Critical exponents of the 3D antiferromagnetic three-state Potts model using the coherent-anomaly method

Miroslav Kolesik, Masuo Suzuki

Abstract

The antiferromagnetic three-state Potts model on the simple-cubic lattice is studied using the coherent-anomaly method (CAM). The CAM analysis provides the estimates for the critical exponents which indicate the XY universality class, namely α = −0.011, β = 0.351, γ = 1.309 and δ = 4.73. This observation corroborates the results of the recent Monte Carlo simulations, and disagrees with the proposal of a new universality class.

Accurate estimates of 3D Ising critical exponents using the Coherent-Anomaly Method

Miroslav Kolesik, Masuo Suzuki

An analysis of the critical behavior of the three-dimensional Ising model using the coherent-anomaly method (CAM) is presented. Various sources of errors in CAM estimates of critical exponents are discussed, and an improved scheme for the CAM data analysis is tested. Using a set of mean-field type approximations based on the variational series expansion approach, accuracy comparable to the most precise conventional methods has been achieved. Our results for the critical exponents are given by α = 0.108(5), β = 0.327(4), γ = 1.237(4) and δ = 4.77(5).

Coherent Anomaly Method Calculationon the Cluster Variation Method. II.Critical Exponents of Bond Percolation Model

Koh Wada, Naotosi Watanabe, Tetsuya Uchida

The critical exponents of the bond percolation model are calculated in the D (=2, 3,···)-dimensional simple cubic lattice on the basis of Suzuki's coherent anomaly method (CAM) by making use of a series of the pair, the square-cactus and the square approximations of the cluster variation method (CVM) in the s -state Potts model. These simple approximations give reasonable values of critical exponents α, β, γ and ν in comparison with ones estimated by other methods. It is also shown that the results of the pair and the square-cactus approximations can be derived as exact results of the bond percolation model on the Bethe and the square-cactus lattice, respectively, in the presence of ghost field without recourse to the s →1 limit of the s -state Potts model.

Critical behaviour of the three-dimensional XY universality class

Campostrini M, Hasenbusch M, Pelissetto A +2 more

We improve the theoretical estimates of the critical exponents for the three-dimensional XY universality class. We fine alpha=-0.0146(8), gamma =1.3177(5), nu =0.671 55(27), eta =0.0380(4), beta =0.3485(2), and delta =4.780(2). We observe a discrepancy with the most recent experimental estimate of alpha; this discrepancy calls for further theoretical and experimental investigations. Our results are obtained by combining Monte Carlo simulations based on finite-size scaling methods, and high-temperature expansions. Two improved models (with suppressed leading scaling corrections) are selected by Monte Carlo computation. The critical exponents are computed from high-temperature expansions specialized to these improved models. By the same technique we determine the coefficients of the small-magnetization expansion of the equation of state. This expansion is extended analytically by means of approximate parametric representations, obtaining the equation of state in the whole critical region. We also determine the specific-heat amplitude ratio.

Critical Properties of Antiferromagnetic Potts Model on a bcc Lattice

Djuma R. Kurbanova, A. K. Murtazaev, М. А. Магомедов +2 more

Abstract The Monte Carlo method has been used to study phase transitions and critical properties of the antiferromagnetic 3-state Potts model on a body-centered cubic lattice with interactions of the first (J1) and second (J2) nearest neighbors. The competition of exchange interactions in the range –2/3 < J2 < 0 was determined to result in a phase separation. In the low-temperature region, an ordered phase, lying inside the phase with broken sublattice symmetry, was found. The magnetic structures of the ground state corresponding to different regions of the phase diagram have been obtained. The analysis of the phase transition order has been carried out using the Binder cumulant method and the histogram method. It has been revealed that the interaction of the second nearest neighbors leads to a change in the type of phase transition. Static critical exponents have been calculated based on scaling relations. The critical exponents correspond to the universality class of the three-dimensional XY model.

A Second-Order Phase Transition as a Limit of the First-Order Phase Transitions –Coherent Anomalies and Critical Phenomena in the Potts Models–

Makoto Katori

A new scheme of the coherent-anomaly method (CAM) is proposed to study critical phenomena in the models for which a mean-field description gives spurious first-order phase transition. A canonical series of mean-field-type approximations are constructed so that the spurious discontinuity should vanish asymptotically as the approximate critical temperature approachs the true value. The true value of the critical exponents β and γ are related to the coherent-anomaly exponents defined among the classical approximations. The formulation is demonstrated in the two-dimensional q -state Potts models for q =3 and 4. The result shows that the present method enables us to estimate the critical exponents with high accuracy by using the date of the cluster-mean-field approximations.

The CAM Calculation of Critical Exponent ν by the Cluster Variation Method

Koh Wada, Naotoshi Watanabe

The critical exponent ν of correlation length is calculated on the basis of the coherent anomaly method (CAM) by using the pair, the cactus-square and the square approximations of the cluster variation method (CVM) in the D (≥2)-dimensional cubic lattice of the Ising model. These simple analytical approximations give good values of critical exponent ν and critical temperature in the two- and three-dimensional lattices. However, further consideration is needed to determine a critical dimension in the D -dimensional Ising model by the CAM.
