Abstract

Critical indices, the critical line, and the crossover scaling function for the free energy are calculated for the two-dimensional Ising model with a transverse field using a quantum-mechanical version of the real-space renormalization group. The critical behavior as function of the transverse field at a small finite temperature changes from that of a three-dimensional to that of a two-dimensional Ising behavior, as the critical line is approached.

Zero-temperature renormalization-group method for quantum systems. III. Ising model in a transverse field in two dimensions

K. A. Penson, Rémi Jullien, Pierre M. Pfeuty

A newly developed zero-temperature real-space renormalization-group method is applied to the quantum Ising model with a transverse field on different two-dimensional lattices: hexagonal, triangular, and quadratic. The order parameter, spin-spin correlation functions, the critical fields, and the critical exponents describing the low-field-large-field transition are calculated. The influence of size and shape of the spin blocks used in the iterative process is discussed. The results for triangular and hexagonal lattices are new; for the quadratic lattice the calculations show an encouraging agreement with previous series-expansion results. The expected equivalence to the critical behavior of the three-dimensional Ising model is discussed: A reasonable agreement is obtained for the hexagonal lattice.

Critical Exponents for the Three-Dimensional Ising Model from the Real-Space Renormalization Group in Two Dimensions

Zvi Friedman

The equivalence of the critical behavior of the $d$-dimensional Ising model at a finite temperature to that of a $d$- 1 dimensional system at zero temperature as a function of a transverse magnetic field is used to calculate the critical exponents for the three-dimensional model by applying the Niemeijer-Van Leeuwen renormalization-group method to the two-dimensional problem.

Real-space renormalization group for the transverse-field Ising model in two and three dimensions

Ryoji Miyazaki, Hidetoshi Nishimori, Gerardo Ortíz

The two- and three-dimensional transverse-field Ising models with ferromagnetic exchange interactions are analyzed by means of the real-space renormalization-group method. The basic strategy is a generalization of a method developed for the one-dimensional case, which exploits the exact invariance of the model under renormalization and is known to give the exact values of the critical point and critical exponent ν. The resulting values of the critical exponent ν in two and three dimensions are in good agreement with those for the classical Ising model in three and four dimensions. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first example in which a real-space renormalization group on (2+1)- and (3+1)-dimensional Bravais lattices yields accurate estimates of the critical exponents.

Suzuki-Trotter decomposition and renormalization of a transverse-field Ising model in two dimensions

M. Dudzin-acuteski, J. Szṅajd

The combined Suzuki-Trotter decomposition and Niemeijer--van Leuween real-space renormalization-group techniques are used to study the critical properties of a two-dimensional Ising system with a transverse field. The inverse critical temperature as a function of the external field and the temperature dependence of the transverse component of the magnetization are found. It is also shown that any real-space renormalization-group procedure based on the simple generalization of the Niemeijer--van Leeuwen majority rule for one of the components of the total-cell spin does not preserve the symmetry of the quantum spin space.

Renormalization-group calculation for the two-dimensional square Ising model in a transverse magnetic field

J. E. Hirsch

We apply a recently proposed real-space renormalization-group method to the two-dimensional square Ising model in a transverse magnetic field at zero temperature. We do the calculation to first and second order in the intercell coupling; in both cases we find a nontrivial fixed point. We compare the obtained critical exponents with accepted values for the three-dimensional Ising model from high-temperature series expansions. In first order the agreement is poor, in second order we obtain good agreement with the expected values.

Real-space renormalization-group approach to the random transverse-field Ising model in finite dimensions

Ryoji Miyazaki, Hidetoshi Nishimori

The transverse-field Ising models with random exchange interactions in finite dimensions are investigated by means of a real-space renormalization-group method. The scheme yields the exact values of the critical point and critical exponent $\ensuremath{\nu}$ in one dimension and some previous results in the case of random ferromagnetic interactions are reproduced in two and three dimensions. We apply the scheme to spin glasses in transverse fields in two and three dimensions, which have not been analyzed very extensively. The phase diagrams and the critical exponent $\ensuremath{\nu}$ are obtained and evidence for the existence of an infinite-randomness fixed point in these models is found.
