Monte Carlo Renormalization Group Method to Study the First-Order Phase Transition in the Complex Ferromagnet

Abstract

An improved Monte Carlo renormalization group method is established. Based on a new model, as well as the generalized Glauber dynamics, the first-order phase transition is studied in the Erdös–Rényi network, which is used to represent the complex ferromagnet. Both static and dynamic critical exponents can be evaluated simultaneously, and the static critical exponents are evaluated to be independent of the dimension of the system. Thus by using the hyperscaling relation νd* = 2 − α, the effective dimension d* of complex networks can be found.

Phase transition in a two-dimensional Ising ferromagnet based on the generalized zero-temperature Glauber dynamics

Qing-Kuan Meng, Dong-Tai Feng, Xu-Tuan Gao +1 more

At zero temperature, based on the Ising model, the phase transition in a two-dimensional square lattice is studied using the generalized zero-temperature Glauber dynamics. Using Monte Carlo (MC) renormalization group methods, the static critical exponents and the dynamic exponent are studied; the type of phase transition is found to be of the first order.

Phase Diagram and Critical Exponents of the ±J Ising Model in Finite Dimensions by Monte Carlo Renormalization Group

Yukiyasu Ozeki, Hidetoshi Nishimori

We have performed large-scale numerical simulations for the ± J Ising model on the simple cubic and the square lattices with asymmetric weight of ferromagnetic and antiferromagnetic bonds. The Monte Carlo renormalization group method is used to estimate T c , γ/ν, β/ν and ν at various points along the phase boundary between ferromagnetic and paramagnetic phases including the tricritical point. The obtained values of T c and the resulting phase diagrams of the simple cubic and the square lattices are much more accurate than those estimated so far. In the simple cubic lattice, we find evidence for the possibility that universality of the ferromagnetic critical exponents holds along the critical line except at the tricritical point, while weak universality holds even at the tricritical point. Weak universality seems to hold also in the square lattice.

Improved actions using the renormalization group

Guy Segall, Snir Gazit, Daniel K. Podolsky

We introduce a numerical method to study the critical properties of the XY model close to the ferromagnet to paramagnet phase transition. Our method applies ideas of the tensor renormalization group to obtain an improved action. This improved action allows the extraction of universal critical properties through Monte Carlo simulations on relatively small system sizes. We demonstrate the effectiveness of this method on the XY model in three dimensions.

Histogram Monte Carlo renormalization group method for phase transition models without critical slowing down

Chin‐Kun Hu

Based on the subgraph expansions for phase transition models, we present a histogram Monte Carlo method to calculate the free energy and other physical quantities for such models as continuous functions of the system parameter. The method does not have any critical slowing down. We then use physical quantities thus obtained in a percolation renormalization group method to calculate critical point, critical exponents, and thermodynamic order parameter. Our method gives quite accurate results and may be applied to many phase transition models.

Dynamic Monte Carlo Renormalization Group

Jan Tobochnik, Sanjoy Kumar Sarker, Robert Cordery

A novel dynamic Monte Carlo renormalization-group method is devised. Application to the kinetic Ising model in one dimension yields a value of $z$, the dynamic critical exponent, which is in excellent agreement with the exact result. In two dimensions we find $z=2.22\ifmmode\pm\else\textpm\fi{}0.13$ with the most probable value $z=2.17$.

Renormalization group approach to statistical systems

Patrik Lidén

This report will study the theory of renormalization group used on a ferromagnet to calculate magnetic phase transitions. As the ferromagnet's temperature changes, so does interatomic interaction, causing either a lingering magnetization at low temperatures, or a random state at high temperatures. At the phase transition, where the magnetization first appears/disappears, depending from which side the critical temperature is approached, the ferromagnet will behave in a certain way that causes some quantities to receive power law behaviours, so called critical exponents. The theory of renormalization group is used to find the critical point and these power units on two different two-dimensional lattices, the square lattice and the triangular lattice. The first step is to study how atoms couple to each other in one-dimension. It is possible to group atoms together into blocks. These blocks will interact with each other through new couplings. It is possible to calculate the critical point and critical exponents by comparing the block couplings with the former atomic couplings and then find the exponents. The theory of renormalization does seem to work in general, as the result will be able to explain experimentally observed relation between exponents.
