Critical Scattering in a Field and Below Tc

Abstract

Series expansions for spin-spin correlations of simple-cubic, bcc, and square lattice Ising ferromagnets for general field and temperature have been analyzed. To within the attainable precision (of \ifmmode\pm\else\textpm\fi{} 1 to \ifmmode\pm\else\textpm\fi{} 5%) the exponents ${\ensuremath{\nu}}^{\ensuremath{'}}$ and ${\ensuremath{\nu}}^{c}$ are consistent with scaling predictions. Deviations of the scattering from Ornstein-Zernike forms are significantly larger quantitatively than above ${T}_{c}$; the second-moment correlation lengths verify $\frac{{{\ensuremath{\xi}}_{1}}^{+}}{{{\ensuremath{\xi}}_{1}}^{\ensuremath{-}}(T)}=1.96\ifmmode\pm\else\textpm\fi{}0.03$ as $T\ensuremath{\rightarrow}{{T}_{c}}^{\ifmmode\pm\else\textpm\fi{}}$.

Theory of critical point scattering and correlations. III. The Ising model below Tc and in a field

Howard B. Tarko, Michael Ellis Fisher

Power-series expansions of the spin-pair correlation functions of the square, sc, and bcc Ising lattices have been obtained using the semi-invariant approach for general field $H$ and temperature $T$. In three dimensions P\'ade-approximant analyses indicate $2{v}^{\ensuremath{'}}=1.285\ifmmode\pm\else\textpm\fi{}0.020$, in agreement with scaling, but $2{v}^{c}\ensuremath{\simeq}0.835\ifmmode\pm\else\textpm\fi{}0.02$ which is some (1-3)% above the scaling prediction ${v}^{c}=\frac{v}{\ensuremath{\beta}\ensuremath{\delta}}\ensuremath{\simeq}0.823$. However, ratio techniques reveal that this discrepancy can be attributed to significant confluent critical singularities. Cubic and quintic parametric representations of the critical equation of state, and corresponding expressions for the correlation length, ${\ensuremath{\xi}}_{1}(H, T)$, are developed, which are considerable improvements over the linear model. The universality and spherical symmetry of the critical scattering intensity $\stackrel{^}{\ensuremath{\chi}}(\stackrel{\ensuremath{\rightarrow}}{\mathrm{k}}, H, T)$ is confirmed to within (1-2)% by estimating suitable invariant combinations of amplitudes. The deviations from Ornstein-Zernike theory for general $H$ and $T$ are found to be considerably greater than for $H=0$, $T>{T}_{c}$. Complete parametric scaling representations of $\stackrel{^}{\ensuremath{\chi}}(\stackrel{\ensuremath{\rightarrow}}{\mathrm{k}}, H, T)$ are developed for three dimensions; corresponding scaling approximants are constructed in two dimensions but only for $T={T}_{c}$ and for $T\ensuremath{\gtrless}{T}_{c}$ with $H=0$.

High-Temperature Series and Critical Amplitudes for the Spin-Spin Correlations of the Three-Dimensional Ising Ferromagnet

Martin V. Ferer, Michael Wortis

High-temperature series for the inverse spin-spin correlation function of the $s=\frac{1}{2}$ Ising ferromagnet are presented for the three cubic lattices. Series are tabulated to twelfth order in $K=\ensuremath{\beta}J$ in zero magnetic field and to eighth order in finite field. Direct series expansions for the true correlation length are derived. The critical correlations are analyzed for scaling behavior in both position and momentum space. The critical amplitudes which characterize the correlations both at ${T}_{c}$ and in the Ornstein---Zernike region are determined. The Fisher---Burford scattering approximant is found to be consistent with the data. Finally, the consequences of the universality hypothesis are formulated for the correlations. Correlation-amplitude data for the three cubic lattices are shown to be in remarkable agreement with a formulation of universality which requires that the free energy in a region of diameter given by the coherence length be scale independent.

Updated tests of scaling and universality for spin-spin correlations in the two- and three- dimensional spin- S Ising models using high-temperature expansions

P. Butera, M. Comi

We have extended, from order 12 through order 25, the high-temperature series expansions (in zero magnetic field) for the spin-spin correlations of the spin-$S$ Ising models on the square, simple-cubic and body-centered-cubic lattices. On the basis of this large set of data, we confirm accurately the validity of the scaling and universality hypotheses by resuming several tests which involve the correlation function, its moments and the exponential or the second-moment correlation lengths.

Spin-Spin Correlation Function of the Three-Dimensional Ising Ferromagnet Above the Curie Temperature

M A Moore, David Jasnow, Michael Wortis

High-temperature series expansions for the Ising model's spin-spin correlation function are found to order ${(\frac{J}{\mathrm{kT}})}^{12}$ on the simple cubic, bcc, and fcc latices. Analysis of moment series indicates that the scaling form of the correlation function is correct, at least in the limit $\ensuremath{\kappa}r$ fixed, $\ensuremath{\kappa}\ensuremath{\rightarrow}0$. Values are obtained for the correlation indices $\ensuremath{\nu}$ and $\ensuremath{\eta}$-the latter by two methods, thereby providing a direct check on the scaling law.

Theory of Critical-Point Scattering and Correlations. II. Heisenberg Models

Douglas S. Ritchie, Michael Ellis Fisher

The spin-spin correlation functions and the critical-scattering intensity for Heisenberg models of general spin, $S=\frac{1}{2}$ to $\ensuremath{\infty}$, on the sc, bcc, and fcc lattices are studied on the basis of high-temperature series expansions along the lines developed in Paper I [M. E. Fisher and R. J. Burford, Phys. Rev. 156, 583 (1967)]. Subject to increased uncertainties for low spin, it is concluded that the exponents $\ensuremath{\gamma}={1.375}_{\ensuremath{-}0.01}^{+0.02}$, $2\ensuremath{\nu}={1.405}_{\ensuremath{-}0.01}^{+0.02}$, and $\ensuremath{\eta}=0.043\ifmmode\pm\else\textpm\fi{}0.014$ describe all lattices and all spin. Explicit formulas are presented for the susceptibility/zero-angle scattering ${\ensuremath{\chi}}_{0}(T)$, for the inverse correlation length ${\ensuremath{\kappa}}_{1}(T)$, for the effective interaction range ${r}_{1}(T)$, and using the Fisher-Burford approximant, for the total scattering $\stackrel{^}{\ensuremath{\chi}}(\stackrel{\ensuremath{\rightarrow}}{\mathrm{k}},T)$. The shape parameter ${\ensuremath{\varphi}}_{c}$ attains the "universal" value ${\ensuremath{\varphi}}_{c}\ensuremath{\simeq}0$. 11 for large spin but shows signs of spin dependence (and lattice dependence) for low spin. At fixed k the scattering is predicted to display a maximum above ${T}_{c}$ determined by $\frac{{\ensuremath{\kappa}}_{1}({T}_{max})}{k}\ensuremath{\simeq}0.10 (\mathrm{for} S\ensuremath{\gtrsim}2)$ to 0.15. A detailed study is made of the structure dependence of the critical-point correlations ${〈{S}_{0}^{z}{S}_{\stackrel{\ensuremath{\rightarrow}}{\mathrm{r}}}^{z}〉}_{c}$ for various models. This leads to the revised, universal estimate ${\ensuremath{\varphi}}_{c}\ensuremath{\simeq}0$. 15 for all three cubic lattice, spin-\textonehalf{} Ising models. The results are compared d briefly with various experiments which support $\ensuremath{\eta}\ensuremath{\gtrsim}0.05$.

Extension to order β23 of the high-temperature expansions for the spin- 12 Ising model on simple cubic and body-centered cubic lattices

P. Butera, M. Comi

Using a renormalized linked-cluster-expansion method, we have extended to order ${\ensuremath{\beta}}^{23}$ the high-temperature series for the susceptibility $\ensuremath{\chi}$ and the second-moment correlation length $\ensuremath{\xi}$ of the spin-1/2 Ising models on the sc and the bcc lattices. A study of these expansions yields updated direct estimates of universal parameters, such as exponents and amplitude ratios, which characterize the critical behavior of $\ensuremath{\chi}$ and $\ensuremath{\xi}.$ Our best estimates for the inverse critical temperatures are ${\ensuremath{\beta}}_{c}^{\mathrm{sc}}=0.221654(1)$ and ${\ensuremath{\beta}}_{c}^{\mathrm{bcc}}=0.1573725(6).$ For the susceptibility exponent we get $\ensuremath{\gamma}=1.2375(6)$ and for the correlation length exponent $\ensuremath{\nu}=0.6302(4).$ The ratio of the critical amplitudes of $\ensuremath{\chi}$ above and below the critical temperature is estimated to be ${C}_{+}{/C}_{\ensuremath{-}}=4.762(8).$ The analogous ratio for $\ensuremath{\xi}$ is estimated to be ${f}_{+}{/f}_{\ensuremath{-}}=1.963(8).$ For the correction-to-scaling amplitude ratio we obtain ${a}_{\ensuremath{\xi}}^{+}{/a}_{\ensuremath{\chi}}^{+}=0.87(6).$
