Ferromagnetism and antiferromagnetism in the quantum Ising model

Abstract

The Ising model in a magnetic field is studied in its quantum version. The particular realization of the renormalization group proposed gives both the ferromagnetic and antiferromagnetic fixed points. The critical exponents are obtained in a very simple analytical way.

Ferromagnetism and antiferromagnetism in the Potts model in (1 + 1) and (2 + 1) dimensions

L.N. Epele, Huner Fanchiotti A, Carlos A. García Canal

A previously proposed renormalization-group realization is applied to the $q$-state Potts model for any $q$ in (1 + 1)- and (2 + 1)-dimensional lattices of different coordination number. Ferromagnetic and antiferromagnetic critical points are found and the corresponding exponents are computed in a very simple way.

Phase diagrams and fixed points

John Cardy

In the previous chapter, the ferromagnetic Ising model provided a simple example of a phase diagram with an associated fixed point structure of the renormalization group flows. There were stable fixed points corresponding to low and high temperature phases, and a critical fixed point controlling the behaviour of critical Ising Systems. However, more realistic systems often have more complicated phase diagrams, and therefore a richer fixed point structure. In this chapter we study some of these examples, and show how, even with a rather qualitative description of renormalization group flows, it is possible to understand phase diagrams from the renormalization group viewpoint. More importantly, when more than one non-trivial fixed point is present, the question arises as to which is the dominant one in a particular region of the phase space. The renormalization group answers this question through the theory of cross-over behaviour . The existence of such phenomena, whereby different fixed points may influence the properties of the same system on different length scales, is totally absent in mean field treatments. Ising model with vacancies As a first example, consider a generalisation of the Ising model in which the spin variables s ( r ) may take the value 0 as well as ±1. This may be viewed as the classical version of a quantum spin-1 magnet, or as a lattice gas of magnetic particles, with | s ( r )| playing the role of the occupation number.

Study on Phase Transitions of Antiferromagnetic Ising Models Using the Coherent-Anomaly Method

Adam Lipowski, Masuo Suzuki

The coherent-anomaly method proposed by one of the authors (M.S.) combined with a transfer-matrix version of the double-cluster approximation is applied to antiferromagnetic Ising models. We determined both the critical temperature and the critical exponent γ as functions of an external magnetic field. For a square lattice, our results are in a good agreement with the ones obtained recently by the phenomenological renormalization method. For triangle and simple cubic lattices, our results are less definite but still in a qualitative agreement with values predicted by other methods.

RANDOM FIELD IN ONE DIMENSION : A RENORMALIZATION GROUP APPROACH

M. A. Contínentino, S. Moss de Oliveira, P.M.C. de Oliveira

We study the one dimensional random field Ising model using a real space renormalization group approach. We consider both the ferromagnet and the antiferromagnet and show that they respond differently to a random field perturbation. We obtain exponents associated with the uniform and the random field problems.

On the renormalization group fixed point of the two-dimensional Ising model at criticality

Alexander Stottmeister, Tobias J. Osborne

We analyze the renormalization group fixed point of the two-dimensional Ising model at criticality. In contrast with expectations from tensor network renormalization (TNR), we show that a simple, explicit analytic description of this fixed point using operator-algebraic renormalization (OAR) is possible. Specifically, the fixed point is characterized in terms of spin-spin correlation functions. Explicit error bounds for the approximation of continuum correlation functions are given.

Determination of the Critical Points of Antiferromagnetic Ising Model with Next Nearest Neighbour Interactions on the Triangular Lattice

Seiji Miyashita, Hidetsugu Kitatani, Yasumasa Kanada

Positions of critical temperatures of antiferromagnetic Ising model with ferromagnetic next nearest neighbour interactions on the triangular lattice are investigated by making use of their properties of the Kosterlitz-Thouless type of phase transition. In particular, finite-size scaling method and Monte Carlo Renormalization Group methods (MCRG) with flow diagrams of the anomalous dimension η show the fixed line structure where the correlation length diverges. Another MCRG with flow diagram of the stiffness constant also shows a critical property clearly. The temperature dependence of the long range order is also discussed in order to locate the lower critical point.
