Monte Carlo Investigation of Rare Magnetization Fluctuations in Ising Models

Dietrich Stauffer

Published Jun 1, 1998• 8 citations
Publisher

Abstract

For square and simple cubic Ising models at T=Tc, we look at the tails of the magnetization distribution for untypically large magnetizations. No indications for a stretched exponential or power law behavior are found.

Large-deviation tails of critical order-parameter distributions

Jinhong Zhu, Yihao Xu, Abbas Ali Saberi +1 more

Large-deviation tails of critical probability distributions provide a sensitive probe of universality beyond standard finite-size scaling. We study these tails for critical percolation and Fortuin--Kasteleyn Ising models on two-dimensional lattices, three-dimensional lattices, and complete graphs. We consider two rescaled order parameters: the magnetization-like variable $x_m=|M|/\langle |M|\rangle$, including a signed cluster-mass analogue for percolation, and the largest-cluster variable $x_C=C_1/\langle C_1\rangle$. For $x_m$, we test the expected stretched-exponential large-deviation tail and show that the same form applies to the percolation analogue. For $x_C$, guided by the exact complete-graph result and scaling arguments, we propose universal scaling forms for both tails of the cumulative distribution and test them by extensive Monte Carlo simulations. In the complete-graph FK-Ising model, the left tail is governed by rare configurations with percolation-like scaling rather than by the typical Ising scaling. Our results show that the tails of order-parameter distributions reveal universal features of critical fluctuations that are not captured by averaged observables alone.

FLIPPING OF MAGNETIZATION IN ISING MODELS AT Tc

Dietrich Stauffer

The two-dimensional simulations of Majumdar, Bray, Cornell, and Sire are confirmed and generalized to three to five dimensions. They agree with their epsilon expansion.

MAGNETIZATION DECAY IN THE DILUTED ISING MODEL

Peter Grassberger

Using Monte Carlo techniques, we study the decay of magnetization in diluted two-dimensional Ising models at and below the critical temperature Tc of the undiluted Ising model, but above the critical temperature of the diluted system. Using damage spreading (or rather damage "healing"), we are able to measure down to much lower final magnetizations (10–9) and to much larger times than previous authors. Nevertheless, we do not yet find the predicted asymptotic behavior in the Griffiths phase T < Tc. But we can at least exclude a stretched exponential decay as found in previous papers, for T < Tc. Finally, we discuss the case T = Tc where a stretched exponential decay can be proven to hold, at least for p < pc. We indeed do see a stretched exponential for p = pc (and T = Tc), but we show that it cannot describe the asymptotic behavior either.

Multicanonical Monte Carlo study and analysis of tails for the order-parameter distribution of the two-dimensional Ising model

Rudolf Hilfer A, Bibhu Biswal, Hans-Georg Mattutis +1 more

The tails of the critical order-parameter distribution of the two-dimensional Ising model are investigated through extensive multicanonical Monte Carlo simulations. Results for fixed boundary conditions are reported here, and compared with known results for periodic boundary conditions. Clear numerical evidence for "fat" stretched exponential tails exists below the critical temperature, indicating the possible presence of fat tails at the critical temperature. Our work suggests that the true order-parameter distribution at the critical temperature must be considered to be unknown at present.

For xmx_mxm​, we test the expected stretched-exponential large-deviation tail and show that the same form applies to the percolation analogue.
