Published Jul 1, 1992• 0 citations

Abstract

A one-dimensional quantum mode1 with generalized next-nearest neighbour interaction is studied. The numerical results convince us of the existence of critical phenomenon in this model. The critical point condition is given, and the model belongs to the Ising universality.

Critical behaviour of a model with NNN interaction

Wei Fan, Bo-Wei Xu

A one-dimensional quantum model with next-nearest-neighbour interaction is studied. Under the long-wavelength approximation, the authors predict that this model belongs to the same universality class as the Ising model. This conclusion is checked with a numerical solution which is consistent with the prediction in both critical point and critical exponent.

A TRANSVERSE XY MODEL WITH NEXT NEAREST NEIGHBOUR INTERACTIONS

Xu Bo-wei, TANG KUN-FA, 上海交通大学物理系

We generalize the transverse XY model to the case with NNN interactions. The Hamiltonian is H=g∑nσn2-∑n ((1+γ)/2σnxσn+1x+(1-γ)/2σnyσn+1y)-λ∑n ((1+β)/2σnxσn+2x+(1-β)/2σnyσn+2y). It is shown that the model with β=0 and γ≠0 isequivalent to the free fermion field in the vicinity of critical point, so that it belongs to the Ising universality class.

Critical behaviour of the two-dimensional biaxial next-nearest-neighbour Ising model. A Monte Carlo study

Michael J. Velgakis, J. Oitmaa

The critical behaviour of an Ising model with competing interactions along both axes of a square lattice (the BNNNI model) is investigated by Monte Carlo methods. Convincing evidence for the existence of modulated structures near the transition(s) is obtained but the form of the phase diagram remains unclear.

Phase Transition in 2D Anisotropic Ising Model with Next-Nearest Neighbor Interactions in a Magnetic Field

D. Farsal, M. Badia, Mohamed Bennai

The critical behavior at the phase transition of the ferromagnetic two-dimensional anisotropic Ising model with next-nearest neighbor (NNN) couplings in the presence of the field is determined using mainly Monte Carlo (MC) method. This method is used to investigate the phase diagram of the model and to verify the existence of a divergence at null temperature which often appears in two-dimensional systems. We analyze also the influence of the report of the NNN interactions [Formula: see text] and the magnetic field [Formula: see text] on the critical temperature of the system, and we show that the critical temperature depends on the magnetic field for positive values of the interaction. Finally, we have investigated other thermodynamical qualities such as the magnetic susceptibility [Formula: see text]. It has been shown that their thermal behavior depends qualitatively and quantitatively on the strength of NNN interactions and the magnetic field.

Critical behaviour of the two-dimensional biaxial next-nearest-neighbour Ising model: series expansions

J. Oitmaa, Michael J. Velgakis

The critical behaviour of an Ising model with competing first- and third-nearest-neighbour interactions ('biaxial next-nearest-neighbour Ising' or BNNNI model) on the square lattice is investigated by high- and low-temperature series.

Non-universality in the Ising model with nearest and next-nearest neighbour interactions

Michael N. Barber

The critical behaviour of the Ising model on the square lattice with ferromagnetic nearest-neighbour interactions (J) and anti-ferromagnetic next-nearest neighbour interactions (J') is discussed for small lambda =J/ mod J' mod . The singular part of the free energy is calculated to second order in lambda by perturbation theory. Near the critical temperature of the unperturbed system (J=0), this expansion is found to have a form which may be exponentiated yielding, for non-zero lambda , a non-universal critical line along which the exponents vary continuously with lambda . For small lambda , the specific heat exponent, alpha = alpha 1 lambda 2 +O( lambda 2 ) with alpha 1 approximately=1.5.
