Abstract

In order to investigate the variational-cumulant expansion (VCE) method, the 2-dimensional Ising model is expanded to the seventh order by adopting the method of enumerating connected diagrams, in whose process, how to determine the variational parameter is analyzed. The internal energy , specific heat and spontaneous magnetization are calculated from the first order to the seventh order. The results show that the thermodynamic and magnetic quantities converge to the exact values very quickly and the critical point approaches the exact one order by order. The curve-pairing phenomenon is watched between neighboring order curves at high temperature region.

Variational-Cumulant Expansion up to the Sixth Order Approximation on 2-Dimensional Ising Model

Ruijie Liu, T. L. Chen, Wu-Qun Huang

To study the variational-cumulant expansion (VCE) method, the 2-dimensional Ising model has been selected. The model is evaluated to the sixth order approximation with a scheme for the enumeration of connected diagrams. The internal energy , specific heat and spontaneous magnetization have been calculated. A comparison with the exact results shows that thermodynamic and magnetic quantities converge to the exact values rather quickly and the position of phase transition point approaches to the exact pointstand order by order.

A Trial of Variational-Cumulant Expansion on Simple Ising Model With Second Order Phase Transition

Che Hao, Yu Xia, Wang Hong-mo +1 more

The standard variational-cumulant expansion (VC) combined with a scheme for the enumeration of connected diagrams is employed to study the simple Ising model with the second-order phase transition. This model is evaluated to the 5th order approximations. A comparison with the 2-dimensional exact results shows that thermodynamic quantities converge rather slowly to the exact values in the intermediate region. A strict analytical calculation of the critical temperature with the 5th order approximation both for and cumulant expansion suggests that VC can achieve rather high standard accuracy if the variational parameters could be determined up to higher degrees of corrections rather than the first one. Anomalies are found for and at extremely low temperature. A detailed study of implies that thermodynamic formulae should be carefully chosen in VC approach so as to avoid these anomalies.

Analysis and Discussion About How to Determine the Variational Parameters in the Variational-Cumulant Expansion

Ruijie Liu, Chen Tian-Lun

Four methods of determining the variational parameter in the variational-cumulant expansion (VCE) are studied on the 2-dimensional Ising model. A comparison with the exact result shows that the main-variation method is the best one at low temperature, the complete-variational method is better than others at high temperature, the accumulation-point method is the best one to approximate the intermediate coupling region, and each of the methods is analyzed from the original formulas or conjectures. Some suggestions are given in order to get optimal results. The VCE is also analyzed from a point of view of symmetry breaking for the first time.

Variational cumulant expansion for the Heisenberg model with the critical temperature determined to third order

Ruijie Liu, T. L. Chen

The variational-cumulant-expansion (VCE) method is adopted to calculate the Heisenberg model. The free energy of the model is expanded to the third order, and the analytical formulas for the critical temperature ${\mathit{T}}_{\mathit{c}}$ are given for each order. The first order of VCE corresponds to the mean-field theory, the second order gives the same result for ${\mathit{T}}_{\mathit{c}}$ as the 1/z expansion, and the third order gives a more complicated correction. As a comparison, the results of the two-dimensional (2D) Ising model for VCE to the seventh order are shown. We carry out a trial to predict the critical temperature of the infinite order of the VCE, and get a very accurate result for the 2D Ising model. A prediction of ${\mathit{T}}_{\mathit{c}}$ for the Heisenberg model is also made.

The variational-cumulant expansion method is applied to the 2- and 3-dimensional Ising model on the simple quadratic and cubic lattice. The model is evaluated to the seventh order. The critical temperature is given, and curves of the internal energy and specific heat are displayed for 3-dimensional case.

Convergence of the Variational Cumulant Expansion

Ying Chen, Zhu Yunlun

In this article we discuss the convergence of the variational cumulant expansion (VCE) in the Ising model and lattice model. We find that in critical region VCE results do not converge so quickly as elsewhere and the analyticity of thermo-dynamical functions and the strong correlation in the critical region are responsible for this fact.
