Abstract

The critical behavior of three-dimensional weakly diluted quenched Ising model is examined on the base of six-loop renormalization group expansions obtained within the minimal subtraction scheme in 4-ɛ space dimensions. For this purpose the ϕ^{4} field theory with cubic symmetry was analyzed in the replica limit n→0. Along with renormalization group expansions in terms of renormalized couplings the sqrt[ɛ] expansions of critical exponents are presented. Corresponding numerical estimates for the physical, three-dimensional system are obtained by means of different resummation procedures applied both to the sqrt[ɛ] series and to initial renormalization group expansions. The results given by the latter approach are in a good agreement with their counterparts obtained experimentally and within the Monte Carlo simulations, while resumming of sqrt[ɛ] series themselves turned out to be disappointing.

Critical exponents of the Ising model with quenched structural disorder and long-range interactions at spatial dimension d = 3

D.V. Shapoval, M. Dudka

We analyse the critical properties of a weakly diluted (random) Ising model with the long-range interaction decaying with distance x as ∼ x - d - σ in a d-dimensional space. It is known to belong to a new long-range random universality class for certain values of the decay parameter σ. Exploiting the field-theoretic renormalization group approach within the minimal subtraction scheme, we compute the three-loop renormalization group functions. On their basis, with the help of asymptotic series resummation methods, we estimate the correlation length critical exponent ν characterising the new universality class for d = 3 and for those values of σ for which long-range interactions are relevant for the critical behaviour.

Three-dimensional randomly dilute Ising model: Monte Carlo results

Pasquale Calabrese, Víctor Martín-Mayor, Andrea Pelissetto C +1 more

We perform a high-statistics simulation of the three-dimensional randomly dilute Ising model on cubic lattices L3 with L< or =256. We choose a particular value of the density, x=0.8, for which the leading scaling corrections are suppressed. We determine the critical exponents, obtaining nu=0.683(3), eta=0.035(2), beta=0.3535(17), and alpha=-0.049(9), in agreement with previous numerical simulations. We also estimate numerically the fixed-point values of the four-point zero-momentum couplings that are used in field-theoretical fixed-dimension studies. Although these results somewhat differ from those obtained using perturbative field theory, the field-theoretical estimates of the critical exponents do not change significantly if the Monte Carlo result for the fixed point is used. Finally, we determine the six-point zero-momentum couplings, relevant for the small-magnetization expansion of the equation of state, and the invariant amplitude ratio R(+)(xi) that expresses the universality of the free-energy density per correlation volume. We find R(+)(xi)=0.2885(15).

High-temperature series for the bond-diluted Ising model in 3, 4, and 5 dimensions

Meik Hellmund, Wolfhard Janke E

In order to study the influence of quenched disorder on second-order phase transitions, high-temperature series expansions of the susceptibility and the free energy are obtained for the quenched bond-diluted Ising model in $d=3--5$ dimensions. They are analyzed using different extrapolation methods tailored to the expected singularity behaviors. In $d=4$ and 5 dimensions we confirm that the critical behavior is governed by the pure fixed point up to dilutions near the geometric bond percolation threshold. The existence and form of logarithmic corrections for the pure Ising model in $d=4$ are confirmed, and our results for the critical behavior of the diluted system are in agreement with the type of singularity predicted by renormalization group considerations. In three dimensions we find large crossover effects between the pure Ising, percolation, and random fixed points. We estimate the critical exponent of the susceptibility to be $\ensuremath{\gamma}=1.305(5)$ at the random fixed point.

Short-time dynamics and critical behavior of the three-dimensional site-diluted Ising model

Vladimir V. Prudnikov, Pavel Vladimirovich Prudnikov, Aleksandr Krinitsyn +3 more

Monte Carlo simulations of the short-time dynamic behavior are reported for three-dimensional weakly site-diluted Ising model with spin concentrations p=0.95 and 0.8 at criticality. In contrast to studies of the critical behavior of the pure systems by the short-time dynamics method, our investigations of site-diluted Ising model have revealed three stages of the dynamic evolution characterizing a crossover phenomenon from the critical behavior typical for the pure systems to behavior determined by the influence of disorder. The static and dynamic critical exponents are determined with the use of the corrections to scaling for systems starting separately from ordered and disordered initial states. The obtained values of the exponents demonstrate a universal behavior of weakly site-diluted Ising model in the critical region. The values of the exponents are compared to results of numerical simulations which have been obtained in various works and, also, with results of the renormalization-group description of this model.

Nonequilibrium critical relaxation of structurally disordered systems in the short-time regime: Renormalization group description and computer simulation

Vladimir V. Prudnikov, Pavel Vladimirovich Prudnikov, Ivan A. Kalashnikov +1 more

The influence of nonequilibrium initial states on the evolution of anisotropic systems with quenched uncorrelated structural defects at the critical point is studied. The field-theoretical description of the nonequilibrium critical behavior of 3D systems is obtained for the first time, and the dynamic critical exponent of the short-time evolution in the two-loop approximation without the use of ɛ expansion is calculated. The values of dynamic critical exponents calculated using the series resummation methods are compared with the results of computer simulation of nonequilibrium critical behavior of the 3D disordered Ising model in the short-time regime. It is demonstrated that the values of the critical exponents calculated in this paper are in better agreement with the results of computer simulation than the results of application of ɛ expansion.

Renormalization-group computation of the critical exponents of hierarchical spin glasses: Large-scale behavior and divergence of the correlation length

Michele Castellana, Giorgio Parisi A

In a recent work [M. Castellana and G. Parisi, Phys. Rev. E 82, 040105(R) (2010)], the large-scale behavior of the simplest non-mean-field spin-glass system has been analyzed, and the critical exponent related to the divergence of the correlation length has been computed at two loops within the ε-expansion technique by two independent methods. By performing the explicit calculation of the critical exponents at two loops, one obtains that the two methods yield the same result. This shows that the underlying renormalization group ideas apply consistently in this disordered model, in such a way that an ε-expansion can be set up. The question of the extension to high orders of this ε-expansion is particularly interesting from the physical point of view. Indeed, once high orders of the series in ε for the critical exponents are known, one could check the convergence properties of the series, and find out if the ordinary series resummation techniques, yielding very accurate predictions for the Ising model, work also for this model. If this is the case, a consistent and predictive non-mean-field theory for such a disordered system could be established. In that regard, in this work we expose the underlying techniques of such a two-loop computation. We show with an explicit example that such a computation could be quite easily automatized, i.e., performed by a computer program, in order to compute high orders of the ε-expansion, and so eventually make this theory physically predictive. Moreover, all the underlying renormalization group ideas implemented in such a computation are widely discussed and exposed.
