Two-step renormalisation group for Ising systems

Abstract

A decimation transformation preceded by a mean-field renormalisation group has been used to obtain the critical properties of various d-dimensional lattices. The method improves substantially both exponents and critical couplings even for small size clusters when compared with decimation and mean-field renormalisation group methods.

Exact decimation transformation with mean-field approximation

Kun-Fa Tang, Jia-Zhen Hu

A new method is developed for calculating the critical temperature and exponents of spin systems, based on the exact decimation transformation and a mean-field approximation. Calculations of both exponents and critical couplings are much improved, even in the lowest approximation, when compared with other renormalisation group methods.

A renormalisation-group method for lattice gas models

A. Šurda

A new method for calculating the critical temperature and critical exponents of classical discrete models, based on the renormalisation-group method and the cluster variational method, is developed. In the lowest approximation, using the mean field approximation and quasichemical approximation, the results for the two-dimensional Ising model are obtained within 2% accuracy.

Two-step renormalisation group approach for randomly diluted Ising models

L. R. Evangelista, V. K. Saxena

A two-step renormalisation group approach-a Migdal-Kadanoff (or decimation) transformation (MK) followed by a mean-field renormalisation group (MFRG)-has been applied to random bond Ising models on d-dimensional hypercubic lattices. Calculations of the critical couplings and percolation concentrations for two and three dimensions show much improvement, even for small size clusters, compared with the results of separate MK or MFRG calculations. Critical exponents nu T and nu p are also improved in some cases. Estimates of critical curves in the concentration-temperature plane are also obtained for the two- and three-dimensional models.

Mean-field renormalisation group study of the anisotropic Ising model

J. A. Plascak, N P Silva

The mean-field renormalisation group approach is applied to the anisotropic Ising model by considering clusters consisting of finite blocks of spins and clusters consisting of infinite strips of spins with the finite widths. The critical temperature and estimates of the critical exponent nu are obtained as functions of the anisotropy. A two-step renormalisation group procedure using a phenomenological renormalisation transformation is also presented. In general, the results for nu are consistent with universality arguments.

MEAN-FIELD RENORMALIZATION GROUP: BIBLIOGRAPHY AND NEW APPLICATIONS USING LARGE CLUSTERS

Kathleen Croes, Joseph O. Indekeu

Renormalization group recursions based on mean-field approximations [J. O. Indekeu, A. Maritan, and A. L. Stella, J. Phys.A15, L291 (1982)], commonly referred to as mean-field renormalization group methods (MFRG), have proven to be efficient and easily applicable for computing non-classical critical properties of lattice models. We give a fairly complete bibliography of applications to date, and extend previous test calculations of bulk, surface, and corner critical exponents in the two-dimensional Ising model to larger cluster sizes on triangular, square (including crossing bonds), and honeycomb lattices. Without much effort the exact value of the critical exponent ratioyH/yT is reproduced systematically with a precision of 2%. This ratio turns out to be the most accurate probe of non-classical critical behaviour that is available in the MFRG method.

Decimation transformations for two-dimensional Ising spin systems

Leigh Sneddon, Michael N. Barber

The decimation transformation is used to calculate critical exponents for two-dimensional Ising spin systems on the square, triangular and hexagonal lattices. Both cumulant and cluster approximations are used. While the results of the low-order cumulant and of small cluster calculations agree well with the known exact exponents, an increase in cluster size does not appear to increase accuracy. The decimation transformation is only found to be useful for calculating thermal eigenvalues.
