Non-universality in the Ising model with nearest and next-nearest neighbour interactions

Abstract

The critical behaviour of the Ising model on the square lattice with ferromagnetic nearest-neighbour interactions (J) and anti-ferromagnetic next-nearest neighbour interactions (J') is discussed for small lambda =J/ mod J' mod . The singular part of the free energy is calculated to second order in lambda by perturbation theory. Near the critical temperature of the unperturbed system (J=0), this expansion is found to have a form which may be exponentiated yielding, for non-zero lambda , a non-universal critical line along which the exponents vary continuously with lambda . For small lambda , the specific heat exponent, alpha = alpha 1 lambda 2 +O( lambda 2 ) with alpha 1 approximately=1.5.

The square-lattice Ising model with first and second neighbour interactions

J. Oitmaa

The critical behaviour of the square-lattice Ising model, with nearest and next-nearest neighbour interactions of either sign, has been investigated by means of high-temperature series. lhe location of the critical lines in the coupling constant plane has been accurately determined. Along the critical line which corresponds to transitions to the layered or superantiferromagnetic state a breakdown of universality is observed and explicit numerical estimates obtained for the exponent of the ordering susceptibility.

On Ising models

Hoede, C., Zandvliet, Henricus J.W.

For various Ising models two approaches are discussed, one is that of simulating lattices, also called gauging on exact equations, the other is that of calculating analytical expressions for the boundary free energy of Ising lattices. The first approach allows to conjecture a solution for some Ising models, that have sofar not been solved, once some exact partial result for the problem is known. The second approach aims at furnishing such a partial result in the form of a condition for the critical temperature. An example of such a result was recently given for the 2D Ising square lattice with nearest and next-nearest-neighbor interactions. The critical line that separates the ordered (ferromagnetic) phase from the disordered (paramagnetic) phase showed good agreement in the moderate and strong nearest neighbor coupling limit with several results obtained by Monte Carlo, transfer matrix and series expansion results. We extend the discussion of the critical line, finding an excellent fit, now also in other points, like the Padé point, as well as cusp behavior at the Onsager point where the lattice decouples into two 2D square lattices with only nearest-neighbor interaction. Combination of this result with a geometrical argument in the simulation approach leads to a critical exponent $2-\sqrt{2} \approx 0.5858,$ comparable to the exponent $4/7 \approx 0.5714$ found from renormalization arguments.

Low-temperature series for the square lattice Ising model with first- and second-neighbour interactions

J. Oitmaa, Michael J. Velgakis

The authors have derived a low-temperature expansion appropriate to the 'superantiferromagnetic' or (2*1) ordered phase of the Ising model with first- and second-neighbour interactions on a square lattice. The critical exponent beta shows a non-universal variation along the critical line, which is in reasonable agreement with the variation expected on the basis of scaling.

Critical properties of an antiferromagnetic Ising model on a square lattice with interactions of the next-to-nearest neighbors

Akai Kurbanovich Murtazaev, Рамазанов Магомедшейх Курбанович, М. К. Бадиев

The critical properties of an antiferromagnetic Ising model on a square lattice with interactions of the next-to-nearest neighbors are investigated by a replica Monte-Carlo method. Using the finite-size scaling theory the static critical exponents of specific heat, ordering parameter, susceptibility, correlation radius as well as the Fisher exponent are calculated. An analysis of data is performed both with and without taking into account a correction to the finite-size scaling. It was found that in the model under consideration the second order phase transition is observed. It is shown that this model belongs to the new class of universality of critical behavior.

Ising Antiferromagnet with Nearest-Neighbor and Next-Nearest-Neighbor Interactions on a Square Lattice

Akai Kurbanovich Murtazaev, Рамазанов Магомедшейх Курбанович, М. К. Бадиев

The critical properties of two-dimensional antiferromagnetic Ising model in square lattice are investigated using the replica Monte-Carlo method with account of interactions of second nearest neighbors. The diagram of critical temperature dependence on an interaction value of second nearest neighbors is plotted. Static critical exponents of the heat capacity α, susceptibility γ, magnetization β, and correlation radius ν are calculated for this model using the finite-size scaling theory.

LOW-TEMPERATURE SERIES EXPANSIONS FOR SQUARE-LATTICE ISING MODEL WITH FIRST AND SECOND NEIGHBOUR INTERACTIONS

Yee-Mou Kao, MALL CHEN, Keh Ying Lin

We have calculated the low-temperature series expansions of the spontaneous magnetization and the zero-field susceptibility of the square-lattice ferromagnetic Ising model with first-neighbour interaction J1 and second-neighbour interaction J2 to the 30th and 26th order respectively by computer. Our results extend the previous calculations by Lee and Lin to six more orders. We use the Padé approximants to estimate the critical exponents and the critical temperature for different ratios of R = J2/J1. The estimated critical temperature as a function of R agrees with the estimation by Oitmaa from high-temperature series expansions.
