Abstract

A finite-size scaling approach based on the transfer matrix method is developed to calculate the critical temperature and critical exponent of the symmetric and the asymmetric two-layer three-state Potts models. For similar intralayer interactions our calculation of the shift exponent $\ensuremath{\varphi}$ confirm some scaling arguments which predict $\ensuremath{\varphi}=\ensuremath{\gamma}$, where $\ensuremath{\gamma}$ is the susceptibility exponent. For unequal intralayer interactions we have obtained $\ensuremath{\varphi}=0.5$ which differ from the prediction $\ensuremath{\varphi}=\ensuremath{\gamma}∕2$ of a generalized mean-field theory.

Critical exponents of two-dimensional Potts and bond percolation models

Henk W. J. Blöte, M. P. Nightingale, Bernard Derrida

Critical exponents of the two-dimensional, q-state Potts model are calculated by means of finite size scaling and transfer matrix techniques for continuous q. Results for the temperature exponent agree accurately with the conjecture of den Nijs (1979). The magnetic exponent is found to behave in accordance with the conjecture of Nienhuis et al. (1980).

Order Parameter and Finite-Size Scaling

Hiroshi Takano, Y. Saito

On the basis of the finite-size scaling of the order parameter, a method to estimate the magnetic critical exponent is proposed. In this method, the magnitude of the order parameter for a finite system is calculated from two eigenvectors of the transfer matrix without ordering field. Applications of this method to the Ising and 3-state Potts models in two dimensions yield results in good agreement with the exact or conjectured values of the magnetic exponent.

Finite-size scaling study of two-dimensional dilute Potts models

Ueli Glaus

The author uses transfer matrices to calculate the free energy and various thermodynamic quantities of the two- and three-state Potts models with random bond interactions at the critical temperature. He verifies the Harris criterion for the three-state Potts model and estimates the new random critical exponents. For the Ising case, the results are consistent with randomness being irrelevant for the critical behaviour.

Critical exponents of the two-layer Ising model

Zhibing Li, Zhigang Shuai, Q Wang +2 more

The symmetric two-layer Ising model (TLIM) is studied by the corner transfer matrix renormalization group method. The critical points and critical exponents are calculated. It is found that the TLIM belongs to the same universality class as the Ising model. The shift exponent is calculated to be 1.773, which is consistent with the theoretical prediction of 1.75 with 1.3% deviation.

Calculation of the Critical Temperature for the Anisotropic Two-Layer Ising Model Using the Transfer Matrix Method

Mehrdad Ghaemi, Mohammad Ghannadi, Behrouz Mirza

A new finite-size scaling approach based on the transfer matrix method is developed to calculate the critical temperature of an anisotropic two-layer Ising ferromagnet on strips of r -wide sites of square lattices. The reduced internal energy per site has been accurately calculated for the ferromagnetic case, with the nearest-neighbor couplings K x and K y (where K x and K y are the nearest-neighbor interactions within each layer in the x and y directions, respectively) and with interlayer coupling K z, using different size-limited lattices. The calculated energies for different lattice sizes intersect at various points when plotted versus the reduced temperature. It is found that the location of the intersection point versus the lattice size can be fitted to a power series in terms of the lattice sizes. The power series is used to obtain the critical temperature of the unlimited two-layer lattice. The results obtained are in good agreement with the accurate values reported by others.
