CRITICAL POINT OF THE HONEYCOMB ANTIFERROMAGNETIC ISING MODEL IN A NONZERO MAGNETIC FIELD: FINITE-SIZE ANALYSIS

Abstract

In this paper we present highly accurate numerical results of the determination of the critical point of the antiferromagnetic Ising model in a nonzero magnetic field for the honeycomb lattice, including the critical fugacity of a nearest-neighbor exclusion lattice gas. We compute the correlation length of the Ising model using a transfer matrix approach, and locate the critical point from the data on the correlation lengths using finite-size analysis. For the purpose of a maximum numerical accuracy, the analysis is carried out by taking transfer matrices proceeding in two perpendicular directions of the lattice.

Critical Point of the Honeycomb Antiferromagnetic Ising Model in a Nonzero Magnetic Field: An Analytical Analysis

Ya-Li Song, Jin Min Yang, Gong Ru Lu

In this paper we determined the critical point of the antiferromagnetic Ising model in a nonzero magnetic field on the honeycomb lattice by an analytical method—the generalized cumulant expansion with the mean field hypothesis. By calculating the magnetization to the fourth order correction, we get encouraging results when compared with the known numerical results by finite size analysis.

Critical frontier of the antiferromagnetic Ising model in a magnetic field: The honeycomb lattice

Fa Yueh Wu, X. N. Wu, Henk W. J. Blöte

A closed-form expression is proposed for the critical frontier, or the critical line, of the antiferromagnetic Ising model on the honeycomb lattice in a nonzero external magnetic field. We formulate the Ising model as an 8-vertex model and identify the critical frontier as a locus invariant under a generalized weak-graph transformation. In its simplest form the locus is an expression containing two unknown constants which we determine numerically. The resulting critical frontier lies very close to results of a finite-size analysis.

Accurate determination of the critical line of the square Ising antiferromagnet in a field

Henk W. J. Blöte, Xue-N Wu

Several points on the critical line of the simple quadratic antiferromagnetic Ising model in a field are located with high precision. This is accomplished by means of finite-size scaling of the magnetic correlation length of n* infinity strips. The latter quantities were determined by means of the transfer matrix method for strip widths up to n=20. An expression, possibly with the exact form, is constructed which reproduces the critical line with an accuracy to the order of 10 -10 .

Calculation of The Critical Temperature for Anisotropic Two-Layer Ising Model Using The Transfer Matrix Method

Mehrdad Ghaemi, Mohammad Ghannadi, Behrouz Mirza

A new finite-size scaling approach based on the transfer matrix method is developed to calculate the critical temperature of anisotropic two-layer Ising ferromagnet, on strips of r wide sites of square lattices. The reduced internal energy per site has been accurately calculated for the ferromagnetic case, with the nearest neighbor couplings Kx, Ky (where Kx and Ky are the nearest neighbor interactions within each layer in the x and y directions, respectively) and with inter-layer coupling Kz, using different size-limited lattices. The calculated energies for different lattice sizes intersect at various points when plotted versus the reduced temperature. It is found that the location of the intersection point versus the lattice size can be fitted on a power series in terms of the lattice sizes. The power series is used to obtain the critical temperature of the unlimited two-layer lattice. The results obtained, are in good agreement with the accurate values reported by others.

Critical frontier of the triangular Ising antiferromagnet in a field

Xiaofeng Qian, M. R. Wegewijs, Henk W. J. Blöte

We study the critical line of the triangular Ising antiferromagnet in an external magnetic field by means of a finite-size analysis of results obtained by transfer-matrix and Monte Carlo techniques. We compare the shape of the critical line with predictions of two different theoretical scenarios. Both scenarios, while plausible, involve assumptions. The first scenario is based on the generalization of the model to a vertex model, and the assumption that the exact analytic form of the critical manifold of this vertex model is determined by the zeroes of an O(2) gauge-invariant polynomial in the vertex weights. However, it is not possible to fit the coefficients of such polynomials of orders up to 10, such as to reproduce the numerical data for the critical points. The second theoretical prediction is based on the assumption that a renormalization mapping exists of the Ising model on the Coulomb gas, and analysis of the resulting renormalization equations. It leads to a shape of the critical line that is inconsistent with the first prediction, but consistent with the numerical data.
