Filling Transition: Exact Results for Ising Corners

Douglas B. Abraham, Anna Maciołek

Published Dec 27, 2002• 49 citations
Publisher

Abstract

We obtain the exact solution for a two-dimensional rectangular Ising ferromagnet forming a corner with a surface field applied to the spins on edges. We establish the existence of the filling transition and give the condition for the filling temperature. We discuss the basic properties of the transition.

Correlation Functions in a Corner-Shaped Ising Model

Douglas B. Abraham, F. T. Latrémolière

We obtain exact results at all temperatures for the two-point function of surface spins near the corner of a two-dimensional rectangular Ising ferromagnet; at the critical point, the functional form predicted by conformal theory is recovered. We are also able to calculate exactly a large class of correlation functions involving spins off the surface, and to interpret the results geometrically.

Surface critical behavior in Ising magnets: Exact results

Douglas B. Abraham, Anna Maciołek

An exact derivation of the surface magnetizations of the two phases m(1)I and m(1)II coexisting below the bulk critical temperature for the semi-infinite two-dimensional Ising ferromagnet subject to a surface field is given. The surface critical behavior of the difference m(1)I - m(1)II is that of the ordinary transition only in a limit of a weak surface field below the wetting temperature.

Ising cubes with enhanced surface couplings

Michel Pleimling, Walter Selke

Using Monte Carlo techniques, Ising cubes with ferromagnetic nearest-neighbor interactions and enhanced couplings between surface spins are studied. In particular, at the surface transition, the corner magnetization shows nonuniversal, coupling-dependent critical behavior in the thermodynamic limit. Results on the critical exponent of the corner magnetization are compared to previous findings on two-dimensional Ising models with three intersecting defect lines.

Corner transfer matrices and corner magnetization for the Ising model

Brian Davies, Ingo Peschel

The authors consider the corner magnetization of an Ising square lattice with free edges along a diagonal direction. Using some remarkable properties of the corner transfer matrix, they give a unified treatment for various opening angles. The calculation of the magnetization is reduced to the solution of a matrix equation. In the thermodynamic limit they construct an explicit form of this equation and discuss its numerical and asymptotic solution and the results obtained thereby.

The critical 2-dimensional Ising model with fixed boundaries

Xintian Wu, Nickolay Izmailyan

The critical 2-dimensional Ising model is studied with four types boundary conditions: free, fixed ferromagnetic, fixed antiferromagnetic, fixed double antiferromagnetic. Using Bond Propagation algorithms with surface fields, we obtained the free energy, internal energy and specific heat numerically on square lattices with square shape and various combinations of the four types boundary conditions. The numerical data are analyzed with finite size scaling. The bulk, edge and corner terms are extracted very accurately. The exact results are conjectured for the corner logarithmic term in the free energy, the edge and corner logarithmic terms in the internal energy and specific heat. The corner logarithmic terms in the free energy agree with the conformal field theory very well.

Phase boundary of the two-dimensional Ising model with ferromagnetic and antiferromagnetic interactions in a magnetic field

Craig Rottman

The interface method is used to derive the order-disorder critical temperature of the two-dimensional Ising model on a rectangular lattice with ferromagnetic interactions in the x direction and antiferromagnetic interactions in the y direction. Employing this approximation in two different ways gives different critical temperatures ${T}_{c}$ for nonzero uniform magnetic fields H. However, both of the phase boundaries ${T}_{c}$(H) reduce to the exact results available at H=0 and T=0. .AE
