Abstract

The linear Z(3) spin system in the presence of a magnetic field is studied by a dedecoration renormalisation group (RG) transformation. In order to perform the transformation, non-usual terms must be added to the Hamiltonian. The linear region around a particular T=0 fixed point, where these terms go to zero, is investigated and the 'critical behaviour' of the free energy, correlation function and susceptibility is obtained. The system is solved exactly and the results are compared with those obtained by the RG approach. Magnetisation and susceptibility curves against temperature are also shown.

Quantum crossover behaviour of the Ising model in a transverse field for the spatial dimensions 2<d<3, d=3 and 3<d<4

K. Lukierska‐Walasek, Katarzyna Walasek

The field theoretical renormalisation group method, which correctly describes the critical as well as the multicritical (at zero temperature) behaviours of the quantum mechanical d-dimensional Ising model in a transverse magnetic field, is proposed. Due to the introduction of the additional renormalisation the singularities associated with zero temperature have been removed. The crossover scaling form of the inverse correlation length and longitudinal susceptibility are considered for the following spatial dimensions d:2<d<3, d=3 and 3<d<4. For 2<d<3, d=3 and 3<d<4 the calculations are performed to the first order in 3-d and 4-d, respectively.

Renormalisation-group approach to the spin glass transition in finite magnetic fields

Alan J. Bray, S. A. Roberts

Renormalisation-group methods are applied in 6- epsilon dimensions in an attempt to determine the critical behaviour at the phase boundary between paramagnetic and spin glass phases in a finite magnetic field (i.e. at the de Almeida-Thouless instability). No stable fixed points, accessible from the domain of physical initial Hamiltonians, are found. Possible interpretations of this result are discussed.

Renormalization-group transformation for quantum lattice systems at zero temperature

J. E. Hirsch, Gene F. Mazenko

We propose a new renormalization-group (RG) method applicable to quantum systems defined on a lattice at zero temperature. We apply our method to the one-dimensional Ising model in a transverse field and the two-dimensional triangular Ising model in a transverse field. In both cases, a nontrivial fixed point of our RG transformation is found. Critical exponents are calculated and compared with exact and previous RG results.

Two-dimensional quantum-spin-1/2 XXZ magnet in zero magnetic field: Global thermodynamics from renormalisation group theory

Ozan S. Sarıyer

Phase diagram, critical properties and thermodynamic functions of the two-dimensional field-free quantum-spin-1/2 XXZ model has been calculated globally using a numerical renormalisation group theory. The nearest-neighbour spin-spin correlations and entanglement properties, as well as internal energy and specific heat are calculated globally at all temperatures for the whole range of exchange interaction anisotropy, from XY limit to Ising limits, for both antiferromagnetic and ferromagnetic cases. We show that there exists long-range (quasi-long-range) order at low-temperatures, and the low-lying excitations are gapped (gapless) in the Ising-like easy-axis (XY-like easy-plane) regime. Besides, we identify quantum phase transitions at zero-temperature.

Linear renormalization transformation for weakly interacting spin chains

J. Szṅajd

The linear renormalization-group transformation is proposed to study critical temperatures and temperature dependence of the thermodynamic values (free energy, specific heat) of the weakly interacting spin chains. The method is examined in two classical systems: the standard Ising model on a rectangular lattice and the Ising spin chains coupled by pair-pair interactions. In the latter case the transformation does not exhibit any nontrivial fixed point. This result agrees with the exactly determined free energy of the system under consideration. The method is also applied to the weakly interacting quantum XY spin chains. The critical temperature as a function of the interchain interactions and the temperature dependence of the specific heat are found.

Quantum effects in the critical properties of X-Y model in a transverse magnetic field

Paul R. Gerber, H Beck

The critical properties of a quantum-mechanical X-Y model in a transverse magnetic field are calculated. At zero temperature near the critical field Gamma c a Gaussian type behaviour is observed for dimensions higher than two. The exponent which describes the rescaling of frequencies is here z=2. For d<2 a renormalisation group treatment produces a non-trivial fixed point. However, the exponents remain unchanged to first order in epsilon =2-d.
