Infrared bound and mean-field behaviour in the quantum Ising model

Jakob E. Björnberg

Published Jan 1, 2013• 9 citations
OpenAlex

Abstract

We prove an infrared bound for the transverse field Ising model. This bound is stronger than the previously known infrared bound for the model, and allows us to investigate mean-field behaviour. As an application we show that the critical exponent $\gamma$ for the susceptibility attains its mean-field value $\gamma=1$ in dimension at least 4 (positive temperature), respectively 3 (ground state), with logarithmic corrections in the boundary cases.

Vanishing critical magnetization in the quantum Ising model

Jakob E. Björnberg

Adapting the recent argument of Aizenman, Duminil-Copin and Sidoravicius for the classical Ising model, it is shown here that the magnetization in the transverse-field Ising model vanishes at the critical point. The proof applies to the ground state in dimension $d\geq2$ and to positive-temperature states in dimension $d\geq 3$, and relies on graphical representations as well as an infrared bound.

Critical Behaviour of the Susceptibility of the Ising Model with a Transverse Field

Akira Yanase, Yukito Takeshige, Masaaki Suzuki

The critical behaviour of the susceptibility of the Ising model with a transverse field is investigated by means of the perturbation expansions. Exact expressions for the coefficients up to seventh order in J / k T are given as functions of Δ/ k T for the quadratic, triangular, simple cubic, b.c.c. and f.c.c. lattices. The universality of the critical index is concluded from the analysis of the coefficients and the critical temperature is obtained as function of the transverse field for the five kinds of lattices.

The quantum-classical crossover critical behaviour of the Ising model in a transverse field

Pierre M. Pfeuty

The quantum-classical crossover critical behaviour of the Ising model in a transverse field Gamma is first studied in one dimension where exact results are obtained. The correspondence between the quantum-classical crossover behaviour of this d-dimensional quantum model and the finite-size crossover behaviour of an equivalent (d+1)-dimensional classical model exact for d=1 is extended to higher dimensions. The crossover depends strongly on the relative magnitude of the crossover exponent phi and of the critical line-shift exponent Psi . In particular, if Pi > Psi approaches the critical line along a path of constant transverse field less than the critical field Gamma c and a low temperature, only classical behaviour is seen, quantum effects do not show up. There is some controversy about the value of Psi . Experiments are suggested to give an answer.

Upper bounds for the transition temperatures of generalized Ising models

A. Brooks Harris

Fisher's rigorous bound chi < chi saw , where chi saw is the susceptibility calculated from the self-avoiding walk (SAW) generating function, is applied to (i) the ferromagnetic Ising alloy, (ii) the dilute Ising ferromagnet, (iii) the layer susceptibility of a free surface, (iv) the Ising ferromagnet in a transverse field, and (v) the dilute Ising ferromagnet in a transverse field. The author obtains an upper bound T UB for the temperature T 0 below which a spontaneous magnetization occurs. The use of a microscopically varying molecule field is analysed. A heuristic argument is given to show that, for the dilute Ising ferromagnet in a transverse field, the critical transverse field at zero temperature jumps from zero to a value at least equal to that of the one-dimensional ground state as x passes through the critical percolation concentration.

Mean-field theory of the transverse-field Ising spin glass in the classical limit

Mai Suan Li, Krzysztof. Walasek, Marek Cieplak

An infinite-range transverse-field Ising spin glass is studied in the classical limit. At the $T=0$ phase transition the nonlinear susceptibility diverges as a function of the field with an exponent of $1/2$ which is equal to the quantum estimates but without a multiplicative logarithmic correction. The replica-symmetric solution fails at $T=0$ below the critical value of the transverse field. Equations that break the replica symmetry are constructed and are shown to be harder to solve than in the absence of the transverse field. In the absence of the transverse field their solution agrees with that of Sommers and Dupont [J. Phys. C 17, 5785 (1984)].

Critical behaviour of a generalized Ising model

J. Oitmaa

A high temperature expansion is obtained for the zero field susceptibility of a generalized Ising model, which can be used to describe the critical behaviour of various multicomponent systems. The first seven terms of the series are obtained for the face centred cubic lattice. Estimates of the critical temperature obtained from this series are considerably more precise than those obtained previously from the zero field free energy. Estimates are also obtained for the critical exponents of the susceptibility and the derivatives of the zero field free energy. The results are compared with the predictions of mean field theory.
