Finite-size scaling of the specific heat for a three-dimensional homogeneous weakly interacting Bose gas within a canonical statistics

Jian-hui Wang, Yong-li Ma

Within a canonical ensemble treatment, we study the finite-size scaling behaviour of the specific heat near the critical region for the weakly interacting Bose gases, and obtain the specific heat exponent α and correlation length exponent ν which agree well with experimental data and previous theoretical predictions. For the small and fixed interaction parameter an 1/3 with a being the scattering length and n the particle number density, we report for the first time that the dimensionless specific heats per particle c ( t , N ) for various system sizes ( L = ( N / n ) 1/3 in a square box potential) and reduced temperatures ( t = T / T c − 1) collapse onto a single form, and the borders of universality validity are obtained numerically. From scaling arguments, we study the interaction-induced shift of the transition temperature (Δ T c = T c − T 0 c ) and find that Δ T c / T 0 c = ban 1/3 with b = 0.42 ± 0.05, where T 0 c is the ideal-gas thermodynamic critical temperature. We also compare our findings with experimental and theoretical results for in cubic lattices, showing the very different behaviours for the two systems.

Finite-size behaviour of the microcanonical specific heat

H Behringer, M Pleimling, A Hüller

For models which exhibit a continuous phase transition in the thermodynamic limit a numerical study of small systems reveals a non-monotonic behaviour of the microcanonical specific heat as a function of the system size. This is in contrast to a treatment in the canonical ensemble where the maximum of the specific heat increases monotonically with the size of the system. A phenomenological theory is developed which permits us to describe this peculiar behaviour of the microcanonical specific heat and allows in principle the determination of microcanonical critical exponents.

The discontinuity of the specific heat for the 5D Ising model

P. H. Lundow, Klas Markström

In this paper we investigate the behaviour of the specific heat around the critical point of the Ising model in dimension 5 to 7. We find a specific heat discontinuity, like that for the mean field Ising model, and provide estimates for the left and right hand limits of the specific heat at the critical point. We also estimate the singular exponents, describing how the specific heat approaches those limits. Additionally, we make a smaller scale investigation of the same properties in dimension 6 and 7, and provide strongly improved estimates for the critical temperature Kc in d=5,6,7 which bring the best MC-estimate closer to those obtained by long high temperature series expansions.
