Abstract

The mechanisms leading to thermodynamic chaos in the Baxter-Wu model is considered. We compare the Baxter-Wu model with triangular antiferromagnets and discuss the difficulties related to the modeling of thermodynamic chaos by disordered models. We also discuss how to overcome the problem of infinitely many order parameters. Then we consider the Baxter-Wu model in a complex magnetic field and show the existence of infinitely many critical exponents in this model.

Critical dynamics of the Baxter-Wu model

M. Santos, W. Figueiredo

The short-time behavior of the Baxter-Wu model is investigated through the relaxation of the order parameter at the critical temperature. We considered Monte Carlo simulations for this model on a triangular lattice, and we studied relaxation starting from the fourfold-degenerate ground state. Using the short-time scaling formalism we found the static critical exponents beta and nu of the model and the corresponding dynamical critical exponent z. The values of the static exponents we find agree with the exact ones. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first determination of the dynamical critical exponent of the Baxter-Wu model.

Short-time critical dynamics of the Baxter-Wu model

Everaldo Arashiro, J. R. Drugowich de Felício

We study the early time behavior of the Baxter-Wu model, an Ising model with three-spin interactions on a triangular lattice. Our estimates for the dynamic exponent z are compatible with results recently obtained for two models which belong to the same universality class of the Baxter-Wu model: the two-dimensional four-state Potts model and the Ising model with three-spin interactions in one direction. However, our estimates for the dynamic exponent theta of the Baxter-Wu model are completely different from the values obtained for those models. This discrepancy could be related to the absence of a marginal operator in the Baxter-Wu model.

Critical behavior of the Baxter-Wu model with quenched impurities

M. A. Novotny, David Paul Landau

We have used an importance-sampling Monte Carlo technique to study the Baxter-Wu model with various fractions of the lattice sites occupied by random, quenched, nonmagnetic, site impurities. We found the system had long-time fluctuations which were caused by the creation and motion of domain boundaries. For this reason our study required the use of a large number of Monte Carlo steps per spin. The data were analyzed using finite-size scaling to extract the infinite-lattice critical exponents and critical amplitudes from the Monte Carlo simulation of finite lattices. This analysis of the data for the pure Baxter-Wu model yielded results which agreed well with exact results and series-expansion predictions. The addition of quenched site impurities caused a dramatic change in the critical behavior. The pure-lattice critical exponents ($\ensuremath{\nu}=\frac{2}{3}$, $\ensuremath{\alpha}=\frac{2}{3}$, ${\ensuremath{\gamma}}_{m}\ensuremath{\simeq}1.17$) change upon the addition of only a few percent impurities to $\ensuremath{\nu}=1.00\ifmmode\pm\else\textpm\fi{}0.07$, $\ensuremath{\alpha}\ensuremath{\lesssim}0.0$, and ${\ensuremath{\gamma}}_{m}=1.95\ifmmode\pm\else\textpm\fi{}0.08$. The phase diagram as a function of impurity concentration and an estimate for the infinite-lattice percolation limit are also given.

Phase diagram and critical behavior of the spin-1 Baxter-Wu model with a crystal field

M. L. M. Costa, J. C. Xavier, J. A. Plascak

The phase diagram and critical behavior of the spin-1 Baxter-Wu model with a crystal field in two dimensions is explored by renormalization group, conventional finite-size scaling, and conformal invariance techniques. We found that the phase diagram of this model is qualitatively the same as that of the dilute 4-states Potts model, presenting a multicritical point for a finite value of the crystal field, in disagreement with previous work based on finite-size calculations. However, our results indicate that the critical exponents vary continuously along the second-order transition line, differently from the expected behavior of the dilute 4-states Potts model.

Monte Carlo renormalization-group study of the impure Baxter-Wu model

M. A. Novotny, David Paul Landau

We have used a Monte Carlo renormalization-group method to study the Baxter-Wu model with random, quenched, nonmagnetic site impurities. The results clearly show that the impurities change the critical exponents from the zero-impurity exact value of \ensuremath{\nu}=(2/3) to \ensuremath{\nu}=0.97\ifmmode\pm\else\textpm\fi{}0.04. The magnetic and crossover exponents do not change measurably with the addition of the impurities. We also find that the fixed point for the model with quenched impurities is further from the starting Hamiltonian than it was for the pure model.

Non-Equilibrium Critical Dynamics of the Kinetic Baxter Model

Hiroshi Takano

The non-equilibrium critical dynamics of the Baxter model is studied through Monte Carlo simulations. The single-spin-flip stochastic dynamics is introduced on the basis of the formulation of the model as an Ising-type model on the square lattice with next-nearest-neighbor and four-spin interactions. At several points on the critical line, the dynamic critical exponent z and the critical exponent \bar λ c , which characterizes the non-equilibrium critical relaxation, are estimated for the two order parameters of the model, the magnetization and the polarization. For both order parameters, the estimated \bar λ c varies systematically along the critical line. On the other hand, the estimated z is almost constant. This suggests that while the exponent z is universal, the exponent \bar λ c is not.
