The phase transition of the spin-one-half, four-dimensional hypercubic Ising model has been investigated by means of the Monte Carlo renormalization-group technique. The results agree with mean-field critical exponents.
We describe results of Monte Carlo simulation studies on the Ising spin glass in four dimensions on a hypercubic lattice with nearest neighbor bonds. Studies of the equilibrium static properties show that the system undergoes a genuine phase transition to an ordered spin glass phase. Critical dynamical behavior is analyzed to obtain the dynamic exponent. Finally, we describe results on the spin glass phase, in particular the finite size scaling of the order parameter distribution function, and compare it with existing models of the spin glass phase, namely the droplet model and the Parisi solution for the low temperature phase of the infinite range spin glass.
A careful Monte Carlo investigation of the phase transition very close to the critical point (T -> Tc, H -> 0) in relatively large d = 3, s = 1/2 Ising lattices did produce critical exponents beta = 0.3126(4) =~ 5/16, delta^{-1} = 0.1997(4) =~ 1/5 and gamma_{3D} = 1.253(4) =~ 5/4. Our results indicate that, within experimental error, they are given by simple fractions corresponding to the linear interpolations between the respective two-dimensional (Onsager) and four-dimensional (mean field) critical exponents. An analysis of our inverse susceptibility data chi^{-1}(T) vs. /T - Tc/ shows that these data lead to a value of gamma_{3D} compatible with gamma' = gamma and Tc = 4.51152(12), while gamma values obtained recently by high and low temperature series expansions and renormalization group methods are not.
We report the results of a microcanonical simulation of the two- and three-dimensional Ising models at criticality. We also present a microcanonical algorithm that allows a simultaneous simulation of a lattice spin system at different energies, in our case the number of different energies is 32. The critical behavior of the systems was studied via a recently proposed microcanonical renormalization-group technique that yields independent estimates for the critical energy and the critical temperature, as well as for three critical exponents providing a direct test of hyperscaling. Our results in two dimensions are in good agreement with exact results. In the three dimensions our quoted values are consistent with Monte Carlo estimates recently reported in the literature. We obtain uc=-0.991(1), Tc=4.5112(3), \ensuremath{\beta}/\ensuremath{\nu}=0.541(1), \ensuremath{\nu}=0.630(3), and \ensuremath{\alpha}=0.109(1).
The critical behavior of the Ising model on a one-dimensional network, which has long-range connections at distances l>1 with the probability theta(l) approximately l(-m), is studied by using Monte Carlo simulations. Through analyzing the Ising model on networks with different m values, this paper discusses the impact of the global correlation, which decays with the increase of m, on the phase transition of the Ising model. Adding the analysis of the finite-size scaling of the order parameter [M], it is observed that in the whole range of 0<m<2, a finite-temperature transition exists, and the critical exponents show consistence with mean-field values, which indicates a mean-field nature of the phase transition.
