Abstract

The two-dimensional axial Ising model with competing interactions up to third neighbors is studied by analytical methods. A low-temperature approximation is used to describe the system as a sequence of interacting and nonreversing domain walls for small values of the third-neighbor interaction. The boundaries of the ferromagnetic and other low-temperature modulated phases are obtained by means of the ground-state energy of the Heisenberg-Ising chain after reducing the problem to a system of spinless interacting fermions in one dimension. The density of walls or wave number obtained within this approximation results to be continuously varying and for some relations among the coupling constants it displays plateaus and re-entrant phenomena.

Two-dimensional axial third-nearest-neighbor Ising model and theS=1/2 anisotropic Heisenberg chain

Marcelo D. Grynberg, Horacio Ceva

We consider an axial Ising model with competing interactions up to third neighbors within a low-temperature approximation in terms of interacting and nonreversing domain walls. Assuming small third-neighbor coupling, we find a close relation between the transfer matrix of this classical model and the Hamiltonian of an S=1/2 anisotropic Heisenberg chain in a uniform magnetic field. This connection allows us to obtain the phase boundaries of the ferromagnetic and other low-temperature modulated states. The ground-state energy for arbitrary magnetization values of the Heisenberg chain is shown to provide information about the density of walls or wave number. In contrast with the two-dimensional axial next-nearest-neighbor Ising model, this quantity displays plateaus and reentrant behavior for some relations among the coupling constants. An alternative way to evaluate correlation functions in the antiferromagnetic Heisenberg chain is presented.

Interacting-fermion approximation in the two-dimensional axial next-nearest-neighbor Ising model

Marcelo D. Grynberg, Horacio Ceva

We investigate the effect of including doman-wall interactions in the two-dimensional axial next-nearest-neighbor Ising model. At low temperatures this problem is reduced to a one-dimensional system of interacting fermions which can be treated exactly. It is found that the critical boundaries of the low-temperature phases are in good agreement with those obtained using a free-fermion approximation. In contrast with the monotonic behavior derived from the free-fermion approach, the wall density or wave number displays reentrant phenomena when the ratio of the next-nearest-neighbor and nearest-neighbor interactions is greater than 1/2.

Modulation of Local Magnetization in Two-Dimensional Axial-Next-Nearest-Neighbor Ising Model

René Derian, Andrej Gendiar, Tomotoshi Nishino

The axial next-nearest-neighbor Ising model is studied in two dimensions at finite temperature using the density matrix renormalization group. The model exhibits phase transition of the second-order between the antiphase in low temperature and the modulated phase in high temperature. Observing the domain wall free energy, we confirm that the modulation period in high-temperature side is well explained by the free-fermion picture.

Zero-temperature dynamics in the two-dimensional axial next-nearest-neighbor Ising model

Soham Biswas, Anjan Kumar Chandra, Parongama Sen

We investigate the dynamics of a two-dimensional axial next-nearest-neighbor Ising model following a quench to zero temperature. The Hamiltonian is given by H= -J_(0) summation operator(L)_(i,j=1)S_(i,j)S_(i+1,j)-J_(1)summation operator_(i,j=1)(S_{i,j}S_{i,j+1}-kappaS_{i,j}S_{i,j+2}) . For kappa<1 , the system does not reach the equilibrium ground state but slowly evolves to a metastable state. For kappa>1 , the system shows a behavior similar to that of the two-dimensional ferromagnetic Ising model in the sense that it freezes to a striped state with a finite probability. The persistence probability shows algebraic decay here with an exponent theta=0.235+/-0.001 while the dynamical exponent of growth z=2.08+/-0.01 . For kappa=1 , the system belongs to a completely different dynamical class; it always evolves to the true ground state with the persistence and dynamical exponent having unique values. Much of the dynamical phenomena can be understood by studying the dynamics and distribution of the number of domain walls. We also compare the dynamical behavior to that of a Ising model in which both the nearest and next-nearest-neighbor interactions are ferromagnetic.

Two-Dimensional Ising Ferromagnet with Second-Neighbor Interaction. III. Series-Expansion Method

Sei-ichi Takase

The square Ising ferromagnet is investigated by computer simulation in the region of competing interactions (nearest-neighbor interaction K >0 and second-neighbor one K '<0). Spontaneous magnetization M 0 and energy E are calculated from advanced Monte Carlo calculations. The estimates of M 0 and of the Curie point T c ( K '/ K ) determined by analyzing the data on E are compared with the results from analysis of low-temperature series based on the assumption β=1/8. The values of T c ( K '/ K ) are obtained from padé-approximant method for low-temperature series. The value of β does not vary from the Onsager's value 1/8.

Finite-size-scaling estimation of critical exponents in the two-dimensional axial next-nearest-neighbor Ising model

Marcelo D. Grynberg, Horacio Ceva

The magnetic critical exponent of the two-dimensional axial next-nearest-neighbor Ising model is estimated by means of the finite-size scaling of the order parameter. For a finite system without ordering field, this magnitude is computed from the two leading eigenvectors of the transfer matrix. The ferromagnetic-paramagnetic transition temperatures estimated with this method exhibit a small lattice-size dependence. Moreover, they are in good agreement with those obtained using phenomenological renormalization, and also with analytical approximations. The correlation-length critical exponent is calculated by means of phenomenological renormalization. The results found with these numerical techniques indicate that the ferromagnetic-paramagnetic transition of the model seems to be continuous, in contradiction with a previous result obtained using the persistence-length criterion, which indicated that the transition is always first order. We found that the phase transition is first order only when the ratio of the next-nearest-neighbor and nearest-neighbor interactions equals one-half.
