Abstract

It is well known that critical phenomena occur in condensed matter under certain conditions, when an abrupt change in its properties occurs. In the vicinity of critical points, various phenomena may arise. The critical region can be described by a set of state parameters (order parameters), which allow one to obtain information about the anomalous behavior of thermodynamic averages, internal processes, and the nature of the objects of study. The abnormal nonlinear behavior of state parameters is described by critical exponents. In this article, we considered spin glass on the example of the Edwards-Anderson model. For the simulation, the replica-exchange Monte-Carlo method was used. Critical exponents were obtained to describe the behavior of the model in the critical region.

Vanishing of the Edwards-Anderson order parameter in two- and three-dimensional Ising spin glasses

Alan J. Bray, M A Moore, P Reed

The nature of the freezing process in two- and three-dimensional Ising spin glasses with bonds J ij =+or-J has been investigated. Monte Carlo simulations indicate that the characteristic cusp in the susceptibility chi is a non-equilibrium phenomenon resulting from the finite observation times available for the computation of chi (or its experimental measurement). This picture of the freezing process, which is illustrated by explicit calculation for the one-dimensional Ising spin glass, implies chi =1/k B T for all temperatures, or that the Edwards-Anderson order parameter q vanishes. Investigation of the ground states of certain periodic models in two and three dimensions show that every spin belongs to a finite cluster which may be turned over with no cost of energy, so that q is rigorously zero for such models. It is argued that this result holds also for the fully random models.

Critical parameters of the three-dimensional Ising spin glass

Marco Baity‐Jesi, R. A. Baños, Andrés De la Cruz +21 more

We report a high-precision finite-size scaling study of the critical behavior of the three-dimensional Ising Edwards-Anderson model (the Ising spin glass). We have thermalized lattices up to $L=40$ using the Janus dedicated computer. Our analysis takes into account leading-order corrections to scaling. We obtain ${T}_{\mathrm{c}}=1.1019(29)$ for the critical temperature, $\ensuremath{\nu}=2.562(42)$ for the thermal exponent, $\ensuremath{\eta}=\ensuremath{-}0.3900(36)$ for the anomalous dimension, and $\ensuremath{\omega}=1.12(10)$ for the exponent of the leading corrections to scaling. Standard (hyper)scaling relations yield $\ensuremath{\alpha}=\ensuremath{-}5.69(13)$, $\ensuremath{\beta}=0.782(10)$, and $\ensuremath{\gamma}=6.13(11)$. We also compute several universal quantities at ${T}_{\mathrm{c}}$.

Real Space Renormalization Group Analysis with the Replica Method for the Two Dimensional Ising Edwards–Anderson Model

Takehisa Hasegawa, Koji Nemoto

We apply the real space renormalization group (RG) to the replica Hamiltonian of the two dimensional Ising Edwards–Anderson model to discuss the existence of the spin glass (SG) phase. We derive the RG equations under the replica symmetric (RS) ansatz and the resulting flow diagram indicates the existence of the SG phase. The critical exponent for the SG transition has a plausible value while that of the multicritical point (MCP) is a complex number. We consider that this failure at the MCP is due to not taking the RS breaking into account. Indeed we find that the RS breaking parameter is relevant both at the SG critical point and the MCP, indicating the nontriviality of the SG phase of this model.

Spin glass behavior in a random Coulomb antiferromagnet

J. Rehn, Roderich Moessner, A. P. Young

We study spin glass behavior in a random Ising Coulomb antiferromagnet in two and three dimensions using Monte Carlo simulations. In two dimensions, we find a transition at zero temperature with critical exponents consistent with those of the Edwards-Anderson model, though with large uncertainties. In three dimensions, evidence for a finite-temperature transition, as occurs in the Edwards-Anderson model, is rather weak. This may indicate that the sizes are too small to probe the asymptotic critical behavior, or possibly that the universality class is different from that of the Edwards-Anderson model and has a lower critical dimension equal to three.

Critical Properties of Spin-Glasses

A. Brooks Harris, T. C. Lubensky, Jing-Huei Chen

The critical properties of the model of a spin-glass proposed by Edwards and Anderson are studied using the renormalization group. The critical exponents are calculated in $6\ensuremath{-}\ensuremath{\epsilon}$ spatial dimensions. It is argued that a tricritical point can exist where the nonordering field is the skewness of the distribution of $J$.

Quantum transverse Ising spin-glass model in the mean-field approximation

Katarzyna Walasek, K. Lukierska‐Walasek

A mean-field approximation is used to investigate the quantum transverse Ising spin-glass model in the Edwards-Anderson version. We introduce two order parameters, diagonal and off diagonal in replica indices, and discuss their physical significance. The effective free-energy function is obtained, and the critical value of the transverse field $\ensuremath{\Gamma}$ at zero temperature is calculated. We find the behavior of the order parameters near the zero-temperature critical point. The phase diagram in the $\ensuremath{\Gamma}$,$T$ plane is also given.
