Numerical evidence for two critical points in a triplet Ising model

David W. Wood, N E Pegg

Published Apr 1, 1977• 1 citation
Publisher

Abstract

It is shown that numerical data recently used to evaluate the residual entropy of Kagome ice can be adapted to form an expansion for the zero field free energy of a three-spin Ising model on a triangulated dice lattice. The expansion is used to test a recent conjecture of Wu (see J. Phys. C: Solid St. Phys. vol.7, p.181) that this model should exhibit two phase transitions.

Two phase transitions in triplet Ising models

Fa Yueh Wu

It is shown that the three-spin Ising model on a triangulated dice lattice is equivalent to an Ashkin-Teller model. It is concluded from the expected critical behaviour of the Ashkin-Teller model that the triplet model exhibits two phase transitions. Generalization of the consideration to other lattices and a suggestion on the possible order parameters associated with the transitions are given.

Ising model susceptibility amplitudes. I. Two-dimensional lattices

Anthony John Guttmann

By combining all available information it is possible to extend the numerical knowledge of the high- and low-temperature zero-field isothermal susceptibility of the Ising model. Estimates of the third most singular term of the ferromagnetic singularity are obtained, using both direct estimates and an extension of the Generalized Law of Corresponding States. A recent conjecture of Barouch, McCoy and Wu (1973) concerning the equality of the constant term in the asymptotic expansion of the high- and low-temperature ferromagnetic susceptibility is confirmed numerically. Finally, a non-physical critical exponent of the low-temperature susceptibility of the triangular lattice is identified.

Free energy in a magnetic field and the universal scaling equation of state for the three-dimensional Ising model

P. Butera, M. Pernici

We have substantially extended the high-temperature and low-magnetic-field (and the related low-temperature and high-magnetic-field) bivariate expansions of the free energy for the conventional three-dimensional Ising model and for a variety of other spin systems generally assumed to belong to the same critical universality class. In particular, we have also derived the analogous expansions for the Ising models with spin $s=1,3/2,\dots{}$ and for the lattice Euclidean scalar-field theory with quartic self-interaction, on the simple-cubic and the body-centered-cubic lattices. Our bivariate high-temperature expansions, which extend through 24th order, enable us to compute, through the same order, all higher derivatives of the free energy with respect to the field, namely, all higher susceptibilities. These data make more accurate checks possible, in critical conditions, both of the scaling and the universality properties with respect to the lattice and the interaction structure and also help to improve an approximate parametric representation of the critical equation of state for the three-dimensional Ising model universality class.

Low-temperature expansions for the Ising model with pure triplet interactions on the triangular lattice

M F Sykes, M G Watts, J. L. Martin

Recently published series expansions of Griffiths and Wood (1973) for the Ising model with pure triplet interactions on the triangular lattice are found to be inconsistent with the exact solution of Baxter and Wu (1973). The necessary corrections are given.

New method for the Ising model phase diagram

S. M. Girvin

An alternative formulation of the cumulant expansion method of Frank and Mitran (see ibid., vol.10, p.2641 (1977) and Solid State Commun., vol.24, p.343 (1977)) is developed for the self-consistent calculation of the two-spin correlation function of the three-dimensional Ising model. The present technique is much simpler and more accurate since the cumulant series is summed exactly and certain other approximations made by Frank and Mitran are avoided. In addition to obtaining critical temperatures for the zero-field ferromagnet which are within 1% of the exact values, the entire phase boundary of the antiferromagnet in an external field is accurately given by the present method. Approximate critical exponents are also obtained. The present method requires considerably less numerical effort than real space renormalisation group methods and gives better results.

The critical exponents of Ising model systems with pure three-body interactions. III

David W. Wood, H P Griffiths

For pt. II, see abstr. A64455 of 1973. The critical-point exponents of two Ising models with pure three-spin coupling terms are examined using low-temperature (T<T c ) series expansions for the thermodynamic functions. In particular the critical isotherm exponent delta is examined by applying numerical extrapolation methods to the critical isotherm. The two models are (a) a two-dimensional triangular lattice and (b) a three-dimensional face-centred cubic lattice. Direct numerical estimates of alpha ', beta and delta for (b) show that the scaling relations hold for this model and it is found that alpha '=0.655, beta =0.0538, gamma =1.24, nu =0.448, eta =-0.76, and delta =24 on the basis of the scaling relations. The numerical accuracy of the exponents beta and delta for model (a) does not permit an independent verification of the scaling relations; assuming scaling to hold here also, and using the exact result alpha '= 2 / 3 obtained by Baxter and Wu, it is found that gamma '=1.187+or-0.006, nu = 2 / 3 , eta =0.219+or-0.009, beta =0.073+or-0.003, and delta =17.3+or-0.8.
