Abstract

The one-dimensional Ising model in a random transverse field (taking the values Gamma 1 and Gamma 2 with probabilities p and 1-p) is studied at T=0 from a real-space renormalisation group method. The phase diagram f Gamma 1 , Gamma 2 , p) is obtained and agrees with exact results.

Renormalisation group study of the random Ising model in a transverse field in one dimension

Katarina Uzelac, Rémi Jullien, Pierre M. Pfeuty

The random Ising model in a transverse field in one dimension with Hamiltonian H=- Sigma ( Gamma i S i z +J i S i x S i+1 x ) is studied at T=O from a real-space renormalisation group block method which preserves duality transformations. The ground state magnetisation and the ground state energy are determined for random distributions P(J)(P( Gamma ))=N J J NJ-1 /J 0 N(J) for 0<J<J 0 and P(J)=0 for J>J O . A new critical behaviour corresponding to a new fixed point takes place in the presence of disorder. The crossover exponent describing the departure from the pure system behaviour is calculated. The second derivative of the ground state energy delta 2 E/ delta Gamma 2 which diverges logarithmically for the pure system is rounded in the presence of disorder but a sharp transition field still exists where the magnetisation goes to zero with an exponent beta about twice as large as the pure system exponent. Comparison is made with the analytical results of McCoy and Wu (1969) for the classical equivalent random-striped Ising 2D model.

Real-space renormalization-group approach to the random transverse-field Ising model in finite dimensions

Ryoji Miyazaki, Hidetoshi Nishimori

The transverse-field Ising models with random exchange interactions in finite dimensions are investigated by means of a real-space renormalization-group method. The scheme yields the exact values of the critical point and critical exponent $\ensuremath{\nu}$ in one dimension and some previous results in the case of random ferromagnetic interactions are reproduced in two and three dimensions. We apply the scheme to spin glasses in transverse fields in two and three dimensions, which have not been analyzed very extensively. The phase diagrams and the critical exponent $\ensuremath{\nu}$ are obtained and evidence for the existence of an infinite-randomness fixed point in these models is found.

Zero-temperature renormalisation group study of the random systems: the Ising model in a transverse field in two dimensions

G. Kamieniarz

A zero-temperature real space renormalisation group block method is applied to the random quantum Ising model with a transverse field on the planar honeycomb and square lattices. For the bound diluted system the magnetisation and the separation of the ground-state energy level (in the paramagnetic phase) are presented for several bond concentrations p. The critical exponents extracted both from the fixed points and from direct numerical computations preserve some scaling relations, and the critical curve displays a characteristic discontinuity at the percolation concentration. For the McCoy and Wu distribution (1968) the random fields and bonds are found to introduce a strong relevant disorder. The order parameter still falls off continuously to zero for well defined values of the parameters but a new fixed point yields a slight change in the critical exponents.

Renormalisation group studies of two-dimensional Ising model in a transverse magnetic field

Daniel Charles Mattis, J Gallardo

A real-space renormalisation group transformation is applied to a quantum two-dimensional problem, that of the Ising model in a transverse field on a square lattice. This enables the authors to estimate some properties of the ordinary Ising model on the three-dimensional simple cubic lattice. A straightforward method and a variational improvement thereof are contrasted in this work. Neither turns out to be capable of producing satisfactory critical exponents.

Ising model with a transverse field in two dimensions: Phase diagram and critical properties from a real-space renormalization group

Zvi Friedman

Critical indices, the critical line, and the crossover scaling function for the free energy are calculated for the two-dimensional Ising model with a transverse field using a quantum-mechanical version of the real-space renormalization group. The critical behavior as function of the transverse field at a small finite temperature changes from that of a three-dimensional to that of a two-dimensional Ising behavior, as the critical line is approached.

Real-space renormalization group for the transverse-field Ising model in two and three dimensions

Ryoji Miyazaki, Hidetoshi Nishimori, Gerardo Ortíz

The two- and three-dimensional transverse-field Ising models with ferromagnetic exchange interactions are analyzed by means of the real-space renormalization-group method. The basic strategy is a generalization of a method developed for the one-dimensional case, which exploits the exact invariance of the model under renormalization and is known to give the exact values of the critical point and critical exponent ν. The resulting values of the critical exponent ν in two and three dimensions are in good agreement with those for the classical Ising model in three and four dimensions. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first example in which a real-space renormalization group on (2+1)- and (3+1)-dimensional Bravais lattices yields accurate estimates of the critical exponents.
