Critical properties of an Ising model with infinite-range coupling

Roberto Livi, Amos Maritan, Stefano Ruffo

Abstract

A proper lower bound approximation to the true free energy per site of an Ising model with infinite-range interaction is obtained by the Migdal-Kadanoff real space recursion formulae. The results for the critical behaviour are confirmed by mean field analysis.

Critical behaviour of Ising magnets: infinitesimal Migdal-Kadanoff approximation

Ôjirô Nagai, M. Toyonaga

The critical behaviour of Ising magnets is theoretically studied by the use of the infinitesimal Migdal-Kadanoff approximation. The critical temperatures of ferromagnetic slabs, the phase boundary of semi-infinite Ising ferromagnets, the surface thermodynamic function of semi-infinite square lattice and the phase boundary of antiferromagnets in a magnetic field are investigated.

A real-space renormalisation group study of a semi-infinite Ising model

H. C. Tseng, H H Chen

A modified Migdal-Kadanoff renormalisation group scheme, called the cluster-decimation approximation, is generalised and applied to study surface critical properties of the Ising model with a free surface. The authors determine the fixed points and calculate surface critical exponents of this model. Comparisons of their results with other real-space renormalisation group estimates are given.

Lower bound approximation to the free energy of an Ising model on a simple cubic lattice

Chin‐Kun Hu, Wen‐Den Chen, Yu-Ming Shih +7 more

We apply a modified Kadanoff's variational method to calculate the lower bound zero-field free energies and their derivatives for an Ising model on the simple cubic lattice. We find a critical point at Kc = 0.2393769 with precision ±10−7.

Real-space renormalisation of the smoothly inhomogeneous semi-infinite Ising model

Theodore W. Burkhardt, Ihnsouk Guim

Using the Migdal-Kadanoff renormalisation method, the authors study the semi-infinite two-dimensional Ising model with inhomogeneous nearest-neighbour coupling constants, that deviate from the bulk coupling by Am -y for large m, m being the distance from the edge. The approximation correctly predicts irrelevance of the inhomogeneity for y>v -1 , a surface magnetic phase at the bulk critical temperature for y<v -1 , A>0, and a non-universal A-dependent surface magnetic index in the marginal case y=v -1 .

Infinite susceptibility at high temperatures in the Migdal-Kadanoff scheme

Miron Kaufman, Robert B. Griffiths

The Migdal-Kadanoff real-space renormalisation group scheme applied to the Ising and classical XY (and probably other) ferromagnetic models yields an infinite susceptibility at all temperatures above the critical temperature for a hypercubic lattice of dimension d>or=2.

On the critical behaviour of an Ising system with lattice coupling

J. Oitmaa, Michael N. Barber

The Hamiltonian H=-J 2 Sigma (ij) sigma i sigma j -(J 4 /N) Sigma (ij)(kl) sigma i sigma j sigma k sigma l where the first term is a nearest-neighbour pair interaction and the second term is an infinite-range pair-pair interaction, is proposed as a model of an Ising magnet with lattice coupling. The free energy is reduced to that of a rigid Ising model on the same lattice but with a modified pair interaction. In two and three dimensions, the phase transition is found to be first order for all J 4 . The relationship between this result and recent renormalization group calculations is discussed.
