Phase Transitions in Disordered Systems

A. Gordillo-Guerrero

We face the problem of phase transitions in diluted systems both from theoretical and numerical sides. We study the effects of quenched site-dilution in classical models (Heisenberg, Ising and Potts) in 2, 3, and 4 dimensions both by using the Renormalization Group and numerical simulations in the canonical and microcanonical ensembles. We propose and check a new formulation of the Finite Size Scaling ansatz (FSS) inside the microcanonical ensemble. We use microcanonical simulations to obtain a clear fist-order behavior for the diluted Potts model in 3D, estimating the tricritical dilution. We perform large-scale simulations of the 3D diluted Heisenberg model, checking its self-averaging properties. Finally we study the 4D diluted Ising model obtaining from the FSS of the specific heat a clear differentiation between the existing conflicting theories. We also compiled a large number of appendix that we expect to be used as future reference.

Critical-point finite-size scaling in the microcanonical ensemble

Ann Bruce, Nigel B. Wilding

We develop a scaling theory for the finite-size critical behavior of the microcanonical entropy (density of states) of a system with a critically divergent heat capacity. The link between the microcanonical entropy and the canonical energy distribution is exploited to establish the former, and corroborate its predicted scaling form, in the case of the 3d Ising universality class. We show that the scaling behavior emerges clearly when one accounts for the effects of the negative background constant contribution to the canonical critical specific heat. We show that this same constant plays a significant role in determining the observed differences between the canonical and microcanonical specific heats of systems of finite size, in the critical region.

Microcanonical analysis of small systems

Michel Pleimling, Behringer, Hans

The basic quantity for the description of the statistical properties of physical systems is the density of states or equivalently the microcanonical entropy. Macroscopic quantities of a system in equilibrium can be computed directly from the entropy. Response functions such as the susceptibility are for example related to the curvature of the entropy surface. Interestingly, physical quantities in the microcanonical ensemble show characteristic properties of phase transitions already in finite systems. In this paper we investigate these characteristics for finite Ising systems. The singularities in microcanonical quantities which announce a continuous phase transition in the infinite system are characterised by classical critical exponents. Estimates of the non-classical exponents which emerge only in the thermodynamic limit can nevertheless be obtained by analyzing effective exponents or by applying a microcanonical finite-size scaling theory. This is explicitly demonstrated for two- and three-dimensional Ising systems.
