Low-concentration series expansions for dilute spin glasses at zero temperature

Abstract

An Ising (spin- 1 / 2 ) model with random positive, negative and zero nearest-neighbour exchange coefficients is considered at zero temperature. The authors define two 'spin glass' susceptibilities, through average sums over ((s i s j ) 2 ) av and ( mod (s i s j ) mod ) av , where ( ) means averaging over degenerate ground states and ( ) av means averaging over the random bond distribution. These susceptibilities are expanded in powers of the concentrations of the non-zero bonds, for the triangular (seven terms), square (nine terms) and d-dimensional hypercubic (eight terms) lattices. All the series show a singularity, which is associated with the paramagnetic to spin-glass phase transition. The phase boundary between these phases, and the corresponding critical exponents, are estimated.

Critical and Griffiths-McCoy singularities in quantum Ising spin glasses on d -dimensional hypercubic lattices: A series expansion study

Rajiv R. P. Singh, A. P. Young

We study the ±J transverse-field Ising spin-glass model at zero temperature on d-dimensional hypercubic lattices and in the Sherrington-Kirkpatrick (SK) model, by series expansions around the strong-field limit. In the SK model and in high dimensions our calculated critical properties are in excellent agreement with the exact mean-field results, surprisingly even down to dimension d=6, which is below the upper critical dimension of d=8. In contrast, at lower dimensions we find a rich singular behavior consisting of critical and Griffiths-McCoy singularities. The divergence of the equal-time structure factor allows us to locate the critical coupling where the correlation length diverges, implying the onset of a thermodynamic phase transition. We find that the spin-glass susceptibility as well as various power moments of the local susceptibility become singular in the paramagnetic phase before the critical point. Griffiths-McCoy singularities are very strong in two dimensions but decrease rapidly as the dimension increases. We present evidence that high enough powers of the local susceptibility may become singular at the pure-system critical point.

Numerical studies of Ising spin glasses in two, three, and four dimensions

R. N. Bhatt, A. P. Young

We present the results of numerical simulations on Ising spin glasses in zero magnetic field with nearest-neighbor interactions on hyper-cubic lattices in two, three, and four dimensions with both Gaussian and \ifmmode\pm\else\textpm\fi{}J bond distributions. Finite-size scaling is used to analyze the results. In two dimensions (d=2) we agree with earlier work that the transition temperature is at ${T}_{c}$=0, and obtain the correlation-length exponent \ensuremath{\nu}, and the exponent \ensuremath{\eta}, at the zero-temperature transition for the \ifmmode\pm\else\textpm\fi{}J model. In d=3 dimensions we concentrate on results for the Gaussian distribution, since our results for the \ifmmode\pm\else\textpm\fi{}J distribution have been presented earlier. As expected, we find similar results for the two distributions, namely a nonzero ${T}_{c}$ but evidence that d=3 is close to the lower critical dimension. In a four-dimensional spin glass with Gaussian bonds we find that only a modest amount of computer time is required to show that ${T}_{c}$ is nonzero with a long-range-ordered phase below ${T}_{c}$. Our estimates for critical exponents in d=4 dimensions agree well with results from recent high-temperature-series expansions.

Phase diagram of the dilute Ising spin glass in general spatial dimension

Shye Shapira, Lior Klein, Joan Adler +2 more

We use high-temperature and low-concentration series to treat the dilute spin glass within a model with nearest-neighbor interactions which randomly assume the values +J, 0, -J with probabilities p/2, 1-p, p/2, respectively. Using the Harris no-free-end diagrams scheme in general spatial dimension, we obtained 15th-order series for ${\mathrm{\ensuremath{\chi}}}^{\mathrm{EA}}$ as a function of temperature for arbitrary dilution, 14th-order series for ${\mathrm{\ensuremath{\chi}}}^{\mathrm{EA}}$ as a function of dilution for selected temperatures, and 11th-order series for two higher derivatives of ${\mathrm{\ensuremath{\chi}}}^{\mathrm{EA}}$ with respect to the ordering field, where ${\mathrm{\ensuremath{\chi}}}^{\mathrm{EA}}$ is the Edwards-Anderson spin-glass susceptibility. Analysis of these series yields values of ${\mathit{T}}_{\mathrm{SG}}$(p), the critical temperature as a function of the dilution p or the analogous critical concentration ${\mathit{p}}_{\mathrm{SG}}$(T). Thus we determine a critical line, separating the spin-glass phase from the paramagnetic phase in the T-p plane. We find values of the critical exponent \ensuremath{\gamma} and universal amplitude ratios along the critical line. Universal amplitude ratios and dominant exponents along the critical line are identical to those of the pure spin glass for a wide range of dilution, indicating the same critical behavior as that of the pure spin glass.

Series expansions for the Ising spin glass in general dimension

Lior Klein, Joan Adler, Amnon Aharony A +2 more

We have developed 15th-order high-temperature series expansions for the study of the critical behavior of the Ising spin glass with nearest-neighbor exchange interactions each of which assumes the values \ifmmode\pm\else\textpm\fi{}J randomly. Series for the Edwards-Anderson spin-glass susceptibility (${\mathrm{\ensuremath{\chi}}}^{\mathrm{EA}}$) and two of its derivatives with respect to the ordering field have been evaluated for hypercubic lattices in general dimension, d. These extend previous general-dimension series by five terms. Certain measurable universal amplitude ratios have been estimated from the new series. Accurate critical data for d=5 and the first reliable estimates of the exponent \ensuremath{\beta} for d=4 and 5, are given. We quote \ensuremath{\gamma}=1.73\ifmmode\pm\else\textpm\fi{}0.03, 2.00\ifmmode\pm\else\textpm\fi{}0.25, and 2.${7}_{\mathrm{\ensuremath{-}}0.6}^{+1.0}$ and \ensuremath{\beta}=0.95\ifmmode\pm\else\textpm\fi{}0.04, 0.9\ifmmode\pm\else\textpm\fi{}0.1, and 0.7\ifmmode\pm\else\textpm\fi{}0.2 in 5, 4, and 3 dimensions, respectively. Our results provide a smooth extrapolation between the mean-field results above six dimensions and experiments and simulations in physical dimensions. We relate our calculated derivatives of ${\mathrm{\ensuremath{\chi}}}^{\mathrm{EA}}$ to measurements of derivatives of the magnetization with respect to a uniform magnetic field.

Critical Behavior of an Ising Spin-Glass

Rajiv R. P. Singh, Sudip Chakravarty

Critical behavior of Ising spin-glass with $\ifmmode\pm\else\textpm\fi{}J$ distribution is discussed. The results are based on the high-temperature series expansion of Edwards-Anderson susceptibility in powers of $w (=\frac{{tanh}^{2}J}{\mathrm{kT}})$ for 2D, 3D, and 4D "cubic" lattices to orders 19, 17, and 15, respectively. The lengths of the series are comparable to the best available for the pure Ising model. While 3D and 4D systems exhibit transitions at finite temperatures, in 2D a zero-temperature transition with a power-law divergence (in inverse temperature) for the susceptibility is found. The estimates of critical temperatures and exponents are presented.

Series Study of a Spin-Glass Model in Continuous Dimensionality

Ronald Fisch, A. Brooks Harris

A high-temperature series expansion for the Edwards and Anderson spin-glass order-parameter susceptibility is computed for Ising spins on hypercubic lattices with nearest-neighbor interactions. The series is analyzed by Pad\'e approximants with Rudnick-Nelson-type corrections to scaling. The results agree with the first-order $\ensuremath{\epsilon}$ expansion of Harris, Lubensky, and Chen. The critical exponent ${\ensuremath{\gamma}}_{Q}$ increases monotonically with decreasing dimension, $d$, for $d<6$, and apparently tends to infinity at $d=4$; however, the critical temperature does not appear to go to zero at $d=4$.
