Monte Carlo studies of correlation length and hyperscaling in the three-dimensional Ising model

Abstract

We report extensive Monte Carlo simulations and finite-size scaling analysis of the correlation length (${\ensuremath{\xi}}_{\mathrm{L}}$) for the spin-spin correlation function and the renormalized coupling (${\mathrm{g}}_{\mathrm{L}}$) of the simple-cubic Ising model with a wide range of lattice sizes (L\ensuremath{\le}96). New methods of analysis which avoid assumptions related to the correlation length were introduced. The exponents \ensuremath{\nu} and 2-\ensuremath{\alpha} were estimated from separate analysis of ${\ensuremath{\xi}}_{\mathrm{L}}$ and ${\mathrm{g}}_{\mathrm{L}}$, respectively. A value of ${\mathrm{\ensuremath{\omega}}}^{\mathrm{*}}$\ensuremath{\approxeq}0.001\ifmmode\pm\else\textpm\fi{}0.07 for the Fisher exponent is obtained. This is consistent with a very small or no violations of hyperscalings.

Monte Carlo studies of universal critical amplitudes for the three-dimensional Ising model: Correlation length and renormalized coupling

Pik-Yin Lai, K. K. Mon

We report Monte Carlo studies of the finite-size second-moment correlation length and renormalized coupling at criticality for the three-dimensional Ising model on body-centered-cubic lattices. The related finite-size scaling amplitudes are estimated and compared with the simple-cubic lattice results of recent extensive simulations. The amplitudes agreed within statistical uncertainty and are consistent with finite-size-scaling arguments for universality.

CRITICAL EXPONENTS OF THE 3-D ISING MODEL

Rajan Gupta, Pablo Tamayo

We present a status report on the ongoing analysis of the 3D Ising model with nearest-neighbor interactions using the Monte Carlo Renormalization Group (MCRG) and finite size scaling (FSS) methods on 643, 1283, and 2563 simple cubic lattices. Our MCRG estimates are [Formula: see text] and ν = 0.625(1). The FSS results for Kc are consistent with those from MCRG but the value of ν is not. Our best estimate η = 0.025(6) covers the spread in the MCRG and FSS values. A surprise of our calculation is the estimate ω ≈ 0.7 for the correction-to-scaling exponent. We also present results for the renormalized coupling gR along the MCRG flow and argue that the data support the validity of hyperscaling for the 3D Ising model.

Monte Carlo renormalization-group calculations of critical behavior in the simple-cubic Ising model

Godfrey Stuart Pawley, Robert H. Swendsen, D. J. Wallace +1 more

The Monte Carlo renormalization group is applied to the three-dimensional Ising model on simple cubic lattices with ${8}^{3}$, ${16}^{3}$, ${32}^{3}$, and ${64}^{3}$ sites. The comparison of block-spin correlation functions from the largest lattices yields the nearest-neighbor critical coupling ${K}_{1}^{c}=0.221654(6)$. After allowing for (i) interpolation to this best estimate for ${K}_{1}^{c}$, (ii) an apparent finite-size effect in the renormalization-group transformation due to the measurement of correlation functions of too few (seven) operators, and (iii) the extrapolation for the effect of a slow transient towards the fixed point, the values $\ensuremath{\nu}=0.629(4)$ and $\ensuremath{\eta}=0.031(5)$ are obtained for the thermal and magnetic exponents. The correction-to-scaling exponent $\ensuremath{\omega}$ is estimated to be around 1; to obtain an accuracy competitive with other methods requires measurements with more than seven operators. We briefly review the problem of redundant operators and indicate the future prospects for this kind of calculation.

SCALING ANALYSIS OF THE d = 3 RANDOM FIELD ISING MODEL

Laurence J. Jacobs, Michael Nauenberg

We present a Monte Carlo simulation of the d = 3 Ising model in a random magnetic field with values ±H on each lattice site. Calculations have been performed on cubic lattices with linear dimension L = 6, 8, 10 and 12, and several values of H. A finite-size scaling analysis of the data for H = 0.5, 0.75 and 1.0 is consistent with hyperscaling, and a correlation exponent v = 0.7 ± 0.1. For H = 1.50, 1.75 and 2.0 some of the L = 12 data show a discontinuity as a function of the inverse temperature β. The implications of these results are discussed.

Critical properties of the three-dimensional frustrated Ising model on a cubic lattice

Akai Kurbanovich Murtazaev, I. K. Kamilov, Рамазанов Магомедшейх Курбанович

The critical properties of the three-dimensional fully frustrated Ising model on a cubic lattice are investigated by the Monte Carlo method. The critical exponents α (heat capacity), γ (susceptibility), β (magnetization), and ν (correlation length), as well as the Fisher exponent η, are calculated in the framework of the finite-size scaling theory. It is demonstrated that the three-dimensional frustrated Ising model on a cubic lattice forms a new universality class of the critical behavior.

Pushing the limits of Monte Carlo simulations for the three-dimensional Ising model

Alan M. Ferrenberg, Jiahao Xu, David Paul Landau

While the three-dimensional Ising model has defied analytic solution, various numerical methods like Monte Carlo, Monte Carlo renormalization group, and series expansion have provided precise information about the phase transition. Using Monte Carlo simulation that employs the Wolff cluster flipping algorithm with both 32-bit and 53-bit random number generators and data analysis with histogram reweighting and quadruple precision arithmetic, we have investigated the critical behavior of the simple cubic Ising Model, with lattice sizes ranging from 16^{3} to 1024^{3}. By analyzing data with cross correlations between various thermodynamic quantities obtained from the same data pool, e.g., logarithmic derivatives of magnetization and derivatives of magnetization cumulants, we have obtained the critical inverse temperature K_{c}=0.221654626(5) and the critical exponent of the correlation length ν=0.629912(86) with precision that exceeds all previous Monte Carlo estimates.

We report extensive Monte Carlo simulations and finite-size scaling analysis of the correlation length (\ensuremathξL{\ensuremath{\xi}}_{\mathrm{L}}\ensuremathξL​) for the spin-spin correlation function and the renormalized coupling (gL{\mathrm{g}}_{\mathrm{L}}gL​) of the simple-cubic Ising model with a wide range of lattice sizes (L\ensuremath{\le}96). New methods of analysis which avoid assumptions related to the correlation length were introduced. The exponents \ensuremath{\nu} and 2-\ensuremath{\alpha} were estimated from separate analysis of \ensuremathξL{\ensuremath{\xi}}_{\mathrm{L}}\ensuremathξL​ and gL{\mathrm{g}}_{\mathrm{L}}gL​, respectively. A value of \ensuremathω∗{\mathrm{\ensuremath{\omega}}}^{\mathrm{*}}\ensuremathω∗\ensuremath{\approxeq}0.001\ifmmode\pm\else\textpm\fi{}0.07 for the Fisher exponent is obtained.
