A renormalisation-group method for lattice gas models

A. Šurda

Published Sep 11, 1984• 3 citations
Publisher

Abstract

A new method for calculating the critical temperature and critical exponents of classical discrete models, based on the renormalisation-group method and the cluster variational method, is developed. In the lowest approximation, using the mean field approximation and quasichemical approximation, the results for the two-dimensional Ising model are obtained within 2% accuracy.

Two-step renormalisation group for Ising systems

O. F. de Alcantara Bonfim, F. C. Sá Barreto, M. A. De Moura

A decimation transformation preceded by a mean-field renormalisation group has been used to obtain the critical properties of various d-dimensional lattices. The method improves substantially both exponents and critical couplings even for small size clusters when compared with decimation and mean-field renormalisation group methods.

MEAN-FIELD RENORMALIZATION GROUP: BIBLIOGRAPHY AND NEW APPLICATIONS USING LARGE CLUSTERS

Kathleen Croes, Joseph O. Indekeu

Renormalization group recursions based on mean-field approximations [J. O. Indekeu, A. Maritan, and A. L. Stella, J. Phys.A15, L291 (1982)], commonly referred to as mean-field renormalization group methods (MFRG), have proven to be efficient and easily applicable for computing non-classical critical properties of lattice models. We give a fairly complete bibliography of applications to date, and extend previous test calculations of bulk, surface, and corner critical exponents in the two-dimensional Ising model to larger cluster sizes on triangular, square (including crossing bonds), and honeycomb lattices. Without much effort the exact value of the critical exponent ratioyH/yT is reproduced systematically with a precision of 2%. This ratio turns out to be the most accurate probe of non-classical critical behaviour that is available in the MFRG method.

Renormalisation group approach for the two dimensional random Ising model

Gary S. Grest

The Niemeyer-van Leeuwen formulation of the renormalisation group is used to describe a quenched dilute Ising model on a triangular lattice in two dimensions. The two- and three-cluster approximations are applied to calculate the probability dependence of the critical temperature T c (p) and the critical exponents near the percolation threshold phi =1 is found to be in agreement with previous epsilon expansion results.

Kadanoff's variational renormalisation group method: the Ising model on the square and triangular lattices

B. W. Southern

The renormalisation group method of Kadanoff is applied to the spin- 1 / 2 Ising model in two dimensions using a transformation applicable to both the square and triangular lattices. Two types of cluster are studied for the triangular lattice.The first cluster yields a new fixed point but the results for the critical temperature and critical exponents are in poor agreement with the known exact values. The second cluster maps directly onto the fixed point found by Kadanoff for the square lattice yielding excellent values for both the critical exponents and the critical temperature.

Phase Transitions and Critical Phenomena: Renormalisation Group Method

Deepak Kumar

These lectures describe the physics of phase transitions and critical phenomena. After introducing the thermodynamics of phase transitions, these general considerations are made explicit by presenting statistical mechanical calculations on a lattice gas model in the mean-field approximation. Then the Landau theory of phase transitions is presented. The form of free energy in the Landau theory is motivated by an explicit mean field calculation for the Ising model. This is followed by a discussion of spatial correlations and the breakdown of the mean field theory due to increase of spatial fluctuations near the critical point. This calculation also brings out the role of dimension of the system for the critical behaviour. The basic ideas of Renormalization Group (RG) are then introduced and illustrated by a simple RG calculation for the one-dimensional Ising model. Real-space RG calculations are then applied to the two-dimensional Ising model on the triangular lattice, which, in fact, brings forth several key features of the RG technique. A discussion of more general aspects of the RG formalism, such as scaling for spatial correlation functions, relevant and irrelevant couplings, universality, upper critical dimension, etc. are introduced.

Exact decimation transformation with mean-field approximation

Kun-Fa Tang, Jia-Zhen Hu

A new method is developed for calculating the critical temperature and exponents of spin systems, based on the exact decimation transformation and a mean-field approximation. Calculations of both exponents and critical couplings are much improved, even in the lowest approximation, when compared with other renormalisation group methods.
