Logarithmic corrections in the two-dimensional Ising model in a random surface field

Abstract

In the two-dimensional Ising model weak random surface field is predicted to be a marginally irrelevant perturbation at the critical point. We study this question by extensive Monte Carlo simulations for various strength of disorder. The calculated effective (temperature or size dependent) critical exponents fit with the field-theoretical results and can be interpreted in terms of the predicted logarithmic corrections to the pure system's critical behaviour.

Critical behaviour near multiple junctions and dirty surfaces in the two-dimensional Ising model

Ferenc Iglói, Loïc Turban, Bertrand Berche

The authors consider m two-dimensional semi-infinite planes of Ising spins joined together through surface spins and study the critical behaviour near to the junction. The m=0 limit of the model-according to the replica trick-corresponds to the semi-infinite Ising model in the presence of a random surface field (RSFI). Using conformal mapping, second-order perturbation expansion around the weak- and strong-coupled planes limits and a differential renormalization group, they show that the surface critical behaviour of the RSFI model is described by Ising critical exponents with logarithmic corrections to scaling, while at multiple junctions (m>2) the transition is of first-order. There is a spontaneous junction magnetization at the bulk critical point.

Universal dependence on disorder of two-dimensional randomly diluted and random-bond ±J Ising models

Martin Hasenbusch B, Francesco Parisen Toldin, Andrea Pelissetto C +1 more

We consider the two-dimensional randomly site diluted Ising model and the random-bond +/-J Ising model (also called the Edwards-Anderson model), and study their critical behavior at the paramagnetic-ferromagnetic transition. The critical behavior of thermodynamic quantities can be derived from a set of renormalization-group equations, in which disorder is a marginally irrelevant perturbation at the two-dimensional Ising fixed point. We discuss their solutions, focusing in particular on the universality of the logarithmic corrections arising from the presence of disorder. Then, we present a finite-size scaling analysis of high-statistics Monte Carlo simulations. The numerical results confirm the renormalization-group predictions, and in particular the universality of the logarithmic corrections to the Ising behavior due to quenched dilution.

The Ising model in a random boundary field

John Cardy

Random magnetic fields acting on the boundary of a system are relevant if eta /sub ///(1. For the case of the two-dimensional Ising model they are marginal, giving rise to calculable logarithmic corrections to boundary quantities near the bulk critical point. These considerations may be important in the study of finite-size effects in the critical behaviour of adsorbed systems.

The Two-Dimensional Random Bond Ising Model at Criticality—A Monte Carlo Study

Jian‐Sheng Wang, Walter Selke, Vl.S. Dotsenko +1 more

The two-dimensional random bond Ising model with two distinct ferromagnetic nearest-neighbour couplings, J and J ', distributed randomly over the lattice with concentration 1/2 is studied for various ratios J '/ J at criticality. The critical temperature is exactly known from self-duality. The size-dependent specific heat shows a crossover from the perfect Ising to the randomness-dominated critical behaviour of doubly logarithmic form. In the latter region, our estimates for the critical exponents of the size-dependent magnetization and susceptibility are in very good agreement with analytic results suggesting β/ν = 1/8 and γ/ν = 7/4.

Ising exponents in the two-dimensional site-diluted Ising model

H.G. Ballesteros, L. A. Fernández, Víctor Martín-Mayor +3 more

We study the site-diluted Ising model in two dimensions with Monte Carlo simulations. Using finite-size scaling techniques we compute the critical exponents observing deviations from the pure Ising ones. The differences can be explained as the effects of logarithmic corrections, without requiring us to change the universality class.

The quenched-disordered Ising model in two and four dimensions

A. Gordillo-Guerrero, Ralph Kenna B, Juan Jesus Ruiz-Lorenzo +4 more

We briefly review the Ising model with uncorrelated, quenched random-site or random-bond disorder, which has been controversial in both two and four dimensions. In these dimensions, the leading exponent alpha, which characterizes the specific-heat critical behaviour, vanishes and no Harris prediction for the consequences of quenched disorder can be made. In the two-dimensional case, the controversy is between the strong universality hypothesis which maintains that the leading critical exponents are the same as in the pure case and the weak universality hypothesis, which favours dilution-dependent leading critical exponents. Here the random-site version of the model is subject to a finite-size scaling analysis, paying special attention to the implications for multiplicative logarithmic corrections. The analysis is fully supportive of the scaling relations for logarithmic corrections and of the strong scaling hypothesis in the 2D case. In the four-dimensional case unusual corrections to scaling characterize the model, and the precise nature of these corrections has been debated. Progress made in determining the correct 4D scenario is outlined.
