Abstract

Two nonperturbative methods by means of the transfer-matrix finite-size-scaling and Monte Carlo simulations are used to investigate the spin-1 Ashkin-Teller model (ATM). We have obtained rich phase diagrams with first- and second-order phase transitions with several multicritical points of higher order. Also this model exhibits a partially ordered phase ${\mathrm{PO}}_{2}$ which does not exist in the spin-1/2 Ashkin-Teller model (ATM). Finally, the critical behavior of this model is discussed.

Numerical study of the spin-3/2 Ashkin-Teller model

Boudefla, Bekhechi, Hontinfinde

The study of the Ashkin-Teller model (ATM) of spin-3/2 on a hypercubic lattice is undertaken via Monte Carlo simulation.The phase diagrams are displayed and discussed in the physical parameter space.Rich physical properties are recovered, namely the second order transition and multicritical points.The phase diagrams have been obtained by varying the strength describing the four spin interaction and the single ion potential.This model shows a new high temperature partially ordered phase, called 〈S〉 and a new Baxter 3/2 ground state which do not exist either in the spin-1/2 ATM or in the spin-1 ATM.

Critical properties of the spin-1 Ashkin-Teller model from the differential operator method

Mohamed Loulidi

In order to study the effect of the anisotropy parameter on the two coupled Ising models, we propose an Ashkin-Teller model (ATM) with spin variable S=1. Using an effective-field theory, we show that near the partially ordered phase ${\mathrm{PO}}_{1}$ that appears in spin-1/2 ATM, this model presents a new partially ordered phase ${\mathrm{PO}}_{2}$. The anisotropy parameter introduces a first-order phase transition between different phases. However, the model exhibits a rich variety of phase diagrams and higher-order critical points.

Etude numérique du modèle Ashkin Teller.

Rania Boudefla ép Belarbi

L'étude du modèle Ashkin-Teller (ATM) du spin-3/2 sur un réseau cubique est effectuée par la simulation de Monte Carlo (MC). Les diagrammes de phase sont affichés et discutés dans l'espace de paramètres physiques. Des propriétés physiques riches sont récupérées, comme la transition du second ordre et les points multicritiques. Les diagrammes de phase ont étés obtenus en faisant varier l'interaction 4spins et le champ cristallin. Ce modèle montre une nouvelle phase partiellement ordonné à haute température, appelé et une nouvelle phase Baxter 3/2 qui n’existe pas ni dans l'ATM de spin-1/2, ni dans le spin-1 ATM.

Etude du modèle d’Ashkin-Teller à spins mélangés S=1 et =32 sous l’effet d’anisotropies différentes par la méthode de Monte Carlo.

Zakariya Amimer

In order to study the nature of phase transitions in magnetic systems, the aim of our research is to explore the S=1 and σ=3/2 states where the ferromagnetism as well as the influence of different crystal fields will be studied by the Monte Carlo method of The Ashken-Teller model which is a coupling of two Ising models with a four-component parameter. We have given some theoretical definitions related to the phase transition as well as the types of magnetism also the spin models and the simulation method. First, we identify the most stable phases in the phase diagrams at temperature T=0 by energy minimization. Then For higher temperatures, we find phase diagrams rich in ordered phases: a 3/2 Baxter phase and a 1/2 Baxter phase as well as a phase that appears neither in spin 1 nor in spin 3/2 ATM, and finally, a <σ> = 1/2 phases with 1st and 2nd order.

N -color Ashkin-Teller model

Gary S. Grest, Michael Widom

We study a model Hamiltonian consisting of $N$ Ising models coupled pairwise through a four-spin interaction ${K}_{4}$. When $N=2$ this model is the well-known Ashkin-Teller model which shows nonuniversal critical behavior in two dimensions in the neighborhood of ${K}_{4}=0$. To see if this behavior persists for $N\ensuremath{\ne}2$ we perform a first-order-perturbation expansion around the decoupling point in two dimensions. As an aid in interpreting the results of this perturbation expansion we have determined the phase diagram of the system through mean-field theory and Monte Carlo studies in both two and three dimensions for $N=3$. The results show that $N=2$ is special because the coupling between Ising models is marginal over a range of values of ${K}_{4}$. We discuss the effect of the coupling ${K}_{4}$ for $N\ensuremath{\ne}2$.

Phase diagram of the 2d Ashkin-Teller model: numerical transfer-matrix approach

G. Kamieniarz, Piotr Kozłowski, Raf Dekeyser

The aim of this work is to determine as accurately as possible the phase diagram of the Askhin-Teller model (AT) in two dimensions. Calculations for the simple square L x L lattice using transfer matrix techniques were performed (L= 2,...,9) to find the ratio QL. Exploiting finite-size scaling for QL, all unknown critical lines were obtained with good accuracy.
