On the variation of the critical exponent γ with spin
J. L. Gammel, D C Power
Abstract
The rational approximation method is used to examine estimates for the first and second derivatives of the critical exponent of the Ising model with respect to a variable related to the spin on the three-dimensional body centred cubic lattice. A variation of the method of critical point renormalisation is used to eliminate bias due to uncertainty in the location of the critical point. The results support the concepts of universality of gamma with respect to the spin.
