Abstract

Critical exponents of an eight-vertex model, the modified F model, are obtained. The results beta = 1 / 4 , gamma = gamma '= 3 / 2 , eta = 1 / 2 , nu = nu '=1 together with the established indices alpha = alpha '=0 obey the scaling relations.

Critical Exponents and Scaling Relations in 1/nExpansion

Ryuzo Abe, S. Hikami

The critical exponents ν, η and α are derived in powers of 1/n to first order for the n-vector model (or n-component system) with short-range interactions. Scaling relations χ(q)∼ε-γf(q/εν), dν=d-α and γ=ν(2-η) are confirmed up to the order of 1/n.

A PHASE TRANSITION MODEL NOT IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE SCALING LAW

SUN XIN, 复旦大学物理系

For a three-dimensional eight-vertex model with energy parameters satisfying the condition ε1+ε2=ε3+ε4, all the critical exponents have been calculated:α=α′=0,β=1/4,δ=7,γ=1/2,γ′=3/2,ν=ν′=1,η=3/2. These do not satisfy the scaling law, the reason is that the correlative region of polarization contracts from the crystal planes (1, 1, 1) and (1, 1, 1) to the crystal axis [1, 0, 1] at the critical point.

Critical Exponents and Scaling Relations in 1/nExpansion. II

S. Hikami

The critical exponents δ and Δ are derived in powers of 1/n to first order for the n-vector model with short range interactions. Scaling relations α=2+γ-Δ, δ=(d+2-η)/(d-2+η) and δ=Δ/(Δ-2γ) are confirmed exactly up to order 1/n. By considering successive derivatives of magnetization with respect to external field and temperature, the equations of state above the critical point M=∑∞m=0cmε-γ-(m-1)ΔH2m-1 and M=∑∞m=0amH1-2(γ+m)/δεm are confirmed up to order 1/n.

The critical exponents of Ising model systems with pure three-body interactions. III

David W. Wood, H P Griffiths

For pt. II, see abstr. A64455 of 1973. The critical-point exponents of two Ising models with pure three-spin coupling terms are examined using low-temperature (T<T c ) series expansions for the thermodynamic functions. In particular the critical isotherm exponent delta is examined by applying numerical extrapolation methods to the critical isotherm. The two models are (a) a two-dimensional triangular lattice and (b) a three-dimensional face-centred cubic lattice. Direct numerical estimates of alpha ', beta and delta for (b) show that the scaling relations hold for this model and it is found that alpha '=0.655, beta =0.0538, gamma =1.24, nu =0.448, eta =-0.76, and delta =24 on the basis of the scaling relations. The numerical accuracy of the exponents beta and delta for model (a) does not permit an independent verification of the scaling relations; assuming scaling to hold here also, and using the exact result alpha '= 2 / 3 obtained by Baxter and Wu, it is found that gamma '=1.187+or-0.006, nu = 2 / 3 , eta =0.219+or-0.009, beta =0.073+or-0.003, and delta =17.3+or-0.8.

Critical behaviour of the three-dimensional XY universality class

Campostrini M, Hasenbusch M, Pelissetto A +2 more

We improve the theoretical estimates of the critical exponents for the three-dimensional XY universality class. We fine alpha=-0.0146(8), gamma =1.3177(5), nu =0.671 55(27), eta =0.0380(4), beta =0.3485(2), and delta =4.780(2). We observe a discrepancy with the most recent experimental estimate of alpha; this discrepancy calls for further theoretical and experimental investigations. Our results are obtained by combining Monte Carlo simulations based on finite-size scaling methods, and high-temperature expansions. Two improved models (with suppressed leading scaling corrections) are selected by Monte Carlo computation. The critical exponents are computed from high-temperature expansions specialized to these improved models. By the same technique we determine the coefficients of the small-magnetization expansion of the equation of state. This expansion is extended analytically by means of approximate parametric representations, obtaining the equation of state in the whole critical region. We also determine the specific-heat amplitude ratio.

Finite size studies of the Ashkin-Teller model

Francisco Castilho Alcaraz, J. R. Drugowich de Felício

The authors study the Ashkin-Teller model in the time-continuous Hamiltonian version. Finite-size scaling is used to calculate the magnetic ( gamma M ), electric ( gamma P ) and thermal ( alpha and nu ) critical exponents for several values of the coupling constant ( lambda ). The results confirm the believed extended scaling relations and suggest a conjecture relating the mass-gap amplitudes and critical indices in the Hamiltonian context.
