Universality and crossover in an extremely anisotropic n-vector model
Amnon Aharony A
The critical behaviour of an anisotropic n-vector model with pure single-component or Ising-like coupling is studied. The non-interacting spin components are integrated over, and the resulting single-component, reduced hamiltonian represents the gaussian model for n= infinity and the Ising-Ginzburg-Landau-Wilson model for finite n. For large n one finds T c (n)-T c ( infinity ) varies as 1/n, while the susceptibility behaves as chi approximately t -1 X(1/nt phi ), with t=T/T c (n)-1 and phi = 1 / 2 (4-d).
