Large Fluctuations of Local Magnetizations

Abstract

Large spatial-fluctuations of local magnetizations in the Ising chain are studied from the rigorous treatment of the fluctuation spectrum and the generalized spatial correlations. It is shown that at low temperatures the functions relevant to the large fluctuations satisfy scaling laws near a certain characteristic value q_* of the intensive variable q relevant to the present approach.

Scaling Structures of Free-Energy Fluctuations in a One-Dimensional Dilute Ising Model

Takuma Tanaka, Hirokazu Fujisaka, Masayoshi Inoue

Free-energy fluctuations in a one-dimensional dilute Ising system in the low dilution case are studied from the fluctuation-spectrum standpoint by discussing how the position-to-position fluctuation of free energy arises as magnetic bonds are gradually replaced by non-magnetic ones. The fluctuation-strength monotonically increases as the ratio of dilution is increased. This is found to be described as the scaling laws of relevant functions characteristic of the fluctuation-spectrum analysis.

Critical behavior of random transverse-field Ising spin chains

Daniel S. Fisher

A real-space renormalization-group treatment of random transverse-field Ising spin chains that was introduced previously is developed and extensively analyzed. It yields results that are asymptotically exact in the critical region near the zero-temperature para-to-ferromagnetic quantum phase transition. In particular, the exact scaling function is obtained for the magnetization as a function of a uniform applied magnetic field and the distance to the critical point, and up to the solution of a linear ordinary differential equation whose solution can be exhaustively analyzed, the scaling function of the average spin-spin correlation function is also obtained. Thus more exact information is obtainable about the critical behavior for this random model than is known for the pure version which is equivalent to the two-dimensional Ising model. The basic reason for this is the extremely broad distribution of energy scales that occurs at low energies near the critical point of the random system. For the random chain the distribution of the magnetization of the first spin in a semi-infinite system is also studied and the results found to agree in the scaling limit with results of McCoy obtained from the exact solution of the closely related McCoy-Wu Ising model; this provides strong justification for the validity of the present approach. The singular properties of the weakly ordered and weakly disordered ``Griffiths' phases'' that occur at zero temperature near the critical point are also studied, as well as the behavior at low but nonzero temperature. Possible extensions of the results and general lessons drawn from them for other random systems are briefly discussed.

Scaling laws and correlation functions near magnetic critical points

Robert Hecht

"Critical point phenomena in magnetic systems are studied with the aid of the scaling laws. These laws relate the critical indices which describe the behavior of thermodynamic and correlation functions near T. Kadanoff's derivation of the scaling 1aw is reviewed. An experimental survey of ferromagnetic and antiferromagnetic data near T is presented. Susceptibility, correlation length, magnectization, specific heat and a magnetic equation of state are discussed. It is found that the ""critical region"" can extend as far as [equation] although frequently it is restricted to E < 10-2 The critical indices S, y, v, ~ and ~, are close to the three dimensional ISing model values. Values for 0, y' and ~ are not known as conclusively. Specific heat behavior is discussed in terms -~ of a three-parameter fit, namely C = aE + b. Varying b allows one to estimate a possible range of a's. The experimental information is consistent with the scaling law relations 2 - alpha = 2 - alpha' = dV = d gamma / (2-pi) = gamma + 2B = B(d+1) The scaling law theory is extended to predict the temperature, field and spatial dependence of various spin correlation functions. These predictions are checked by analytic calculations for the two dimensional Ising model in zero field. Results are presented for the energy density-energy density and energy density-spin correlation functions in the limit E « 1, R » 1, but the product ER arbitrary. Results are also presented for a group of two, three and four spin correlations at cT. In each case the scaling law predictions are verified."

Structure of Correlation Functions near the Critical Point

Gerald L. Jones

An argument is presented for a certain asymptotic form for the correlation functions of two local dynamical variables when the system is near its critical point and in the one phase region. If $A(\mathbf{r})$ and $B(\mathbf{r})$ are local dynamical variables and $\ensuremath{\omega}$ stands for the variables specifying the thermodynamic state, it is found that for $\ensuremath{\omega}$ near the critical point ${\ensuremath{\omega}}_{c}$ and for $r$ large enough, $〈A(\mathbf{r})B(0)〉\ensuremath{-}〈A(\mathbf{r})〉〈B(0)〉\ensuremath{\simeq}\frac{{d}_{A}(\ensuremath{\omega}){d}_{B}(\ensuremath{\omega}){e}^{\ensuremath{-}\ensuremath{\kappa}(\ensuremath{\omega})}}{{r}^{b(\ensuremath{\omega})}}$, where $\ensuremath{\kappa}(\ensuremath{\omega})$ and $b(\ensuremath{\omega})$ are the same for a large class of $A$ and $B$ and $\ensuremath{\kappa}(\ensuremath{\omega})\ensuremath{\rightarrow}0$, $b(\ensuremath{\omega})\ensuremath{\rightarrow}b\ensuremath{\ge}0 \mathrm{as} \ensuremath{\omega}\ensuremath{\rightarrow}{\ensuremath{\omega}}_{c}$. For the Ising model of any dimension in zero field and below the critical temperature, the additional assumption of a single correlation length implies the relationship ${\ensuremath{\gamma}}^{\ensuremath{'}}+2\ensuremath{\beta}=2\ensuremath{-}{\ensuremath{\alpha}}^{\ensuremath{'}}$, which is often conjectured for the critical exponents.

Extreme statistics of the excitations in the random transverse Ising chain

István A. Kovács, Tamás Pető, Ferenc Iglói

In random quantum magnets, like the random transverse Ising chain, low energy excitations are localized in rare regions and there are only weak correlations between them. It is an open question whether these correlations are relevant in the sense of the renormalization group. To answer this question, we calculate the distribution of the excitation energy of the random transverse Ising chain in the disordered Griffiths phase with high numerical precision by the strong disorder renormalization group method and---for shorter chains---by free-fermion techniques. Asymptotically, the two methods give identical results, which are well fitted by the Fr\'echet limit law of the extremes of independent and identically distributed random numbers. Considering the finite size corrections, the two numerical methods give very similar results, but these differ from the correction term for uncorrelated random variables, indicating that the weak correlations between low-energy excitations in random quantum magnets are relevant.

Correlation Function and Susceptibility of Ising Magnet in a Vicinity of the Phase Transition Point

Ihor V. Pylyuk, Mykhailo P. Kozlovskii

The application of the method of collective variables to study the behavior of non-universal characteristics of a three-dimensional Ising-like system in the critical region has been illustrated by an example of the correlation function and the susceptibility. An analytic procedure for the calculation of those characteristics has been developed in the quartic-distribution approximation for order parameter fluctuations. The asymptotics of the correlation function at large distances obtained for the critical temperature (T = Tc) is shown to differ qualitatively from that in the T =/ Tc case because of the presence of the critical regime region for all fluctuation modes.
