Published Nov 1, 1982• 62 citations

Abstract

A method, akin to phenomenological renormalisation, for analysing Monte Carlo data in the critical region is proposed. The method is illustrated by an analysis of the structure factor of the two-dimensional axial next-nearest neighbour Ising model.

Critical behaviour of the two-dimensional biaxial next-nearest-neighbour Ising model. A Monte Carlo study

Michael J. Velgakis, J. Oitmaa

The critical behaviour of an Ising model with competing interactions along both axes of a square lattice (the BNNNI model) is investigated by Monte Carlo methods. Convincing evidence for the existence of modulated structures near the transition(s) is obtained but the form of the phase diagram remains unclear.

3D Ising Nonuniversality: a Monte Carlo study

Melanie Schulte, Caroline Drope

We investigate as a member of the Ising universality class the Next-Nearest Neighbour Ising model without external field on a simple cubic lattice by using the Monte Carlo Metropolis Algorithm. The Binder cumulant and the susceptibility ratio, which should be universal quantities at the critical point, were shown to vary for small negative next-nearest neighbour interactions.

Phenomenological renormalisation of Monte Carlo data for percolation

Muhammad Sahimi

The accuracy of a phenomenological renormalisation which is based on Monte Carlo data is tested by investigating site percolation in a simple cubic lattice. The method appears to be very accurate and can yield precise estimates of the quantities of interest with small to moderate lattice sizes. The site percolation threshold of the lattice is predicted to be 0.3115+or-0.0005. If nu is the exponent of correlation length, the author finds beta / nu approximately=0.48+or-0.01 for the exponent of percolation probability and beta B / nu approximately=1.1+or-0.03 for the backbone exponent, in agreement with most accurate data currently available. An analysis of the data at the percolation threshold based on the standard finite-size scaling method also supports the results.

Critical phenomena in the Random Ising Model.

Albert Brown

The modern techniques of field theory applied to critical phenomena, are briefly discussed, with particular emphasis on the use of the e-expansion to extract the asymptotic behaviour in the critical region. The dimensional regularisation and minimal subtraction method of renormalisation, Introduced by 't Hooft and Veltman, is outlined. These methods, along with a Monte Carlo simulation on a highly parallel computer, are utilised in extracting information pertaining to the behaviour near criticality of the random, site-diluted Ising model. The universal ratio of the susceptibility amplitude above and below the critical temperature is determined to one higher order than previously in an ɛ-expansion, within the framework of the replica formalism. The calculation is performed using a Taylor expansion, in the number of replicas, of the transverse propagator appearing In the Hamiltonian, about the longitudinal. This higher order correction goes in the right direction for agreement with experiment. An extension of the formalism to embrace the presence of two sets of replica spins is used to derive the o(ɛ¹/²) term in an expansion of the additional static - correlation function, C⁽ˢ⁾(q), arising from the non-interchangeability of the thermal and configurational averages In the random model. The appearance of C(sl(q) in the structure factor Implies that results of neutron scattering experiments to measure the susceptibility amplitude ratio must be re-Interpreted. Finally, analysis of the properties of block spin variables In a Monte Carlo simulation Is used to determine the phase diagram and critical exponents In two-dimensions. Possible Interpretations of the observed evolution of the exponent ratio, ß/υ, under Increasing dilution are discussed.
