Finite-size scaling and bulk critical behavior of a quantum spherical model with a long-range interaction: entropy, internal energy and specific heat

Abstract

Abstract The entropy, the internal energy and the specific heat of a d-dimensional quantum spherical model with a long-range interaction, the decreasing of which is controlled by a parameter σ (0 < σ ≤ 2), are studied close to its quantum critical point in the context of the finite-size scaling (FSS) theory for d = σ. The obtained specific heat critical exponent σ does not depend on σ and satisfies the quantum hyperscaling relation. Based on the derived FSS forms and asymptotes of the universal scaling functions of the considered quantities, the leading temperature dependencies of the entropy, the internal energy and the specific heat are obtained in both the renormalized classical and the quantum disordered regions of the phase diagram. It has been shown that when the temperature T → +0, the entropy and the specific heat in the renormalized classical region tend to zero as powers of T, while in the quantum disordered region they tend to zero exponentially.

Universal critical amplitudes in a quantum spherical model: Entropy, internal energy and specific heat

Ekaterina S. Pisanova, Ivan K. Ivanov

A d-dimensional quantum spherical model with a long-range interaction (decreasing at long distances r as r−d−σ, 0 <σ ≤ 2) is considered close to its quantum critical point. The low-temperature behaviors of the entropy, the internal energy and the specific heat capacity are studied for σ/2 < d < 3σ/2 in the context of the finite-size scaling (FSS) theory. For a σ-dimensional system and a d-dimensional system with short-range interaction (σ = 2) the results for the corresponding critical amplitudes as functions of the dimensionality of the system are presented.

Entropy and specific heat of a critical quantum system with long-range interaction

Ekaterina S. Pisanova

The entropy and the specific heat of a quantum spherical model with a long-range interaction (decreasing at large distances r as r –d–σ where d is the space dimensionality and 0 < σ ≤ 2) are studied in the quantum critical region at the upper quantum critical dimension d = 3σ/2. The problem of obtaining the temperature-dependent corrections to the ground state free energy involves the solution of a transcendental equation, the exact solution of which is expressed in terms of the Lambert W-function. The free energy, the entropy and the specific heat in the quantum critical region are derived in terms of the Lambert W-function. For systems in real physical dimensions (chains, thin layers, i.e. films and three-dimensional systems) the exact results for the entropy and the specific heat obtained in terms of the Lambert W-function and the leading asymptotic ones are compared on the basis of the calculated relative errors. It can be concluded that for a class of quantum models at the upper critical dimension the Lambert W-function is a very effective tool for an exact computation of low-temperature critical properties, especially in the finite-temperature quantum critical region.

On the low-temperature behavior of the critical specific heat capacity of an anharmonic crystal with long-range interaction

Ekaterina S. Pisanova, Angel Y. Krushkov

An exactly solvable lattice model describing structural phase transitions in an anharmonic crystal with long-range interaction (decreasing at large distances r as r−d−σ, where d is the space dimensionality and 0 < σ ≤ 2) is considered near to its zero-temperature critical point. The low-temperature behavior of the bulk specific heat capacity at the lower classical critical dimension (d = σ) is studied in different regions of the (T, λ)-phase diagram, where T is the temperature and λ is a parameter which switches on quantum fluctuations. From the results obtained one can see that when T → 0+ the specific heat capacity tends to zero in a different way in the regions: (a) renormalized classical region - as T raised to the second power and (b) quantum disordered region - exponentially.

Quantum version of a spherical model: Crossover from quantum to classical critical behavior

Thomas Vojta

We investigate a quantum version of the spherical model which is obtained from the classical Berlin-Kac spherical model by a simple canonical quantization scheme. We find a complete solution of the model for short-range as well as for long-range interactions. At finite temperatures the critical behavior is the same as in the classical spherical model whereas at zero temperature we find a quantum phase transition characterized by new critical exponents. Based on a functional-integral representation of the partition function the free energy of the model is shown to be equivalent to that of the nonlinear \ensuremath{\sigma} model in the limit of infinite order-parameter dimensionality. \textcopyright{} 1996 The American Physical Society.

Finite-size scaling for the correlation function of the spherical model with long-range interactions

J.G. Brankov, Daniel M. Danchev

Finite-size scaling for the effective correlation length and the pair correlation function of the mean spherical model is studied in the case of general geometry Ld−d′×∞d′, periodic boundary conditions, and long-range interactions decaying like R−d−σ at large distances R, with arbitrary real parameters 0<σ≤2, σ≤d≤2σ, d′≥0. The analytical technique used is based on integral transformations with kernels of Mittag–Leffler type. It makes it possible to easily generalize a number of results available only for short-range interactions or in special cases of the Ld−d′×∞d′ geometry. The effective correlation length is identified at arbitrary temperatures from the finite-size large-distance asymptotic behavior of the pair correlation function. It is explicitly shown that the finite-size scaling functions are not singular in the ε-expansion when ε→0+ neither at d=σ+ε, nor at d=2σ−ε. Moreover, the applicability of the ε-expansion is tested in the specific finite-size case of d′=σ±ε. The definition of the scaled field variable and the finite-size scaling in the regime of the first-order phase transition are also considered.

Phase transitions in the quantum Ising and rotor models with a long-range interaction

Amit Dutta, Jayanta K. Bhattacharjee

We investigate the zero-temperature and finite-temperature phase transitions of quantum Ising and quantum rotor models. We here assume a long-range (falling off as ${1/r}^{d+\ensuremath{\sigma}},$ where r is the distance between two spins/rotors in units of lattice spacing) ferromagnetic interaction among the spins or rotors. We find that the long-range behavior of the interaction drastically modifies the universal critical behavior of the system. The corresponding upper critical dimension and the hyperscaling relation and exponents associated with the quantum transition are modified and, as expected, they attain values of short-range system when $\ensuremath{\sigma}=2.$ The dynamical exponent varies continuously as the parameter \ensuremath{\sigma} and is unity for $\ensuremath{\sigma}=2.$ The one-dimensional long-range quantum Ising system shows a phase transition at $T=0$ for all values of \ensuremath{\sigma}. The most interesting observation is that the phase diagram for $\ensuremath{\sigma}=d=1$ shows a line of Kosterlitz-Thouless transition at finite temperature even though the $T=0$ transition is a simple order-disorder transition. These finite temperature transitions are studied near the phase boundary using renormalisation group equations and a region with diverging susceptibility is located. We have also studied one-dimensional quantum rotor model which exhibits a rich and interesting transition behavior depending upon the parameter \ensuremath{\sigma}. We explore the phase diagram extending the short-range quantum nonlinear \ensuremath{\sigma} model renormalisation group equations to the present case.
