Microcanonical high-temperature expansion in the theory of ferromagnetism

E. Praveczki

Published Oct 14, 1977• 1 citation

Abstract

To avoid the difficulties with the usual type of (canonical) high-temperature series which arise when T<Tc and H=O, it is suggested that a high-temperature expansion be accomplished using the microcanonical ensembles of systems defined as involving only those states having values of the order parameter equal to the temperature-averaged one. The method is applied for the Ising and Heisenberg model utilising the molecular-field picture, and for the Heisenberg model using the spin-wave picture. In the latter case, the spin-wave energy is expanded according to the high-temperature parameter. It is shown that (m,m+1)-type Pade approximants are good at all temperatures. It is found that the longitudinal susceptibility chi L, diverges like H-1/2 at T<Tc; consequently, the critical exponent gamma ' no longer holds. A new critical exponent, gamma is defined as scaling the reduced susceptibility, chi 0=H1/2chi L. Deriving the scaling-law relating gamma with beta and delta , gamma is estimated as 0.18.

Exponents far from Tc-a reanalysis of the high-temperature susceptibility of some model systems

M. Fähnle, Jean Souletie

The authors reanalyse the Pade approximants for the susceptibility of different Ising and Heisenberg systems using the non-linear scaling variable t'=(T-T c )/T instead of t=(T-T c )/T c . The susceptibility data are well represented by the modified power law chi approximately (1/T)(t') - gamma up to high temperatures, whereas the conventional relation chi approximately t - gamma is valid only in a small temperature range. The trend of the deviations from the modified power law in terms of temperature, spin and lattice dimensionality looks quite sensible and physical. Altogether the domain where scaling ideas are useful appears to be much more extended than generally suspected.

An Application of Padé Approximants to Heisenberg Ferromagnetism and Pair-Product Model

Masuo Suzuki, Chikao Kawabata

The method of Padé approximants is applied to the high-temperature series for the susceptibility of the Heisenberg and pair-product models. It is concluded that in both cases the susceptibilities diverge as χ 0 ∝|T-T c | -γ , where γ is nearly \(\frac{4}{3}\) in three dimensions.

Exponents far from Tcfor ferromagnets with second-neighbour interactions and for the Baxter-Wu model

M. Fähnle, R. Beutler, David W. Wood

The temperature dependence of the paramagnetic zero-field susceptibility chi is calculated for the second-neighbour S=1/2 Heisenberg model and for the Baxter-Wu model, from Pade approximants to existing high-temperature series expansions and by Monte Carlo simulations. The data are well represented by a power law chi T=(t')-y using the critical susceptibility exponent gamma over the whole paramagnetic temperature range when a nonlinear scaling variable t' is used; namely t'=1-Tc/T for the second-neighbour models and t'=1-(Tc/T)2 for the Baxter-Wu model.

Notes on the delta-expansion approach to the 2D Ising susceptibility scaling

Yamada, Hirofumi

We study the scaling of the magnetic susceptibility in the square Ising model based upon the delta-expansion in the high temperature phase. The susceptibility chi is expressed in terms of the mass M and expanded in powers of 1/M. The dilation around M=0 by the delta expansion and the parametric extension of the ratio of derivatives of chi, chi^{(ell+1)}/chi^{(ell)} is used as a test function for the estimation of the critical exponent gamma with no bias from information of the critical temperature. Estimation is done with the help of the principle of minimum sensitivity and detailed analysis revealed that ell=0,1 cases provide us accurate estimation results. Critical exponent of the sub-leading scaling term is also estimated.

An application of Padé approximants to Heisenberg ferromagnetism and antiferromagnetism

J. Tinka Gammel, W. Marshall, L. Morgan

Abstract The method of successive Padé approximants is applied to the high-temperature series for the susceptibility of Heisenberg systems with nearest-neighbour interactions only. It is concluded that the susceptibility of a ferromagnet diverges near the critical temperature with a law (T —Tc)-r, where r is either exactly 4/3 or indistinguishable from 4/3 by the method used with the power series at present available. The susceptibility of an antiferromagnet is also discussed. The specific heat near the critical point is considered but the results are inconclusive.
