Crossover scaling in two dimensions

Abstract

We determine the scaling functions describing the crossover from Ising-like critical behavior to classical critical behavior in two-dimensional systems with a variable interaction range. Since this crossover spans several decades in the reduced temperature as well as in the finite-size crossover variable, it has up to now largely evaded a satisfactory numerical determination. Using a dedicated Monte Carlo method, we could obtain accurate results for sufficiently large interaction ranges. Our data cover the full crossover region both above and below the critical temperature and support the hypothesis that the crossover functions are universal. Also the so-called effective exponents are discussed and we show that these can vary nonmonotonically in the crossover region.

Nonmonotonic Crossover of the Effective Susceptibility Exponent

Erik Luijten, Henk W. J. Blöte, Kurt Binder

We have numerically determined the behavior of the magnetic susceptibility upon approach of the critical point in two-dimensional spin systems with an interaction range that was varied over nearly 2 orders of magnitude. The full crossover from classical to Ising-like critical behavior, spanning several decades in the reduced temperature, could be observed. Our results convincingly show that the effective susceptibility exponent ${\ensuremath{\gamma}}_{\mathrm{eff}}$ changes nonmonotonically from its classical to its Ising value when approaching the critical point in the ordered phase. In the disordered phase the behavior is monotonic. Furthermore, the hypothesis that the crossover function is universal is supported.

Nature of crossover from classical to Ising-like critical behavior

Erik Luijten, Kurt Binder

We present an accurate numerical determination of the crossover from classical to Ising-like critical behavior upon approach of the critical point in three-dimensional systems. The possibility of varying the Ginzburg number in our simulations allows us to cover the entire crossover region. We employ these results to scrutinize several semiphenomenological crossover scaling functions that are widely used for the analysis of experimental results. In addition, we present strong evidence that the exponent relations do not hold between effective exponents.

Universal Behavior of Crossover Scaling Functions for Continuous Phase Transitions

S. Lübeck

We consider two different systems exhibiting a continuous phase transition into an absorbing state. Both models belong to the same universality class; i.e., they are characterized by the same scaling functions and the same critical exponents. Varying the range of interactions, we examine the crossover from the mean-field-like to the non-mean-field scaling behavior. A phenomenological scaling form is applied in order to describe the full crossover region, which spans several decades. Our results strongly support the hypothesis that the crossover function is universal.

Crossover scaling from classical to nonclassical critical behavior

Andrea Pelissetto C, Paolo Rossi, Ettore Vicari

We study the crossover between classical and nonclassical critical behaviors. The critical crossover limit is driven by the Ginzburg number G. The corresponding scaling functions are universal with respect to any possible microscopic mechanism which can vary G, such as changing the range or the strength of the interactions. The critical crossover describes the unique flow from the unstable Gaussian to the stable nonclassical fixed point. The scaling functions are related to the continuum renormalization-group functions. We show these features explicitly in the large-$N$ limit of the $\mathrm{O}(N) {\ensuremath{\varphi}}^{4}$ model. We also show that the effective susceptibility exponent is nonmonotonic in the low-temperature phase of the three-dimensional Ising model.

Medium-range interactions and crossover to classical critical behavior

Erik Luijten, Henk W. J. Blöte, Kurt Binder

We study the crossover from Ising-like to classical critical behavior as a function of the range R of interactions. The power-law dependence on R of several critical amplitudes is calculated from renormalization theory. The results confirm the predictions of Mon and Binder, which were obtained from phenomenological scaling arguments. In addition, we calculate the range dependence of several corrections to scaling. We have tested the results in Monte Carlo simulations of two-dimensional systems with an extended range of interaction. An efficient Monte Carlo algorithm enabled us to carry out simulations for sufficiently large values of R, so that the theoretical predictions could actually be observed. \textcopyright{} 1996 The American Physical Society.

MONTE CARLO STUDIES OF THE THREE-DIMENSIONAL ISING MODEL IN EQUILIBRIUM

Martin Hasenbusch B

We review Monte Carlo simulations of the Ising model and similar models in three dimensions that were performed in the last decade. Only recently, Monte Carlo simulations provide more accurate results for critical exponents than field theoretic methods, such as the ∊-expansion. These results were obtained with finite size scaling and "improved actions". In addition, we summarize Monte Carlo results for universal amplitude ratios, the interface tension, and the dimensional crossover from three to two dimensions.
