Abstract

We present results of a numerical simulation of the three-state Potts model with random bond, in two dimensions. In particular, we measure the critical exponent associated with the magnetization and the specific heat. We also compare these exponents with recent analytical computations.

Critical behavior of the three-dimensional random-bond Potts model with many states

Wanjie Xiong, Chudong Xu, Zizheng Guo

The critical behavior of the three-dimensional random-bond Potts models with many states ( and ) is studied by the finite-time dynamic method. We evaluate the static and dynamic critical exponents as well as the critical temperatures. The asymptotic critical behavior for is identified with , and but the exponents obtained for with are the only effective ones. Our results support that is positive and the intrinsic can escape the bound suggested by previous work. By comparing with the results for various , we infer that the asymptotic critical behavior of the three-dimensional random-bond Potts model with many states is -dependent.

A Study of Cross-Over Effects For The 2D Random Bond Potts Model

Marco Picco

We present results of a numerical simulation of the $q$-state random bond Potts model in two dimensions and for large $q$. In particular, care is taken to study the crossover from the pure model to the random model, as well as the crossover from the percolation to the random model. We show how to determine precisely the random fixed point and measure critical exponents at this point.

Dynamical critical properties of the random-bond three-state Potts model

We study the dynamic critical behavior of the two-dimensional random-bond three-state Potts model using large-scale Monte Carlo simulations with the Wolff and Swendsen-Wang cluster algorithms. At the disorder-dependent critical temperature, we compute integrated and exponential autocorrelation times and extract the dynamic critical exponent z via finite-size scaling. Critical slowing down is significantly weakened by bond randomness, with the dynamic exponent decreasing from z≈0.54 in the pure system to z≈0.24 at strong disorder. From the finite-size scaling of the Wolff cluster size, we obtain γ/ν≈1.73, where γ and ν are the susceptibility and correlation-length exponents, respectively, consistent with the universality class of the two-dimensional three-state Potts model. These results indicate that bond randomness strongly affects the critical dynamics but leaves the underlying static universality class unchanged. Furthermore, both static and dynamic observables, including the specific heat and the autocorrelation times, show a lack of self-averaging.

Short-time dynamics and magnetic critical behavior of the two-dimensional random-bond Potts model

He-Ping Ying, Kenji Harada

The critical behavior in the short-time dynamics for the random-bond Potts ferromagnet in two dimensions is investigated by short-time dynamic Monte Carlo simulations. The numerical calculations show that this dynamic approach can be applied efficiently to study the scaling characteristic, which is used to estimate the critical exponents straight theta,beta/nu, and z, for quenched disordered systems from the power-law behavior of the kth moments of magnetization.

Monte Carlo simulation of phase transitions in a two-dimensional random-bond Potts model

S. Chen, Alan M. Ferrenberg, D. P. Landau

Using the ``multihit'' Swendsen-Wang cluster flipping method, we performed extensive Monte Carlo simulations to investigate the critical behavior of the two-dimensional (2D) eight-state random-bond Potts model. We applied finite-size-scaling techniques to extract the critical exponents for two different sets of bond strengths, from which we concluded that the transition is second order with critical exponents for both sets falling into same universality class, that of a 2D Ising model. A variation of the Lee-Kosterlitz method for determining the order of a phase transition was also applied. The double-peaked structure of the specific heat, which was found in some of the bond configurations, was also studied by simulation on periodic arrangements of strong and weak bonds.

Critical dynamics of the two-dimensional random-bond Potts model with nonequilibrium Monte Carlo simulations

Shuangli Fan, Fan Zhong

We study two-dimensional q -state random-bond Potts models for both q=8 and q=5 with a linearly varying temperature. By applying a successive Monte Carlo renormalization group procedure, both the static and dynamic critical exponents are obtained for randomness amplitudes (the strong to weak coupling ratio) of r_{0}=3 , 10, 15, and 20. The correlation length exponent nu increases with disorder from less than to larger than unity and this variation is justified by the good collapse of the specific heat near the critical region. The specific heat exponent is obtained by the usual hyperscaling relation alpha=2-dnu and thus indicates no possibility of the activated dynamic scaling. Both r_{0} and q have effects on the critical dynamics of the disordered systems, which can be seen from variations of the rate exponent, the hysteresis exponent, and the dynamic critical exponent. Implications of these results are discussed.
