Phase transitions in the Lieb-kagome lattice interpolation

Abstract

We study the ferromagnetic Ising model on a two-dimensional transition lattice that continuously interpolates between the Lieb and kagome lattices via a geometric deformation parameterized by the angle θ. The exchange couplings follow a distance-dependent decay controlled by an exponent n, enabling us to disentangle the interplay between geometry and interaction range. Using extensive Monte Carlo simulations and Binder cumulant analysis, we map the phase diagram T_{c}(θ) and show that the critical temperature increases monotonically as the lattice acquires higher effective connectivity. In the large-n limit, the system approaches a nearest-neighbor regime in which the Monte Carlo critical temperatures converge to the known exact values of the Lieb and kagome limits. Finite-size scaling and data collapse confirm that the entire interpolation belongs to the two-dimensional Ising universality class. Beyond demonstrating the robustness of the critical behavior across the Lieb-kagome transition, the present framework suggests natural extensions. The continuous geometric interpolation between the nonfrustrated Lieb lattice and the frustrated kagome lattice offers a suitable platform to explore antiferromagnetic interactions, where the interplay between frustration and long-range couplings may induce nontrivial ordering.

Phase transitions and thermodynamic properties of antiferromagnetic Ising model with next-nearest-neighbor interactions on the Kagomé lattice

We study phase transitions and thermodynamic properties in the two-dimensional antiferromagnetic Ising model with next-nearest-neighbor interaction on a Kagomé lattice by Monte Carlo simulations. A histogram data analysis shows that a second-order transition occurs in the model. From the analysis of obtained data, we can assume that next-nearest-neighbor ferromagnetic interactions in two-dimensional antiferromagnetic Ising model on a Kagomé lattice excite the occurrence of a second-order transition and unusual behavior of thermodynamic properties on the temperature dependence.

Dynamic phase transitions on the kagome Ising ferromagnet

Zeynep Demir Vatansever

We perform extensive Monte Carlo simulations to investigate the dynamic phase transition properties of the two-dimensional kinetic Ising model on the kagome lattice in the presence of square-wave oscillating magnetic field. Through detailed finite-size scaling analysis, we study universality aspects of the nonequilibrium phase transition. Obtained critical exponents indicate that the two-dimensional kagome-lattice kinetic Ising model belongs to the same universality class with the corresponding Ising model in equilibrium. Moreover, dynamic critical exponent of the local moves used in simulations is determined with high precision. Our numerical results are compatible with the previous ones on kinetic Ising models.

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.

Finite-size analysis of a two-dimensional Ising model within a nonextensive approach

Nuno Crokidakis, Diogo O. Soares-Pinto, Mario S. Reis +3 more

In this work we present a thorough analysis of the phase transitions that occur in a ferromagnetic two-dimensional Ising model, with only nearest-neighbors interactions, in the framework of the Tsallis nonextensive statistics. We performed Monte Carlo simulations on square lattices with linear sizes L ranging from 32 up to 512. The statistical weight of the Metropolis algorithm was changed according to the nonextensive statistics. Discontinuities in the m(T) curve are observed for $q\ensuremath{\le}0.5$. However, we have verified only one peak on the energy histograms at the critical temperatures, indicating the occurrence of continuous phase transitions. For the $0.5<q\ensuremath{\le}1.0$ regime, we have found continuous phase transitions between the ordered and the disordered phases, and determined the critical exponents via finite-size scaling. We verified that the critical exponents $\ensuremath{\alpha}$, $\ensuremath{\beta}$, and $\ensuremath{\gamma}$ depend on the entropic index $q$ in the range $0.5<q\ensuremath{\le}1.0$ in the form $\ensuremath{\alpha}(q)=(10{q}^{2}\ensuremath{-}33q+23)/20$, $\ensuremath{\beta}(q)=(2q\ensuremath{-}1)/8$, and $\ensuremath{\gamma}(q)=({q}^{2}\ensuremath{-}q+7)/4$. On the other hand, the critical exponent $\ensuremath{\nu}$ does not depend on $q$. This suggests a violation of the scaling relations $2\ensuremath{\beta}+\ensuremath{\gamma}=d\ensuremath{\nu}$ and $\ensuremath{\alpha}+2\ensuremath{\beta}+\ensuremath{\gamma}=2$ and a nonuniversality of the critical exponents along the ferro-paramagnetic frontier.

Upper and lower critical decay exponents of Ising ferromagnets with long-range interaction

俊樹 堀田, Hidemaro Suwa, Synge Todo

We investigate the universality class of the finite-temperature phase transition of the two-dimensional Ising model with the algebraically decaying ferromagnetic long-range interaction, J_{ij}=|r[over ⃗]_{i}-r[over ⃗]_{j}|^{-(d+σ)}, where d (=2) is the dimension of the system and σ is the decay exponent, by means of the order-N cluster-algorithm Monte Carlo method. In particular, we focus on the upper and lower critical decay exponents, the boundaries between the mean-field-universality, intermediate, and short-range-universality regimes. At the critical decay exponents, it is found that the standard Binder ratio of magnetization at the critical temperature exhibits extremely slow convergence as a function of the system size. We propose more effective physical quantities, namely the combined Binder ratio and the self-combined Binder ratio, both of which cancel the leading finite-size corrections of the conventional Binder ratio. Utilizing these techniques, we clearly demonstrate that in two dimensions, the lower and upper critical decay exponents are σ=1 and 7/4, respectively, contrary to the recent Monte Carlo and renormalization-group studies [M. Picco, arXiv:1207.1018; T. Blanchard et al., Europhys. Lett. 101, 56003 (2013)EULEEJ0295-507510.1209/0295-5075/101/56003].

Berezinskii-Kosterlitz-Thouless phase transitions of the antiferromagnetic Ising model with ferromagnetic next-nearest-neighbor interactions on the kagome lattice

Yutaka Okabe, Hiromi Otsuka

We investigate the six-state clock universality of the Ising model on the kagome lattice, considering antiferromagnetic nearest-neighbor (NN) and ferromagnetic next-nearest-neighbor (NNN) interactions. Our comprehensive study employs three approaches: the level-spectroscopy method, Monte Carlo simulations, and a machine-learning phase classification technique. In this system, we observe two Berezinskii-Kosterlitz-Thouless (BKT) transitions. We present a phase diagram consisting of three phases: the low-temperature ordered phase with sublattice magnetizations, the intermediate BKT phase, and the high-temperature disordered phase, as a function of the ratio of the NNN interaction to the NN interaction. We verify the six-state clock universality through the machine-learning study, which uses data from the six-state clock model on the kagome lattice for training.
