Abstract

Using a modified version of the clusters we proposed recently for the real-space renormalization group, we calculate the surface tension for the Ising model on a triangular lattice. The results are in good agreement with the exact answers.

Extrapolated renormalization-group calculation of the surface tension in square-lattice Ising model

Evaldo M. F. Curado, Constantino Tsallis, Silvio V. F. Levy +1 more

By using self-dual clusters (whose sizes are characterized by the numbers $b=2,3,4,5$), we calculate within a real-space renormalization-group framework, the longitudinal surface tension of the square-lattice first-neighbor \textonehalf{}-spin ferromagnetic Ising model. The exact critical temperature ${T}_{c}$ is recovered for any value of $b$; the exact asymptotic behavior of the surface tension in the limit of low temperatures is analytically recovered; the approximate correlation-length critical exponents monotonically tend towards the exact value $\ensuremath{\nu}=1$ (which, for two dimensions, coincides with the surface-tension critical exponent $\ensuremath{\mu}$) for increasingly large cells; the same behavior is noticed in the approximate values for the surface-tension amplitude in the limit $T\ensuremath{\rightarrow}{T}_{c}$. We develop four different numerical procedures for extrapolating to $b\ensuremath{\rightarrow}\ensuremath{\infty}$ the renormalization-group (RG) results for the surface tension, and quite satisfactory agreement is obtained with Onsager's exact expression (error varying from zero to a few percent on the whole temperature domain). Furthermore, we compare the set of RG surface tensions with a set of biased surface tensions (associated with appropriate misfit seams) and find only fortuitous coincidence among them.

Extrapolated renormalization group calculation of surface tension critical exponent in Ising model

T Kotowski, Maciej Suffczynski

A real-space renormalization-group calculation of critical exponent of correlation length and surface tension of the square-lattice nearest-neighbor ferromagnetic Ising model is extended to the cluster size b = 6. The extension allows a more reliable extrapolation for large cluster sizes. Values of the approximate critical exponent are obtained nearer to the exact value.

Ising-Model Surface Tension Using Real-Space Renormalization-Group Methods

Mário J. de Oliveira, D. Furman, Robert B. Griffiths

Approximate real-space (cell-type) renormalization-group methods are used to calculate the surface tension between coexisting phases in two- and three-dimensional Ising models. The results are physically reasonable and show the expected scaling properties near a critical point. However, there are some problems in reconciling the three-dimensional results with the existence of a roughening transition.

A Renormalization Group Study of the Ising Model on a Triangular Lattice with Long-Range Interactions

Sze-Shiang Feng, Qiu Xijun

The critical exponents of the triangular lattice Ising model with long-range interactions are calculated by the real space renormalization group. Using the simplest Kadanoff blocks and the lowest approximation of cumulant expansion, it is shown that there exists a finite critical temperature when .

Renormalization-group study of the ferromagnetic Ising model on the triangular lattice

Chris Unger

The dynamic real-space renormalization group of Mazenko and Valls is applied to the zero-field ferromagnetic Ising model on the triangular lattice. Renormalization equations valid for all temperatures above the critical temperature ${T}_{c}$ are derived for the susceptibility, specific heat, structure factor, and correlation length. The magnetization is found for $T<{T}_{c}$. The critical exponents and amplitudes for these quantities are calculated. The agreement between the known static properties and the renormalization-group results is good to excellent, and shows that this renormalization-group method can accurately calculate nonuniversal, as well as universal, quantities on different lattices. The computed dynamic structure factor, however, exhibits nonmonotonic behavior as a function of temperature. This nonmonotonic behavior is conjectured to be due to approximations in determining the expansion parameters.
