A new approach to the quenched bond-diluted Ising model

Abstract

The techniques developed by Edwards and Anderson (1975) for the spin-glass problem are here applied to the bond-diluted quenched Ising model (S= 1 / 2 ). The n to 0 trick is used to express exactly the free energy in terms of a generalized Hamiltonian representing n different but coupled replicas. The only approximation of the theory consists of decoupling these replicas in a way that reduces the free energy of the diluted system to that of a pure system with renormalized, concentration-dependent parameters. To first order in the concentration of missing bonds the author obtains all the results previously derived by Harris (1974) using a cumulant expansion and which are exact in this limit. More generally, the theory allows a discussion of the concentration dependence of the critical temperature; in particular, the values deduced for the critical concentration agree rather well with those obtained exactly or through series expansions. The behaviour of the system near the transition is also studied and the critical exponents are found to be Fisher-renormalized.

Exact Decimation Approach with Mean-Field Approximation for Randomly Diluted Ising Models

TANG KUN-FA, HU JIA-ZHEN

A new renormalization approach developed by authors previously is generalized to disordered systems. Calculations of the critical temperature, concentration, exponents, and of limiting slope of critical curve for the random bond-diluted Ising model on the square lattice, even in the lowest approximation, are in very satisfactory agreement with all known exact or series results.

Renormalisation group calculations for two dimensional disordered Ising models

Michael Plischke, D. Zobin

The Niemeijer-van Leeuwen formulation of the renormalisation group has been used to discuss the quenched dilute Ising model and the Ising spin-glass in two dimensions. The authors chose a five-spin cell which, in the pure case, treats the Ising antiferromagnet equally as well as the ferromagnet. This choice of cell leads to the existence of a spin-glass ground state which was found to be stable for the whole composition range. The spin-glass transition was found to be sharp and the corresponding critical exponents were calculated. For the dilute Ising model the behaviour of the reduced critical temperature T c (p)/T c (1), the percolation concentration and the correlation length exponent were found to be in good agreement with the exact results and series calculations.

Concentration Expansion for Random Ising Systems

Tsuguhiro Tamaribuchi, F. Takano

Two-dimensional Ising systems with bond-impurities are treated exactly by using the method of Gibberd and Hurst. First we derive recurrence equations by which a Green's function with n scattering centers can be obtained from that with n-1 scattering centers. Using these recurrence equations, we are able to expand the free energy systematically in power series of concentration c of impure bonds. This concentration expansion is carried out up to the order of c2 for quenched and annealed systems, and we discuss critical properties of the quenched system comparing with those of the annealed system. The difference between the two systems is seen to arise first in the term of the order c2, but the singularities in these terms are almost the same for both systems. This result leads to an conjecture that critical properties of a quenched system are the same as those of an annealed system in the critical region. The shift of the critical temperature in the quenched system is also calculated up to the order of c2 in the bond-dilution case (the strength of the impurity bonds is zero).

High-temperature series for the bond-diluted Ising model in 3, 4, and 5 dimensions

Meik Hellmund, Wolfhard Janke E

In order to study the influence of quenched disorder on second-order phase transitions, high-temperature series expansions of the susceptibility and the free energy are obtained for the quenched bond-diluted Ising model in $d=3--5$ dimensions. They are analyzed using different extrapolation methods tailored to the expected singularity behaviors. In $d=4$ and 5 dimensions we confirm that the critical behavior is governed by the pure fixed point up to dilutions near the geometric bond percolation threshold. The existence and form of logarithmic corrections for the pure Ising model in $d=4$ are confirmed, and our results for the critical behavior of the diluted system are in agreement with the type of singularity predicted by renormalization group considerations. In three dimensions we find large crossover effects between the pure Ising, percolation, and random fixed points. We estimate the critical exponent of the susceptibility to be $\ensuremath{\gamma}=1.305(5)$ at the random fixed point.

Effect of thermal bond excitations on the critical properties of covalent Ising networks

Saeid Davatolhagh, Leila Separdar, M. Barati

We introduce a bond-diluted Ising model with temperature-dependent concentration of bonds, which is intended to simulate the excitations of bond degrees of freedom as in covalently bonded network liquids arising from the thermal electronic transitions between bonding and antibonding electronic states. The critical behavior of this simplified model system, called the thermalized-bond Ising model, is investigated in terms of the Monte Carlo simulation results of finite-size regular Ising systems, as input for the method of chemical potentials that is generally used to obtain the thermodynamic properties of annealed impurity models. A finite-size scaling analysis of the susceptibility and the fourth-order cumulant results in a reliable estimation of the renormalized critical exponents. The exponents are found to be consistent with the phenomenological renormalization relations, due to Fisher, despite the temperature-dependent bond dilution.

Bond dilution in the 3D Ising model: a Monte Carlo study

Pierre-Emmanuel Berche, Christophe Chatelain, Wolfhard Janke

We study by Monte Carlo simulations the influence of bond dilution on the three-dimensional Ising model. This paradigmatic model in its pure version displays a second-order phase transition with a positive specific heat critical exponent $\alpha$ . According to the Harris criterion disorder should hence lead to a new fixed point characterized by new critical exponents. We have determined the phase diagram of the diluted model, starting from the pure model limit down to the neighbourhood of the percolation threshold. For the estimation of critical exponents, we have first performed a finite-size scaling study, where we concentrated on three different dilutions to check the stability of the disorder fixed point. We emphasize in this work the great influence of the cross-over phenomena between the pure, disorder and percolation fixed points which lead to effective critical exponents dependent on the concentration. In a second set of simulations, the temperature behaviour of physical quantities has been studied in order to characterize the disorder fixed point more accurately. In particular this allowed us to estimate ratios of some critical amplitudes. In accord with previous observations for other models this provides stronger evidence for the existence of the disorder fixed point since the amplitude ratios are more sensitive to the universality class than the critical exponents. Moreover, the question of non-self-averaging at the disorder fixed point is investigated and compared with recent results for the bond-diluted q = 4 Potts model. Overall our numerical results provide evidence that, as expected on theoretical grounds, the critical behaviour of the bond-diluted model is indeed governed by the same universality class as the site-diluted model.
