Finite-size scaling studies of massive one-dimensional lattice models

Abstract

In this paper we propose an efficient routine to carry out finite size scaling studies of one-dimensional massive lattice models. Unlike massless systems, for which the lattice and continuum models yield the same results for low-lying excitations due to the infinite correlation length, the massive continuum models can at best approximate their lattice counterparts because of the intrinsic length scale $\ensuremath{\xi}\ensuremath{\sim}{\ensuremath{\Delta}}^{\ensuremath{-}1},$ where $\ensuremath{\Delta}$ is the mass gap. On examples of antiferromagnetic gapped spin-1/2 $\mathrm{XXZ}$ chains we show explicitly that several relations between physical quantities like the mass gap, spin-wave velocity $v,$ and the correlation length \ensuremath{\xi}, derived from the continuum models deviate significantly from the numerical results obtained for finite chains, when $\ensuremath{\xi}$ is comparable with the lattice spacing ${a}_{0}.$ On the other hand, we find if the dispersion for elementary excitations is modified from the ``Lorentz invariant'' form $\sqrt{{\ensuremath{\Delta}}^{2}{+v}^{2}{p}^{2}}$ to $\sqrt{{\ensuremath{\Delta}}^{2}{+v}^{2}{\mathrm{sin}}^{2}p},$ the spin-wave velocity $v$ becomes almost size independent, and the appropriately defined correlation length using that dispersion agrees very well with numerical results. In fact, this follows from the Bethe ansatz solution for the spin-1/2 $\mathrm{XXZ}$ chains. Based on our previous experience and these considerations we propose scaling equations to obtain the ground-state energy, mass gap, correlation length, spin-wave velocity, and scattering length between the massive elementary excitations. Only three low energy levels are needed in this method. Although the method is illustrated on the gapped $\mathrm{XXZ}$ quantum spins, it is applicable to all one-dimensional lattice models with massive relativistic low energy dispersions. To substantiate our statement we show explicitly that the numerical data for the Ising model in a transverse magnetic field fully agree with the finite-size scaling based on the correlation length newly defined from the exact analytic solution.

Finite lattice methods in statistical mechanics

Murray T. Batchelor

This thesis is concerned with the finite lattice study of spin models. The underlying theme in Parts I and II is the exploitation of Bethe ansatz equations to provide finite lattice data well beyond the range normally available. In Part I the Bethe ansatz equations for eigenvalues of the eight-vertex model are solved numerically to yield mass gap data on infinitely long strips of up to 512 sites in width. The finite-size corrections, at criticality, to the free energy per site and polarization gap are found to agree with recent studies of the XXZ spin chain. The leading corrections to the finite-size scaling estimates of the critical line and thermal exponent are also found, providing an explanation of the poor convergence seen in earlier studies. Away from criticality, the linear scaling fields are derived exactly in the full parameter space of the spin system, allowing a thorough test of a recently proposed method of extracting linear scaling fields and related exponents from finite lattice data. In Part II, the numerical solutions of the Bethe ansatz equations for the eigen-energies of the XXZ Hamiltonian on very large chains are used to identify, via conformal invariance, the scaling dimensions of various two-dimensional models. With periodic boundary conditions, eight-vertex and Gaussian model operators are found. The scaling dimensions of the Ashkm-Teller and Potts models are obtained by the exact relating of eigenstates of their quantum Hamiltonians to those of the XXZ chain with modified boundary conditions. Eigenstates of the Ashkin-Teller and Potts models with free boundaries are also obtained, allowing an examination of their critical surface properties. In Part HI the critical behaviour of an Ising model with competing firstand third- nearest neighbour interactions on the square lattice is investigated using the finite lattice method. In the ferromagnetic region, the phase boundary is located with an accuracy at least equal to that of alternative methods. In the antiphase region, distinctive structure in the finite lattice estimators is found over an extended temperature range. However, the nature of the transition remains unclear.

Finite lattice methods in one and two dimensional quantum spin systems

This is a study of finite lattice methods applied to quantum spin models on one and two dimensional lattices.The motivation for the use of these techniques is provided by placing them in the context of the wider field of approximation methods in the statistical mechanics of spin models.After reviewing previous finite lattice calculations on quantum spin models, the theory needed to efficiently generate and analyse finite lattice data is given.Finite lattice calculations on three quantum spin models are then presented.The first calculation provides an estimate of the transverse susceptibility of the one dimensional antiferromagnetic XY model, by extrapolation from calculations on rings of up to 10 sites.Good convergence is found for KB T ~ 0•4 and these results are compared with recent c -axis susceptibility measurements on the compound Cs 2 CoC1 4 .Chapters 5 and 6 study the quantum hamiltonian analog of the two dimensional axial next nearest neighbour Ising model, A perturbation analysis using non degenerate Rayleigh-Schrodingerperturbation theory is followed by a mass gap scaling analysis.These analyses provide accurate phase boundaries for, and ellucidate several interesting features of, the phase diagram of this model.In particular, the model is shown to exhibit a phase whose modulation varies continuously with a change in the interaction parameters in the hamiltonian.This "modulated" phase region lies between a normal ordered phase and a paramagnetic phase.Evid~nce is given that the transition from the paramagnetic to modulated phase is exponential in nature.The third model studied is a spin 1 biquadratic Heisenberg model with hamiltonian,<ij> (Jl s .. s. +J2(~ . .~.)2). 1 J 1 J Accurate estimates of the ground state energy in both one and two dimensions are found by calculating this quantity on 4,6,8 and 10 site lattices.Comment is made about the ground state phase diagram, and about the existence of intermediate spin states and states with a complicated magnetic ordering.The thesis concludes by commenting on the performance of finite lattice methods in the three models studied and by outlining certain directions for future advance., ACKNOWLEVGEMENTS I would like to express

Ising-model Monte Carlo simulations: Density of states and mass gap

Nelson A. Alves, Bernd A. Berg, Ramon Villanova

We have performed Monte Carlo simulations for the three-dimensional Ising model. Using histogram techniques, we calculate the density of states on ${L}^{3}$ block lattices up to size L=14. Statistical jackknife methods are employed to perform a thorough error analysis. We obtain high-precision estimates for the leading zeros of the partition function, which, using finite-size scaling, translate into \ensuremath{\nu}=0.6285\ifmmode\pm\else\textpm\fi{}0.0019. Along a different line of approach following recent work in lattice-gauge theories, we accurately determine the mass gap m=1/\ensuremath{\xi} (\ensuremath{\xi} correlation length) for cylindrical ${L}^{2}$${L}_{z}$ lattices (with ${L}_{z}$=256 and L up to 12). The finite-size-scaling analysis of the mass-gap data leads to \ensuremath{\nu}=0.6321\ifmmode\pm\else\textpm\fi{}0.0019.

Correlation length of the biquadratic spin-1 chain

Erik Schwartz Sørensen, A. P. Young

We calculate the ground-state energy and correlation length of the spin-1 antiferromagnetic biquadratic chain, as well as the excitation energy of the two lowest-lying states. We use the equivalence of this model to the spin-1/2 XXZ chain for a specific anisotropy parameter. The XXZ model is solvable by the Bethe ansatz. We solve the Bethe ansatz equations numerically and obtain the correlation length from the ground-state energy of finite chains by use of a finite-size scaling ansatz. We find a surprisingly large correlation length. We also perform quantum Monte Carlo simulations which show clearly that the biquadratic chain dimerizes.

Unlike massless systems, for which the lattice and continuum models yield the same results for low-lying excitations due to the infinite correlation length, the massive continuum models can at best approximate their lattice counterparts because of the intrinsic length scale \ensuremathξ\ensuremath∼\ensuremathΔ\ensuremath−1,\ensuremath{\xi}\ensuremath{\sim}{\ensuremath{\Delta}}^{\ensuremath{-}1},\ensuremathξ\ensuremath∼\ensuremathΔ\ensuremath−1, where \ensuremathΔ\ensuremath{\Delta}\ensuremathΔ is the mass gap. On examples of antiferromagnetic gapped spin-1/2 XXZ\mathrm{XXZ}XXZ chains we show explicitly that several relations between physical quantities like the mass gap, spin-wave velocity v,v,v, and the correlation length \ensuremath{\xi}, derived from the continuum models deviate significantly from the numerical results obtained for finite chains, when \ensuremathξ\ensuremath{\xi}\ensuremathξ is comparable with the lattice spacing a0.{a}_{0}.a0​. On the other hand, we find if the dispersion for elementary excitations is modified from the ``Lorentz invariant'' form \ensuremathΔ2+v2p2\sqrt{{\ensuremath{\Delta}}^{2}{+v}^{2}{p}^{2}}\ensuremathΔ2+v2p2​ to \ensuremathΔ2+v2sin2p,\sqrt{{\ensuremath{\Delta}}^{2}{+v}^{2}{\mathrm{sin}}^{2}p},\ensuremathΔ2+v2sin2p​, the spin-wave velocity vvv becomes almost size independent, and the appropriately defined correlation length using that dispersion agrees very well with numerical results.
