Abstract
This paper investigates the finite-size scaling of a infinite long cylindrical system in 3 dimensions which is a domain between 2 dimensions and 3 dimensions.Using the exact solution to a O(n) symmetrical φ~4 field model while n→∞,we prove that finite-size scaling is still tenable in the 3-dimension cylindrical system.Then we give the critical exponent of the magnetic susceptibility and the specific heat capacity and confirm the universal class to which our 3-dimension cylindrical system belongs.Finally we get the scaling functions of the magnetic susceptibility and the specific heat capacity and compare them with the corresponding results in 3-dimension cubic system.
