Critical properties of the three-dimensional equivalent-neighbor model and crossover scaling in finite systems

Abstract

Accurate numerical results are presented for the three-dimensional equivalent-neighbor model on a cubic lattice, for 12 different interaction ranges (coordination number between 18 and 250). These results allow the determination of the range dependences of the critical temperature and various critical amplitudes, which are compared to renormalization-group predictions. In addition, the analysis yields an estimate for the interaction range at which the leading corrections to scaling vanish for the spin-1 / 2 model, and confirms earlier conclusions that the leading Wegner correction must be negative for the three-dimensional (nearest-neighbor) Ising model. By complementing these results with Monte Carlo data for systems with coordination numbers as large as 52 514, the full finite-size crossover curves between classical and Ising-like behavior are obtained as a function of a generalized Ginzburg parameter. Also, the crossover function for the effective magnetic exponent is determined.

Critical scaling to infinite temperature

P. H. Lundow, Ian A. Campbell

Three-dimensional Ising model ferromagnets on different lattices with nearest-neighbor interactions, and on simple-cubic lattices with equivalent interactions out to further neighbors, are studied numerically. The susceptibility data for all these systems are analyzed using the critical renormalization-group theory formalism over the entire temperature range above ${T}_{c}$ with an appropriate choice of scaling variable and scaling expressions. Representative experimental data on a metallic ferromagnet (Ni) and an elementary fluid (Xe) are interpreted in the same manner so as to estimate effective coordination numbers.

Ising universality in three dimensions: a Monte Carlo study

Henk W. J. Blöte, Erik Luijten, Jouke R. Heringa

We investigate three Ising models on the simple cubic lattice by means of Monte Carlo methods and finite-size scaling. These models are the spin-1/2 Ising model with nearest-neighbour interactions, a spin-1/2 model with nearest-neighbour and third-neighbour interactions, and a spin-1 model with nearest-neighbour interactions. The results are in accurate agreement with the hypothesis of universality. Analysis of the finite-size scaling behaviour reveals corrections beyond those caused by the leading irrelevant scaling field. We find that the correction-to-scaling amplitudes are strongly dependent on the introduction of further-neighbour interactions or a third spin state. In a spin-1 Ising model, these corrections appear to be very small. This is very helpful for the determination of the universal constants of the Ising model. The renormalization exponents of the Ising model are determined as y t =1.587 (2), y h =2.4815 (15) and y i =-0.82 (6). The universal ratio Q=(m 2 ) 2 /(m 4 ) is equal to 0.6233 (4) for periodic systems with cubic symmetry. The critical point of the nearest-neighbour spin-1/2 model is K c =0.2216546 (10).

Simultaneous analysis of several models in the three-dimensional Ising universality class

Youjin Deng, Henk W. J. Blöte

We investigate several three-dimensional lattice models believed to be in the Ising universality class by means of Monte Carlo methods and finite-size scaling. These models include spin-1 / 2 models with nearest-neighbor interactions on the simple-cubic and on the diamond lattice. For the simple cubic lattice, we also include models with third-neighbor interactions of varying strength, and some "equivalent-neighbor" models. Also included are a spin-1 model and a hard-core lattice gas. Separate analyses of the numerical data confirm the Ising-like critical behavior of these systems. On this basis, we analyze all these data simultaneously such that the universal parameters occur only once. This leads to an improved accuracy. The thermal, magnetic, and irrelevant exponents are determined as y(t)=1.5868(3), y(h)=2.4816(1), and y(i)=-0.821(5), respectively. The Binder ratio is estimated as Q=<m(2)>(2)/<m(4)>=0.62 341(4).

Monte Carlo renormalization-group calculations of critical behavior in the simple-cubic Ising model

Godfrey Stuart Pawley, Robert H. Swendsen, D. J. Wallace +1 more

The Monte Carlo renormalization group is applied to the three-dimensional Ising model on simple cubic lattices with ${8}^{3}$, ${16}^{3}$, ${32}^{3}$, and ${64}^{3}$ sites. The comparison of block-spin correlation functions from the largest lattices yields the nearest-neighbor critical coupling ${K}_{1}^{c}=0.221654(6)$. After allowing for (i) interpolation to this best estimate for ${K}_{1}^{c}$, (ii) an apparent finite-size effect in the renormalization-group transformation due to the measurement of correlation functions of too few (seven) operators, and (iii) the extrapolation for the effect of a slow transient towards the fixed point, the values $\ensuremath{\nu}=0.629(4)$ and $\ensuremath{\eta}=0.031(5)$ are obtained for the thermal and magnetic exponents. The correction-to-scaling exponent $\ensuremath{\omega}$ is estimated to be around 1; to obtain an accuracy competitive with other methods requires measurements with more than seven operators. We briefly review the problem of redundant operators and indicate the future prospects for this kind of calculation.

Criticality and crossover in accessible regimes

Gerassimos Orkoulas, Athanassios Z. Panagiotopoulos, Michael Ellis Fisher

The near-critical behavior of (d = 3)-dimensional Ising-model ferromagnets or simple lattice gases with equivalent first, second, and third nearest-neighbor interactions is studied through Monte Carlo simulations using histogram reweighting techniques and comparisons with series expansions. By carefully analyzing numerical data from relatively small finite systems using scaling and extrapolation methods, it is demonstrated that one can reliably estimate critical exponents, critical temperatures, and universal amplitude ratios, thereby distinguishing convincingly between different "nearby" universality classes and revealing systematic crossover effects. This study is preparatory to extending similar techniques to study criticality in continuum fluid models lacking symmetries, with Coulomb interactions, etc.
