Logarithmic divergent specific heat from high-temperature series expansions: Application to the two-dimensional XXZ Heisenberg model

Abstract

We present an interpolation method for the specific heat ${c}_{v}(T)$, when there is a phase transition with a logarithmic singularity in ${c}_{v}$ at a critical temperature $T={T}_{c}$. The method uses the fact that ${c}_{v}$ is constrained both by its high temperature series expansion and just above ${T}_{c}$ by the type of singularity. We test our method on the ferro- and antiferromagnetic Ising models on the two-dimensional square, triangular, honeycomb, and kagome lattices, where we find an excellent agreement with the exact solutions. We then explore the XXZ Heisenberg model, for which no exact results are available.

Finite-temperature phase transitions in S=12 three-dimensional Heisenberg magnets from high-temperature series expansions

M. G. Gonzalez, B. Bernu, Laurent Pierre +1 more

Many frustrated spin models on three-dimensional (3D) lattices are currently being investigated, both experimentally and theoretically, and develop new types of long-range orders in their respective phase diagrams. They present finite-temperature phase transitions, most likely in the Heisenberg 3D universality class. However, the combination between the 3D character and frustration makes them hard to study. We present here several methods derived from high-temperature series expansions (HTSEs), which give exact coefficients directly in the thermodynamic limit up to a certain order; for several 3D lattices, supplementary orders than in previous literature are reported for the HTSEs. We introduce an interpolation method able to describe thermodynamic quantities at $T>{T}_{c}$, which we use here to reconstruct the magnetic susceptibility and the specific heat and to extract universal and nonuniversal quantities (for example, critical exponents, temperature, energy, entropy, and other parameters related to the phase transition). While the susceptibility associated with the order parameter is not usually known for more exotic long-range orders, the specific heat is indicative of a phase transition for any kind of symmetry breaking. We present examples of applications on ferromagnetic and antiferromagnetic models on various 3D lattices and benchmark our results whenever possible.

Complex-temperature singularities in thed= 2 Ising model: triangular and honeycomb lattices

Victor Matveev, Robert E. Shrock

We study complex-temperature singularities of the Ising model on the triangular and honeycomb lattices. We first discuss the complex-T phases and their boundaries. From exact results, we determine the complex-T singularities in the specific heat and magnetization. For the triangular lattice we discuss the implications of the divergence of the magnetization at the point (where ) and extend a previous study by Guttmann of the susceptibility at this point with the use of differential approximants. For the honeycomb lattice, from an analysis of low-temperature series expansions, we have found evidence that the uniform and staggered susceptibilities and both have divergent singularities at , and our numerical values for the exponents are consistent with the hypothesis that the exact values are . The critical amplitudes at this singularity were calculated. Using our exact results for and together with numerical values for from series analyses, we find that the exponent relation is violated at z = -1 on the honeycomb lattice; the right-hand side is consistent with being equal to 4 rather than 2. The connections of the critical exponents at these two singularities on the triangular and honeycomb lattice are discussed.

High-temperature series expansions for the (2+1)-dimensional Ising model

Haihua He, Chris J. Hamer, J. Oitmaa

Using efficient cluster expansion methods, the known high-temperature series for the vacuum energy, specific heat, susceptibility and mass gap of the (2+1)-dimensional Ising model on the square and triangular lattices have been extended by several terms. Estimates of the critical indices demonstrate very convincing universality with the Euclidean version of the model.

Specific Heat of the Two-Dimensional ± J Ising Model

Makoto Inoue

The two-dimensional ± J random Ising model is studied numerically up to a system size 700×701 by using the Pfaffian method which gives exact free energy and correlation functions. The behavior of the specific heat at the paramagnetic-ferromagnetic phase boundary is analysed by using logarithmic type, double-logarithmic type and cusp type of regression equations. It is found that the logarithmic divergence is the most natural behavior. The critical temperature is determined accurately.

The spin model. III. Analysis of high temperature series expansions of some thermodynamic quantities in two dimensions

Jos Rogiers, Ernst W. Grundke, Donald D. Betts

In this paper we report analyses of high temperature series expansions for the spin [Formula: see text] XY model on the triangular and square lattices. Quantities for which series are analyzed include the fluctuation in the transverse magnetization, fourth order fluctuations in the same quantity, second and fourth moments of the transverse spin–spin correlations, specific heat, and entropy. The evidence favours a phase transition at a finite temperature with conventional power law critical singularities. Scaling seems to hold but hyperscaling seems to be violated. Estimates for critical exponents include γ = 2.50 ± 0.3. Δ = 2.38 ± 0.2, and ν = 143 ± 0.10. The specific heat exhibits no singular behaviour at Tc.

Low-Temperature Critical Exponents from High-Temperature Series: The Ising Model

David S. Gaunt, George Allen Baker Jr.

First, a new method proposed by Baker and Rushbrooke is used to study the simple ferromagnetic Ising model at and below the Curie temperature. Of course, the properties of the Ising model are already well known, so that the main aim here is to assess the potential and reliability of the new method, since it has wide applicability to other models which have not been otherwise studied. Between 8 and 16 coefficients of exact high-temperature expansions for fixed values of the magnetization are derived for various two- and three-dimensional lattices. A Pad\'e-approximant analysis of these expansions at the critical isotherm and magnetic phase boundary enables us to estimate the critical exponents $\ensuremath{\beta}$, ${\ensuremath{\gamma}}^{\ensuremath{'}}$, and $\ensuremath{\delta}$, and plot the spontaneous magnetization. The results are in good agreement with previous calculations. Secondly, an analysis of the exact series expansions provides no support for the conjecture that the phase boundary is a line of essential singularities. However, the same expansions strongly suggest the existence of a "spinodal" curve, whose properties are in reasonable agreement with the predictions of various heuristic arguments (based essentially upon analyticity at the phase boundary and one-phase homogeneity in the critical region). Finally, structure and a mild extension of the proven analyticity of the free energy are used to show the $\ensuremath{\Delta}\ensuremath{\le}{\ensuremath{\Delta}}^{\ensuremath{'}}$, $\ensuremath{\gamma}\ensuremath{\le}{\ensuremath{\gamma}}^{\ensuremath{'}}$.
