An Analytical Study of Three-State Potts Model on Lattice

Zhao Peiying, Wu Ji-Min

Published May 1, 2006• 0 citations

Abstract

We investigate the phase structure of the three-state Potts model by the variational cumulant expansion approach. It is shown that there is a weak first-order phase transition in three and four dimensions. The critical coupling given by this method is in good agreement with MC data.

The Phase Transition in the Three-State Potts Model: An Analytical Analysis

Ya-Li Song, Jin Min Yang, Gong Ru Lu

We investigate the phase transition of the three-state Potts model in an analytical approach—the generalized cumulant expansion with the effective mean field hypothesis. We find a first order phase transition in the three-dimensional three-state Potts model with ferromagnetic nearest neighbor coupling. For the model with antiferromagnetic next-to-nearest neighbor coupling, we find a first order transition when the relative strength of the -coupling is fixed to . The critical values given by this method are also in agreement with the recent high statistics Monte Carlo results.

An Analytical Study of the d -Dimensional q -State Potts Models on Lattice

Pei Ying Zhao, J. M. Nkj

We investigate the phase structure of the d -dimensional q -state Potts models on lattice by the variational cumulant expansion (VCE) approach, we calculate the internal energy and specific heat for this model. Specially, we give the results for 2-dimensional q = 4,5,6 states Potts models. A comparison with Monte Carlo (MC) data is also presented. Our formalism can give the results for Potts models in any dimensionality d and any states q straightforwardly.

Variational Cumulant Expansion for Spin Systems on a Triangular Lattice

Jin Min Yang

The variational cumulant expansion is extended to two-dimensional Potts spin models with two-body interactions defined on a triangular lattice. As a test, the and Potts models are treated. The phase transition points given by this approach are in good agreement with the exact values.

q -state Potts model in general dimension

Bernard Nienhuis, Eberhard K. Riedel, Michael Schick C

Critical properties of the $q$-state Potts and Potts-lattice-gas models are calculated by means of the Kadanoff variational renormalization group for dimensions 1.58, 2, and 2.32, and the Migdal approximation for arbitrary dimensions. Accurate results for the critical and tricritical exponents are obtained as well as for ${q}_{c}$, the largest value of $q$ for which the Potts transition is continuous. It is concluded unambiguously that the three-state Potts model in three dimensions undergoes a first-order phase transition.

Phase Transitions in the Weakly Diluted 4-State Potts Model on a Triangular Lattice

Albert Babaevich Babaev, Akai Kurbanovich Murtazaev

Abstract We report a numerical study of the weakly diluted 4-state Potts model on a triangular lattice using Monte Carlo method. We consider systems with linear dimensions L × L = N, L = 10–160. Phase transitions in the Potts model are investigated employing the fourth-order Binder cumulants method and the histogram data analysis. Second-order phase transitions which are close to weakly first-order transitions are shown to occur in the 4-state Potts model on a triangular lattice. The addition of a nonmagnetic disorder has a stabilizing role in the realization of second-order phase transitions.

Accurate results for the critical and tricritical exponents are obtained as well as for qc{q}_{c}qc​, the largest value of qqq for which the Potts transition is continuous.
