Finite size scaling study of dynamical phase transitions in two dimensional models : Ferromagnet, symmetric and non symmetric spin glasses

Abstract

We study the time evolution of two configurations submitted to the same thermal noise for several two dimensional models (Ising ferromagnet, symmetric spin glass, non symmetric spin glass). For all these models, we find a non zero critical temperature above which the two configurations always meet. Using finite size scaling ideas, we determine for these three models this dynamical phase transition and some of the critical exponents. For the ferromagnet, the transition Tc ≃ 2.25 coincides with the Curie temperature whereas for the two spin glass models ( ± J distribution of bonds) we obtain Tc ≃ 1.5-1.7.

Finite-size scaling analysis of exact ground states for ± J spin glass models in two dimensions

Naoki Kawashima, Heiko Rieger

With the help of exact ground states obtained by a polynomial algorithm we compute the domain wall energy Δ at zero temperature for the bond-random and the site-random Ising spin glass model in two dimensions. We find that in both models the stability of the ferromagnetic and the spin glass order ceases to exist at a unique concentration p c for the ferromagnetic bonds. In the vicinity of this critical point, the size and concentration dependence of the first and second moment of the domain wall energy are, for both models, described by a common finite-size scaling form. Moreover, below this concentration the stiffness exponent turns out to be slightly negative, θ S = − 0.056(6), indicating the absence of any intermediate spin glass phase at non-zero temperature.

Critical scaling of the mutual information in two-dimensional disordered Ising models

Sriluckshmy, P., Mandal, I.

Renyi mutual information, computed from second Renyi entropies, can identify classical phase transitions from their finite-size scaling at critical points. We apply this technique to examine the presence or absence of finite temperature phase transitions in various two-dimensional models on a square lattice, which are extensions of the conventional Ising model by adding a quenched disorder. When the quenched disorder causes the nearest neighbor bonds to be both ferromagnetic and antiferromagnetic, (a) a spin glass phase exists only at zero temperature, and (b) a ferromagnetic phase exists at a finite temperature when the antiferromagnetic bond distributions are sufficiently dilute. Furthermore, finite temperature paramagnetic-ferromagnetic transitions can also occur when the disordered bonds involve only ferromagnetic couplings of random strengths. In our numerical simulations, the 'zero temperature only' phase transitions are identified when there is no consistent finite-size scaling of the Renyi mutual information curves, while for finite temperature critical points, the curves can identify the critical temperature T-c by their crossings at T-c and 2 T-c.

Phase Transition of Ising Spin Glass Models in Two Dimensions

Michinori Shiomi, Fumitaka Matsubara, Takayuki Shirakura

We examine the phase transition of Ising spin glass models in two dimensions (2D), calculating complementary two quantities, i.e., the interface free energy \(\overline{\Delta F(T)}\) and the Binder parameter g L , on finite L × L ( L ≤24) lattices at very low temperatures T . We find that these quantities exhibit quite different features depending on the distribution of bonds. For the ± J distribution, \(\overline{\Delta F(T)}\) at very low temperatures slightly increases with L and g L intersect at T ∼0.25 J . These results suggest a non-zero temperature phase transition, T c ≠0. On the other hand, for the Gaussian distribution, \(\overline{\Delta F(T)}\) decreases as L increases even at T = 0 and g L for different L converges to unity at T = 0. These results confirm the assumption of the zero temperature phase transition, T c = 0. Finite-size scaling analyses support those results. Thus we suggest that, in 2D, the existence of a finite-temperature phase transition depends on the distribution of bonds and it exists when the bond distribution is ± J .

Numerical studies of Ising spin glasses in two, three, and four dimensions

R. N. Bhatt, A. P. Young

We present the results of numerical simulations on Ising spin glasses in zero magnetic field with nearest-neighbor interactions on hyper-cubic lattices in two, three, and four dimensions with both Gaussian and \ifmmode\pm\else\textpm\fi{}J bond distributions. Finite-size scaling is used to analyze the results. In two dimensions (d=2) we agree with earlier work that the transition temperature is at ${T}_{c}$=0, and obtain the correlation-length exponent \ensuremath{\nu}, and the exponent \ensuremath{\eta}, at the zero-temperature transition for the \ifmmode\pm\else\textpm\fi{}J model. In d=3 dimensions we concentrate on results for the Gaussian distribution, since our results for the \ifmmode\pm\else\textpm\fi{}J distribution have been presented earlier. As expected, we find similar results for the two distributions, namely a nonzero ${T}_{c}$ but evidence that d=3 is close to the lower critical dimension. In a four-dimensional spin glass with Gaussian bonds we find that only a modest amount of computer time is required to show that ${T}_{c}$ is nonzero with a long-range-ordered phase below ${T}_{c}$. Our estimates for critical exponents in d=4 dimensions agree well with results from recent high-temperature-series expansions.

Critical exponents in Ising spin glasses

L. Bernardi, Ian A. Campbell

We determine accurate values of ordering temperatures and critical exponents for Ising-spin-glass transitions in four dimensions, using a combination of finite-size scaling and nonequilibrium scaling techniques. We find that the exponents $\ensuremath{\eta}$ and $z$ vary with the form of the interaction distribution, indicating nonuniversality at Ising-spin-glass transitions. These results confirm conclusions drawn from numerical data for three dimensions.

We examine the phase transition of Ising spin glass models in two dimensions (2D), calculating complementary two quantities, i.e., the interface free energy ΔF(T)‾\overline{\Delta F(T)}ΔF(T)​ and the Binder parameter g L , on finite L × L ( L ≤24) lattices at very low temperatures T . We find that these quantities exhibit quite different features depending on the distribution of bonds. For the ± J distribution, ΔF(T)‾\overline{\Delta F(T)}ΔF(T)​ at very low temperatures slightly increases with L and g L intersect at T ∼0.25 J . These results suggest a non-zero temperature phase transition, T c ≠0. On the other hand, for the Gaussian distribution, ΔF(T)‾\overline{\Delta F(T)}ΔF(T)​ decreases as L increases even at T = 0 and g L for different L converges to unity at T = 0. These results confirm the assumption of the zero temperature phase transition, T c = 0. Finite-size scaling analyses support those results. Thus we suggest that, in 2D, the existence of a finite-temperature phase transition depends on the distribution of bonds and it exists when the bond distribution is ± J .
