Monte Carlo renormalization-group studies of kinetic Ising models

Abstract

The dynamic Monte Carlo renormalization group is applied to the two-dimensional Kawasaki and three-dimensional Glauber models. Our best "matching" results for the Kawasaki model yield a value of $z=3.80$ for the dynamical exponent, as compared with the exact value $z=3.75$. This provides strong confirmation for the validity of this method. The results for the Glauber model are less accurate, but our estimate of $z\ensuremath{\simeq}2.08$ is in reasonable agreement with the $\ensuremath{\epsilon}$ expansion.

Monte Carlo renormalization-group study of the two-dimensional Glauber model

Sheldon L. Katz, J. D. Gunton, Chao Ping Liu

A recent Monte Carlo renormalization-group study of the two-dimensional kinetic Ising model is extended to obtain renormalized time correlation functions from initial lattices of 16 \ifmmode\times\else\texttimes\fi{} 16 and 32 \ifmmode\times\else\texttimes\fi{} 32 spins. Different ways to estimate the dynamical exponent $z$ are discussed, with our "best" estimate of $z\ensuremath{\simeq}2.23$ being consistent with the original study.

Monte Carlo renormalization group study of the two dimensional kinetic Ising model

John P. Bartel

The critical dynamics of the two dimensional Kinetic Ising Model have been studied using Monte Carlo Real Space Renormalization Group techniques. Time dependent correlation functions were calculated for square lattices of 16 x 16 and 32 x 32 spins, using periodic boundary conditions wth 60,000 and 15,000 Monte Carlo steps per spin, respectively;The critical exponent z was estimated using a matching process for a variety of renormalization group operators. The estimates for z were surprisingly sensitive to small changes in the value of the renormalization group operator, with physically reasonable operators giving estimates for z less than the rigorous lower bound for z of z(,o) = 1.75. The estimates for z from a given renormalization group operator showed poor convergence properties. Attempts to estimate z from the scaling form of the correlation function were inconclusive, as were attempts to estimate the static exponent (eta);Possible explanations of these unexpected results are discussed. The most plausible source of the complex behavior seen in this work is the discrete nature of time in the Monte Carlo computer simulation, which generates phenomena not present in standard theoretical treatments of the Kinetic Ising Model.

Vectorised dynamics Monte Carlo renormalisation group for the Ising model

Claus Kalle

Applying the dynamic Monte Carlo renormalisation group to the Glauber kinetic Ising model, the dynamical critical exponent z is found by simulation of up to 8192 2 and 512 3 spins on the vector computer CDC Cyber 205, using the new 'Method of 2 d colours' for the Monte Carlo part (update speed 22 megaspins/s). The two-dimensional result z=2.14-or+0.02 disagrees with Domany's hypothesis (1984). For three dimensions, a systematic trend in z with increasing blocksize leads to an extrapolated value z=1.965-or+0.010, which is consistent with a theoretically expected value 2.02.

Dynamic Monte Carlo Renormalization Group

Jan Tobochnik, Sanjoy Kumar Sarker, Robert Cordery

A novel dynamic Monte Carlo renormalization-group method is devised. Application to the kinetic Ising model in one dimension yields a value of $z$, the dynamic critical exponent, which is in excellent agreement with the exact result. In two dimensions we find $z=2.22\ifmmode\pm\else\textpm\fi{}0.13$ with the most probable value $z=2.17$.

Dynamic Monte Carlo renormalization-group method

Martin-D. Lacasse, Jorge Viñals, Martin Grant

The dynamical critical exponent of the two-dimensional spin-flip Ising model is evaluated by a Monte Carlo renormalization-group method involving a transformation in time. The results agree very well with a finite-size scaling analysis performed on the same data. The value of z=2.13\ifmmode\pm\else\textpm\fi{}0.01 is obtained, which is consistent with most recent estimates.

The bond-moving and decimation renormalization group techniques are applied to obtaining the critical dynamic exponent of the Kawasaki-Ising model on square lattice. The result is found to be , where , is the critical dynamic exponent of the Glauber model on the same lattice. We guess that the relation may be valid for all -dimensional systems with .
