multispin interactions on the one-dimensional chain and two-dimensional square lattice

Kohei Suzuki

We study spin-S Ising models with p-spin interactions on the one-dimensional chain and the two-dimensional square lattice. Here, S denotes the magnitude of the spin and p represents the number of spins involved in each interaction. The analysis is performed for S=1/2,1,3/2,2, and p=3,4,5. For the one-dimensional model, we formulate transfer matrices and numerically diagonalize them to analyze the temperature dependence of the free energy and spin-spin correlations. In the case of S=1/2, the free energy does not depend on p, and the spin-spin correlations are uniformly enhanced across all temperature scales as p increases. In contrast, for S≥1, the free energy varies with p, and the spin-spin correlations are significantly enhanced at lower temperatures as p increases. For the two-dimensional model, by using multicanonical simulations, we analyze physical quantities such as an order parameter, internal energy, and specific heat. In addition, we define and examine an order parameter to distinguish ordered and disordered phases. It is found that a first-order phase transition occurs at finite temperatures for all S and p≥3, and increasing p strengthens its nature. We present S and p dependence of the transition temperature and latent heat, and discuss effects of higher-order interactions on the nature of phase transitions.

Scaling and chaos in periodic approximations to the two-dimensional Ising spin glass

David A. Huse, Lee-Fen Ko

We approximate a two-dimensional spin glass by tiling an infinite lattice with large identical unit cells. The interactions within the unit cell are chosen at random, just as when one studies finite-size systems with periodic boundary conditions. But here the unit cells are instead connected to form an infinite lattice, so one may examine correlations on all length scales, and the system can have true phase transitions. For such approximations to the Ising spin glass on the square lattice, we apply the free-fermion method of Onsager and the anticommuting operator approach of Kaufman to obtain numerically exact results for each realization of the quenched disorder. Each such sample shows one or more critical points, with the distribution of critical temperatures scaling with the unit cell size, consistent with what is expected from the scaling theory of low-dimensional spin glasses. Due to ``chaos,'' the correlations between unit cells can change sign with changing temperature. We examine the scaling of this chaos with unit cell size. Many samples have multiple critical points due to the interactions between unit cells changing sign at temperatures within the ordered phases.
