Renormalization-group study of the ferromagnetic Ising model on the triangular lattice

Abstract

The dynamic real-space renormalization group of Mazenko and Valls is applied to the zero-field ferromagnetic Ising model on the triangular lattice. Renormalization equations valid for all temperatures above the critical temperature ${T}_{c}$ are derived for the susceptibility, specific heat, structure factor, and correlation length. The magnetization is found for $T<{T}_{c}$. The critical exponents and amplitudes for these quantities are calculated. The agreement between the known static properties and the renormalization-group results is good to excellent, and shows that this renormalization-group method can accurately calculate nonuniversal, as well as universal, quantities on different lattices. The computed dynamic structure factor, however, exhibits nonmonotonic behavior as a function of temperature. This nonmonotonic behavior is conjectured to be due to approximations in determining the expansion parameters.

Zero-temperature renormalization-group method for quantum systems. III. Ising model in a transverse field in two dimensions

K. A. Penson, Rémi Jullien, Pierre M. Pfeuty

A newly developed zero-temperature real-space renormalization-group method is applied to the quantum Ising model with a transverse field on different two-dimensional lattices: hexagonal, triangular, and quadratic. The order parameter, spin-spin correlation functions, the critical fields, and the critical exponents describing the low-field-large-field transition are calculated. The influence of size and shape of the spin blocks used in the iterative process is discussed. The results for triangular and hexagonal lattices are new; for the quadratic lattice the calculations show an encouraging agreement with previous series-expansion results. The expected equivalence to the critical behavior of the three-dimensional Ising model is discussed: A reasonable agreement is obtained for the hexagonal lattice.

Real-space dynamic renormalization group: Systematics for T>~Tc

Gene F. Mazenko, Oriol T. Valls

In this paper we systematize the real-space dynamic-renormalization-group method we developed elsewhere. We treat the two-dimensional kinetic Ising model with relaxational dynamics defined on a square lattice. We show how one can set up a systematic perturbation-theory expansion which treats the coupling between cells of spins as a small parameter. The novel feature of the expansion is that it provides a method for determining the appropriate effective interaction between spins in a set of uncoupled cells. By obtaining a good zeroth-order approximation for a set of uncoupled cells, one finds that the effective interaction between cells is reduced. Similar ideas are also applied to the dynamics of the problem and we indicate how one can obtain a good zeroth-order approximation in terms of the dynamics of uncoupled cells. We couple these perturbation theory ideas to the real-space dynamic-renormalization-group method and carry out explicit calculations of a variety of observable quantities including the magnetic susceptibility, specific heat, static structure factor, time-dependent spin-autocorrelation function, and the dynamic structure factor. In every case we obtain excellent results in keeping with the scaling behavior near the phase transition and the high-temperature limit.

A Renormalization Group Study of the Ising Model on a Triangular Lattice with Long-Range Interactions

Sze-Shiang Feng, Qiu Xijun

The critical exponents of the triangular lattice Ising model with long-range interactions are calculated by the real space renormalization group. Using the simplest Kadanoff blocks and the lowest approximation of cumulant expansion, it is shown that there exists a finite critical temperature when .

Spin- S Ising susceptibility on the triangular lattice

John P. VAN DYKE, William J. Camp

The high-temperature susceptibility of the spin-$S$ Ising model on the triangular net is analyzed as a function of $S$ using tenth-order high-temperature series expansions. In particular the spin dependence of the critical temperature and the amplitude of the dominant singularity are obtained by assuming a universal value $\ensuremath{\gamma}=\frac{7}{4}$ for the critical exponent of the susceptibility. The results, for the critical temperature particularly, provide a valuable guidepost in judging the convergence of recent nonlinear renormalization-group calculations for these models.

Dynamical Correlation Functions in the Two-Dimensional Kinetic Ising Model: A Real-Space Renormalization-Group Approach

Gene F. Mazenko, J. E. Hirsch, Michael J. Nolan +1 more

A real-space dynamic renormalization-group scheme is used to evaluate static and dynamic correlation functions for a kinetic Ising model on a two-dimensional square lattice. The critical exponents obtained from the correlation functions calculated using this method satisfy the proper static and dynamic scaling relations and are in excellent agreement with known values.

Extrapolated renormalization-group calculation of the surface tension in square-lattice Ising model

Evaldo M. F. Curado, Constantino Tsallis, Silvio V. F. Levy +1 more

By using self-dual clusters (whose sizes are characterized by the numbers $b=2,3,4,5$), we calculate within a real-space renormalization-group framework, the longitudinal surface tension of the square-lattice first-neighbor \textonehalf{}-spin ferromagnetic Ising model. The exact critical temperature ${T}_{c}$ is recovered for any value of $b$; the exact asymptotic behavior of the surface tension in the limit of low temperatures is analytically recovered; the approximate correlation-length critical exponents monotonically tend towards the exact value $\ensuremath{\nu}=1$ (which, for two dimensions, coincides with the surface-tension critical exponent $\ensuremath{\mu}$) for increasingly large cells; the same behavior is noticed in the approximate values for the surface-tension amplitude in the limit $T\ensuremath{\rightarrow}{T}_{c}$. We develop four different numerical procedures for extrapolating to $b\ensuremath{\rightarrow}\ensuremath{\infty}$ the renormalization-group (RG) results for the surface tension, and quite satisfactory agreement is obtained with Onsager's exact expression (error varying from zero to a few percent on the whole temperature domain). Furthermore, we compare the set of RG surface tensions with a set of biased surface tensions (associated with appropriate misfit seams) and find only fortuitous coincidence among them.
