Abstract

We performed extensive simulations, using the Replica Exchange-Wang-Landau method, of the clock model for orders 3 and 4 on a square lattice, where critical behaviors are expected to belong to the Ising universality class. Though order 2 represents the Ising model, thus, being exactly solvable in two-dimensions, we still provide such results for comparison to the other two orders. Results for various energy related quantities such as the mean energy per spin, specific heat, as well as logarithm scaling of the peak of the specific heat are presented and shown to follow Ising behavior. Additionally, we also present results related to magnetic quantities, such as the magnetization, magnetic susceptibility, and corresponding scaling behavior of the peak of the magnetic susceptibility. Again, our results show scaling in conformity to Ising critical behavior.

Critical properties of an antiferromagnetic Ising model on a square lattice with interactions of the next-to-nearest neighbors

Akai Kurbanovich Murtazaev, Рамазанов Магомедшейх Курбанович, М. К. Бадиев

The critical properties of an antiferromagnetic Ising model on a square lattice with interactions of the next-to-nearest neighbors are investigated by a replica Monte-Carlo method. Using the finite-size scaling theory the static critical exponents of specific heat, ordering parameter, susceptibility, correlation radius as well as the Fisher exponent are calculated. An analysis of data is performed both with and without taking into account a correction to the finite-size scaling. It was found that in the model under consideration the second order phase transition is observed. It is shown that this model belongs to the new class of universality of critical behavior.

Critical behavior of the 2D Ising model modulated by the Octonacci sequence

Gladstone Alencar Alves, M.S. Vasconcelos, T. F. A. Alves

Abstract We investigated the Ising model on a square lattice with ferro and antiferromagnetic interactions modulated by the quasiperiodic Octonacci sequence in both directions of the lattice. We have applied the replica exchange Monte Carlo (parallel tempering) technique to calculate the thermodynamic quantities of the system. We obtained the order parameter, the associated magnetic susceptibility ( χ ) and the specific heat ( c ) in order to characterize the universality class of the phase transition. Also, we use the finite size scaling method to obtain the critical temperature of the system and the critical exponents β , γ and ν . In the low temperature limit we have obtained a continuous transition with critical temperature around T c ≈ 1.413 . The system obeys the Ising universality class with logarithmic corrections. We found estimatives for the correction exponents β ^ , γ ^ and λ ^ by using the finite size scaling technique.

Critical Behavior Simulation of the Two-Dimensional Ising Model—A Computational Physics Study Based on the Monte Carlo Method

佳钢李

To demonstrate the application of computational physics in modern statistical physics, this paper investigates the critical behavior of a finite-size ferromagnetic system based on the two-dimensional square-lattice Ising model.A nearest-neighbor Ising Hamiltonian is constructed, and periodic boundary conditions are adopted to reduce finite-boundary effects.The Metropolis Monte Carlo algorithm is used to sample spin configurations at different temperatures, while energy, magnetization, specific heat, magnetic susceptibility and Binder cumulant are calculated to describe the transition from an ordered state to a disordered state.The simulation results show that the system exhibits clear long-range order at low temperatures, where the order parameter remains high.As temperature increases, thermal fluctuations become stronger, magnetization decreases rapidly, and the system gradually evolves into a disordered state.The specific heat curve shows a pronounced peak at approximately (T = 2.269), while the susceptibility peak shifts slightly toward the high-temperature side due to finite-size effects and the discrete temperature grid.Overall, the simulated critical region is consistent with the theoretical critical temperature of the two-dimensional square-lattice Ising model.Spin-configuration analysis further reveals enhanced fluctuations and domain reconstruction near the critical region.In addition, a thermalization criterion and an extended sampling test for L = 48 near the critical region are added to examine the influence of finite sampling and equilibration.These results indicate that Monte Carlo simulation of the two-dimensional Ising model can effectively reproduce continuous phase transition, critical fluctuation and finite-size effects, providing a basic computational case for understanding critical phenomena in complex systems and data-driven physical analysis.

Critical properties of a two-dimensional Ising magnet with quasiperiodic interactions

Gladstone Alencar Alves, M.S. Vasconcelos, T. F. A. Alves

We address the study of quasiperiodic interactions on a square lattice by using an Ising model with ferromagnetic and antiferromagnetic exchange interactions following a quasiperiodic Fibonacci sequence in both directions of a square lattice. We applied the Monte Carlo method, together with the Metropolis algorithm, to calculate the thermodynamic quantities of the system. We obtained the Edwards-Anderson order parameter q_{EA}, the magnetic susceptibility χ, and the specific heat c in order to characterize the universality class of the phase transition. We also use the finite size scaling method to obtain the critical temperature of the system and the critical exponents β,γ, and ν. In the low-temperature limit we obtained a spin-glass phase with critical temperature around T_{c}≈2.274, and the critical exponents β,γ, and ν, indicating that the quasiperiodic order induces a change in the universality class of the system. Also, we discovered a spin-glass ordering in a two-dimensional system which is rare and, as far as we know, the unique example is an under-frustrated Ising model.

CRITICAL BEHAVIOR OF THE QUENCHED RANDOM MIXED-SPIN ISING MODEL

Maurício Godoy, W. Figueiredo

In this work, we simulated a quenched random mixed-spin Ising model on the square lattice. The model system consists of two different particles with spins σ = 1/2 (states ±1/2) and S = 1 (states ±1, 0). These particles are randomly distributed on the lattice, and we considered only nearest-neighbor interactions. This model can represent a random magnetic binary alloy AxB1-x, obtained from the high-temperature quenching of a liquid mixture. We performed Monte Carlo simulations for several lattice sizes and temperatures, and we found its critical temperature through the reduced fourth-order cumulant. We also determined the magnetization, the susceptibility, and the specific heat as a function of temperature. We used finite-size scaling arguments to estimate the critical exponents β, γ, and ν of the model. We showed that the quenched model is in the same universality class of the two-dimensional pure Ising model. We also investigated the sample to sample fluctuations that occur in the values of the thermodynamic quantities in order to describe the self-averaging properties at the critical point.

CRITICAL BEHAVIOR OF THE TWO-DIMENSIONAL RANDOMLY SITE-DILUTED ISING MODEL VIA WANG-LANDAU ALGORITHM

Ioannis A. Hadjiagapiou, Anastasios Malakis, S.S. Martinos

Abstract. The critical properties of the randomly site-diluted two-dimensional Ising model were studied using the Wang-Landau algorithm. The concentration of nonmagnetic sites was q = 0.1; the remaining sites were occupied by magnetic particles. The study was carried out in the appro-priate restricted but dominant energy subspaces. The main effort was focused on the specific heat and magnetic susceptibility by using the density of states for the model for lattices with linear size L = 20-120. The finite size scaling behavior of the specific heat and susceptibility was studied. The ratio of the critical exponents (α/ν) is negative (consistent with the Harris criterion), while the ratio (γ/ν) appears to assume its pure Ising model value (weak universality). 1.
