The Correlation Length and the Critical Exponentνthrough the Simplified Cluster Variation Method and the Coherent Anomaly Method
Je-Young Choi
Abstract
The correlation length of the Ising model on the simple cubic lattice is calculated directly from the magnetization profiles which are determined in the pair, the square, and the cube approximations in the simplified cluster variation method. The critical exponent ν is obtained by applying the coherent anomaly method to the correlation length. The wave-number dependent magnetic susceptibility or the spin-pair correlation function is not required in obtaining the expression for the correlation length.
