Series expansions for the zero-temperature transverse Ising model

L.G. Marland

Publisher

Abstract

Series expansions are presented for the magnetisation, susceptibility, magnetic field derivatives of the susceptibility and 'specific heat' of the zero-temperature transverse Ising model. Coefficients in these series have been calculated to tenth order in lambda 2 (where lambda is the transverse field) for the linear chain, to eighth order for the square lattice and to seventh order for the triangular lattice. These series yield estimates of the low-temperature critical exponents alpha ', beta ', gamma ' and Delta ' of the two- and three-dimensional Ising models. They provide good evidence for the symmetry of exponents above and below the critical point, e.g. gamma '= gamma .

Critical behaviour of the Ising model above and below the critical temperature

J W Essam, D L Hunter

Previous series expansion studies of the magnetization and susceptibility of the Ising model are extended to the higher derivatives of the free energy with respect to the magnetic field. It is found that just above the critical temperature the 2 n th derivative is given by where in two dimensions γ = 1¾, Δ = 1fraction seven-eighths and in three dimensions γ = 1¼, Δ = 1fraction nine-sixteens. In two dimensions γ is exact and Δ is correct to 0.6%; the three-dimensional indices are correct to 0.2%. Just below the critical temperature where in three dimensions 0.303 <or= β <or= 0.318 and 1·55 <or= Δprime <or= 1.65. If the even derivatives are to have the same index above and below T c , then β = fraction five-sixteens and Δprime = 1fraction nine-sixteens. The latter index lies very close to the lower limit so that, although we cannot rule out Δprime = Δ, Δprime = 1fraction five-eighths is not unlikely. In two dimensions our results are consistent with linearity of the index and, if this is assumed, then β = fraction one-eighths and Δprime = 1fraction seven-eighths exactly and there is symmetry about T c . The amplitudes C 2 n + and C n - are estimated for n = 1 to 6.

The Ising model with a transverse field. I. High temperature expansion

Roger James Elliott, C Wood

The Ising model (exchange constant J) with a transverse field Gamma can be regarded as a simple model of hydrogen bonded ferroelectrics and of certain magnetic systems. The transition temperature T C decreases as Gamma increases and falls to zero at a critical field Gamma C . This transition is studied in the quadratic and simple cubic lattices with nearest neighbour interactions by a power series expansion of the susceptibility at high T up to fifth order in (J/kT) to all orders in ( Gamma /kT). The coefficients are calculated by diagram counting and time ordering perturbation methods. The critical Gamma against T curve is derived and the critical exponent gamma of the susceptibility. This appears to vary smoothly with Gamma but it is argued that this is an artifact due to the use of a short series and that the critical exponents are probably independent of Gamma as long as T C remains finite but change discontinuity at T C =0.

Low temperature critical behaviour of the Ising model with spin S>1/2

P F Fox, Anthony John Guttmann

Low temperature series expansions for the Ising model with spin S=1 and S= 3 / 2 are derived for a number of two and three dimensional lattices. For each spin-lattice combination the critical point is estimated, and then the critical exponents beta and gamma ' with their corresponding critical amplitudes are also estimated. The principal conclusion is that there is no compelling evidence to suggest that the above critical exponents differ from their S= 1 / 2 values.

Determination of critical behaviour from series expansions in lattice statistics. IV

Anthony John Guttmann, Colin J. Thompson, Barry William Ninham

For pt. III, see abstr. A21890 of 1970. A new low-temperature expansion variable for the Ising model is given. Expansions in the new variable, x=1-tanh(J/kT), then converge right up to the critical point. Power series in the new variable are derived, and then analysed by the Pade method and the method of N-point fits. For the spontaneous magnetization of the Ising model in three dimensions. beta =0.312+or-0.002 for the simple cubic lattice, beta =0.3125+or-0.0015 for the body-centred cubic lattice, and beta =0.312+or-0.004 for the face-centred cubic lattice. For the low-temperature susceptibility gamma =1.30+or-0.02, gamma =1.28+or-0.04, and gamma '=1.29+or-0.04 for the simple cubic, body-centred cubic and face-centred cubic lattices respectively. For the low-temperature specific heat the authors estimate 1 / 16 <or= alpha =0.2 for all three lattices.

The spin model. III. Analysis of high temperature series expansions of some thermodynamic quantities in two dimensions

Jos Rogiers, Ernst W. Grundke, Donald D. Betts

In this paper we report analyses of high temperature series expansions for the spin [Formula: see text] XY model on the triangular and square lattices. Quantities for which series are analyzed include the fluctuation in the transverse magnetization, fourth order fluctuations in the same quantity, second and fourth moments of the transverse spin–spin correlations, specific heat, and entropy. The evidence favours a phase transition at a finite temperature with conventional power law critical singularities. Scaling seems to hold but hyperscaling seems to be violated. Estimates for critical exponents include γ = 2.50 ± 0.3. Δ = 2.38 ± 0.2, and ν = 143 ± 0.10. The specific heat exhibits no singular behaviour at Tc.

Critical Behaviour of the Susceptibility of the Ising Model with a Transverse Field

Akira Yanase, Yukito Takeshige, Masaaki Suzuki

The critical behaviour of the susceptibility of the Ising model with a transverse field is investigated by means of the perturbation expansions. Exact expressions for the coefficients up to seventh order in J / k T are given as functions of Δ/ k T for the quadratic, triangular, simple cubic, b.c.c. and f.c.c. lattices. The universality of the critical index is concluded from the analysis of the coefficients and the critical temperature is obtained as function of the transverse field for the five kinds of lattices.
