Critical exponents for ferromagnetic systems with Ruderman-Kittel-Kasuya-Yosida interactions

Abstract

The asymptotic critical exponents of a ferromagnetic spherical model on a simple cubic lattice with Ruderman-Kittel-Kasuya-Yosida interactions are calculated. These interactions are of long range but oscillating in sign and therefore lead to the same asymptotic critical behavior as the corresponding nearest-neighbor model.

Spherical Model with Long-Range Ferromagnetic Interactions

G S Joyce

The behavior of the spherical model of a ferromagnet with an interaction energy between the magnetic spins which varies with distance as $\frac{1}{{r}^{d+\ensuremath{\sigma}}}$ (where $d$ is the dimensionality of the lattice and $\ensuremath{\sigma}>0$) is analyzed. It is shown that the model exhibits a ferromagnetic transition in one and two dimensions, providing $0<\ensuremath{\sigma}<d$. (The usual spherical model with nearest-neighbor interactions does not have a transition in one and two dimensions.) The critical-point behavior is investigated. It is found that the singularities in the specific heat and susceptibility are dependent on $\ensuremath{\sigma}$ and $d$, but the behavior of the magnetization is independent of $\ensuremath{\sigma}$ and $d$. In three dimensions the susceptibility diverges as ${(T\ensuremath{-}{T}_{c})}^{\ensuremath{-}\ensuremath{\gamma}}$, where $\ensuremath{\gamma}=1$ for $0<\ensuremath{\sigma}<\frac{3}{2}$, $\ensuremath{\gamma}=\frac{\ensuremath{\sigma}}{(3\ensuremath{-}\ensuremath{\sigma})}$ for $\frac{3}{2}<\ensuremath{\sigma}<2$ and $\ensuremath{\gamma}=2$ for $\ensuremath{\sigma}>2$. The asymptotic form of the spin-spin correlation function $\ensuremath{\Gamma}(\mathrm{r})$ is studied in the neighborhood of the critical temperature ${T}_{c}$. At $T={T}_{c}$, $\ensuremath{\Gamma}(\mathrm{r})$ decays for large $r$ as $\frac{1}{{r}^{d\ensuremath{-}\ensuremath{\sigma}}}$. Several two-dimensional models with long-range interactions falling off as $\frac{1}{{r}^{2}}$ in certain directions only are also investigated.

Critical behavior of the three-dimensional Ising model with nearest-neighbor, next-nearest-neighbor, and plaquette interactions

Emilio N. M. Cirillo, Giuseppe Gonnella, Alessandro Pelizzola

The critical and multicritical behavior of the simple cubic Ising model with nearest-neighbor, next-nearest-neighbor, and plaquette interactions is studied using the cube and star-cube approximations of the cluster variation method and the recently proposed cluster variation--Pad\'eapproximant method. Particular attention is paid to the line of critical end points of the ferromagnetic-paramagnetic phase transition: its (multi)critical exponents are calculated, and their values suggest that the transition belongs to a different universality class. A rough estimate of the crossover exponent is also given.

On the critical behaviour of the spherical model with competing ferro- and antiferromagnetic interactions. I

Jacek Wojtkiewicz

A family of three-dimensional spherical models is considered. These models have a ferromagnetic coupling between nearest neighbours and anisotropic finite range interactions (both ferro- and antiferromagnetic) along one of the axes. It is possible to examine the critical behaviour of these models in the neighbourhood of the critical point and to calculate exactly the critical exponents. They depend on the range of interactions and values of coupling constants. Thus, a non-universality of critical exponents in this family is observed.

Low-temperature renormalization group for ferromagnets with long-range interactions

Josef Sak

Ferromagnets with the number of spin components $n>2$ and with power-law interactions ${r}^{\ensuremath{-}d\ensuremath{-}\ensuremath{\sigma}}$ are studied in dimensions $d=2+\ensuremath{\epsilon}$ for small $\ensuremath{\epsilon}$. The following theorem is proved: Let ${\ensuremath{\eta}}_{\mathrm{SR}}$ be the value of the critical exponent $\ensuremath{\eta}$ for short-range force (e.g., nearest-neighbor exchange). Then in the presence of the long-range power-law interaction the critical behavior is the same as for short-range interactions provided that the inequality $2\ensuremath{-}\ensuremath{\sigma}<{\ensuremath{\eta}}_{\mathrm{SR}}$ is satisfied. In this case the critical exponents depend on $d$ and $n$ but not on $\ensuremath{\sigma}$. In the opposite case, the value of $\ensuremath{\eta}$ is ${\ensuremath{\eta}}_{\mathrm{LR}}=2\ensuremath{-}\ensuremath{\sigma}$ and the critical exponent $\ensuremath{\nu}$ depends on $\ensuremath{\sigma}$ in addition to $d$ and $n$.

Critical scaling to infinite temperature

P. H. Lundow, Ian A. Campbell

Three-dimensional Ising model ferromagnets on different lattices with nearest-neighbor interactions, and on simple-cubic lattices with equivalent interactions out to further neighbors, are studied numerically. The susceptibility data for all these systems are analyzed using the critical renormalization-group theory formalism over the entire temperature range above ${T}_{c}$ with an appropriate choice of scaling variable and scaling expressions. Representative experimental data on a metallic ferromagnet (Ni) and an elementary fluid (Xe) are interpreted in the same manner so as to estimate effective coordination numbers.

Computer simulation of the critical behavior of magnetic systems with competition between the short- and long-range interactions

С. В. Белим, И. Б. Ларионов, R. V. Soloneckiy

Critical behavior of Ising ferromagnetic systems with the competition between short- and long-range interactions near the point of a second-order phase transition has been investigated. The effects of long-range interaction lead to the need to calculate the influence of next-nearest spins, which lie inside the sphere of a specific radius. The study was carried out for a power law of decreaseing the exchange integral with distance for a three-dimensional Ising model with a cubic lattice. A comparison with the results of a field-theoretical approach and data of real experiments has been carried out. It has been shown that the critical temperature grows linearly with an increase in the parameters of long-range interaction. Critical exponents have been calculated at different parameters of long-range interaction. It is shown that at small dimensions of a system it is the short-range interaction that exerts the dominant effect on the critical behavior of the system. With an increase in the linear dimension of the system, long-range forces begin to dominate.

The behavior of the spherical model of a ferromagnet with an interaction energy between the magnetic spins which varies with distance as $\frac{1}{{r}^{d+\ensuremath{\sigma}}}$ (where ddd is the dimensionality of the lattice and $\ensuremath{\sigma}>0$) is analyzed. It is shown that the model exhibits a ferromagnetic transition in one and two dimensions, providing $0<\ensuremath{\sigma}<d$. (The usual spherical model with nearest-neighbor interactions does not have a transition in one and two dimensions.) The critical-point behavior is investigated. It is found that the singularities in the specific heat and susceptibility are dependent on $\ensuremath{\sigma}$ and ddd, but the behavior of the magnetization is independent of $\ensuremath{\sigma}$ and ddd. In three dimensions the susceptibility diverges as ${(T\ensuremath{-}{T}_{c})}^{\ensuremath{-}\ensuremath{\gamma}}$, where $\ensuremath{\gamma}=1$ for $0<\ensuremath{\sigma}<\frac{3}{2}$, $\ensuremath{\gamma}=\frac{\ensuremath{\sigma}}{(3\ensuremath{-}\ensuremath{\sigma})}$ for $\frac{3}{2}<\ensuremath{\sigma}<2$ and $\ensuremath{\gamma}=2$ for $\ensuremath{\sigma}>2$. The asymptotic form of the spin-spin correlation function $\ensuremath{\Gamma}(\mathrm{r})$ is studied in the neighborhood of the critical temperature Tc{T}_{c}Tc​. At T=TcT={T}_{c}T=Tc​, $\ensuremath{\Gamma}(\mathrm{r})$ decays for large rrr as $\frac{1}{{r}^{d\ensuremath{-}\ensuremath{\sigma}}}$. Several two-dimensional models with long-range interactions falling off as 1r2\frac{1}{{r}^{2}}r21​ in certain directions only are also investigated.
