Griffiths singularity in the two dimensional random bond disordered Ising ferromagnet

Abstract

For the two dimensional random bond disordered Ising ferromagnet, we measured bulk data of the magnetic susceptibility ($χ$) and correlation length ($ξ$) up to $ξ\simeq 536$, with the use of a novel finite size scaling Monte Carlo technique. Our data are exclusively consistent with normal power-law critical behaviors with only one singular point at criticality, disproving the existence of Griffiths singularity even in an extremely deep scaling region. The critical exponents of $χ$ and $ξ$ increase continuously with the strength of disorder.

Critical Behavior and Griffiths-McCoy Singularities in the Two-Dimensional Random Quantum Ising Ferromagnet

Christian Pich, A. P. Young, Heiko Rieger +1 more

We study the quantum phase transition in the two-dimensional random Ising model in a transverse field by Monte Carlo simulations. We find results similar to those known analytically in one dimension. At the critical point the dynamical exponent is infinite and the typical correlation function decays with a stretched exponential dependence on distance. Away from the critical point there are Griffiths-McCoy singularities, characterized by a single continuously varying exponent, ${z}^{\ensuremath{'}}$, which diverges at the critical point, as in one dimension. Consequently, the zero temperature susceptibility diverges for a range of parameters about the transition.

Evidence for power-law Griffiths singularities in a layered Heisenberg magnet

Fawaz Y. Hrahsheh, Hatem Barghathi, Priyanka Mohan +2 more

We study the ferromagnetic phase transition in a randomly layered Heisenberg model. A recent strong-disorder renormalization group approach [Phys. Rev. B 81, 144407 (2010)] predicted that the critical point in this system is of exotic infinite-randomness type and is accompanied by strong power-law Griffiths singularities. Here, we report results of Monte-Carlo simulations that provide numerical evidence in support of these predictions. Specifically, we investigate the finite-size scaling behavior of the magnetic susceptibility which is characterized by a non-universal power-law divergence in the Griffiths phase. In addition, we calculate the time autocorrelation function of the spins. It features a very slow decay in the Griffiths phase, following a non-universal power law in time.

Griffiths singularities in the disordered phase of a quantum Ising spin glass

Heiko Rieger, A. P. Young

We study a model for a quantum Ising spin glass in two space dimensions by Monte Carlo simulations. In the disordered phase at T=0, rare strongly correlated regions give rise to strong Griffiths singularities, as originally found by McCoy for a one-dimensional model. We find that there are power law distributions of the local susceptibility and local nonlinear susceptibility, which are characterized by a smoothly varying dynamical exponent z. Over a range of the disordered phase near the quantum transition, the local nonlinear susceptibility diverges. The local susceptibility does not diverge in the disordered phase but does diverge at the critical point. Approaching the critical point from the disordered phase, the limiting value of z seems to equal its value precisely at criticality, even though the physics of these two cases seems rather different. \textcopyright{} 1996 The American Physical Society.

In and beyond the Griffiths phase: A large-deviation study of the magnetic susceptibility of the two-dimensional bond-diluted Ising model

Lambert Münster, Alexander K. Hartmann, Martin Weigel

The Griffiths phase in systems with quenched disorder occurs below the ordering transition of the pure system down to the ordering transition of the actual disordered system. While it does not exhibit long-range order, large fluctuations in the disorder degrees of freedom result in exponentially rare, long-range ordered states and hence the occurrence of broad distributions in response functions. Inside the Griffiths phase of the two-dimensional bond-diluted Ising model the distribution of the magnetic susceptibility is expected to have such a broad, exponential tail. A large-deviation Monte Carlo algorithm is used to sample this distribution and the exponential tail is extracted over a wide range of the support down to very small probabilities of the order of 10^{-300}. We study the behavior of the susceptibility distribution across the full phase diagram, from the paramagnetic state through the Griffiths phase to the ferromagnetically ordered system and down to the zero-temperature point. We extract the rate function of large-deviation theory as well as its finite-size scaling behavior and we reveal interesting differences and similarities between the cases. A connection between the fraction of ferromagnetic bonds in a given disorder sample and the size of the magnetic susceptibility is demonstrated numerically.

Two-dimensional Dilute Ising Models: Defect Lines and the Universality of the Critical Exponent ν

F. Szalma, Ferenc Iglói

We consider two-dimensional Ising models with randomly distributed ferromagnetic bonds and study the local critical behavior at defect lines by extensive Monte Carlo simulations. Both for ladder and chain type defects, non-universal critical behavior is observed: the critical exponent of the defect magnetization is found to be a continuous function of the strength of the defect coupling. Analyzing corresponding stability conditions, we obtain new evidence that the critical exponent $ν$ of the bulk correlation length of the random Ising model does not depend on dilution, i.e. $ν=1$.

Infinite-randomness criticality in a randomly layered Heisenberg magnet

Fawaz Y. Hrahsheh, Hatem Barghathi, Thomas Vojta

We study the ferromagnetic phase transition in a randomly layered Heisenberg magnet using large-scale Monte Carlo simulations. Our results provide numerical evidence for the infinite-randomness scenario recently predicted within a strong-disorder renormalization-group approach. Specifically, we investigate the finite-size scaling behavior of the magnetic susceptibility, which is characterized by a nonuniversal power-law divergence in the Griffiths phase. We also study the perpendicular and parallel spin-wave stiffnesses in the Griffiths phase. In agreement with the theoretical predictions, the parallel stiffness is nonzero for all temperatures $T<{T}_{c}$. In contrast, the perpendicular stiffness remains zero in part of the ordered phase, giving rise to anomalous elasticity. In addition, we calculate the in-plane correlation length, which diverges already inside the disordered phase at a temperature significantly higher than ${T}_{c}$. The time autocorrelation function within model $A$ dynamics displays an ultraslow logarithmic decay at criticality and a nonuniversal power law in the Griffiths phase.
