CRITICAL BEHAVIOUR AND SCALING FUNCTIONS FOR THE THREE-DIMENSIONAL O(6) SPIN MODEL WITH EXTERNAL FIELD

Abstract

We numerically investigate the three-dimensional O(6) model on 12^3 to 120^3 lattices. From Binder's cumulant at vanishing magnetic field we obtain the critical coupling J_c=1.42865(5) and verify this value with the χ^2-method. The universal value of Binder's cumulant at this point is g_r(J_c)=-1.94456(10). At the critical coupling we find the critical exponents ν=0.818(5), β=0.425(2) and γ=1.604(6) from a finite size scaling analysis. We also determine the finite-size-scaling function on the critical line and the equation of state. Our O(6)-result for the equation of state is compared to the Ising, O(2) and O(4) results.

Critical Ising Model on the Periodic Cubic Lattice $(\mathbb{Z}/L\mathbb{Z})^{3}$

Shenglan Yuan

We investigate the critical behaviour of the nearest-neighbour Ising model on the three-dimensional periodic cubic lattice $(\mathbb{Z}/L\mathbb{Z})^{3}$, and we present a companion set of Monte Carlo simulations. After recalling the rigorous results on the continuity of the spontaneous magnetization in $d=3$ and the triviality of the scaling limit in $d\ge 4$, we compile modern high-precision estimates of the 3D Ising critical exponents and verify the scaling relations that connect them. We then describe numerical measurements of the Binder cumulant, the magnetic susceptibility, the specific heat, the two-point correlation function, and the finite-size scaling of the magnetization. We discuss the systematic uncertainties that affect the extraction of the exponent ratios $γ/ν$ and $α/ν$, and we emphasize that an exponential fit of the correlation function is not appropriate at the critical point, where the decay is algebraic.

The critical behavior of 3D Ising spin glass models: universality and scaling corrections

Martin Hasenbusch, Andrea Pelissetto, Ettore Vicari

We perform high-statistics Monte Carlo simulations of three three-dimensional Ising spin glass models: the ± J Ising model for two values of the disorder parameter p , p = 1/2 and 0.7, and the bond-diluted ± J model for bond-occupation probability p b = 0.45. A finite-size scaling analysis of the quartic cumulants at the critical point shows conclusively that these models belong to the same universality class and allows us to estimate the scaling-correction exponent ω related to the leading irrelevant operator, ω = 1.0(1). We also determine the critical exponents ν and η. Taking into account the scaling corrections, we obtain ν = 2.53(8) and η = −0.384(9).

Transfer matrix and Monte Carlo tests of critical exponents in Ising model

J. Kaupužs

The corrections to finite-size scaling in the critical two-point correlation function G(r) of 2D Ising model on a square lattice have been studied numerically by means of exact transfer-matrix algorithms. The systems have been considered, including up to 800 spins. The calculation of G(r) at a distance r equal to the half of the system size L shows the existence of an amplitude correction proportional to 1/L^2. A nontrivial correction ~1/L^0.25 of a very small magnitude also has been detected, as it can be expected from our recently developed GFD (grouping of Feynman diagrams) theory. Monte Carlo simulations of the squared magnetization of 3D Ising model have been performed by Wolff's algorithm in the range of the reduced temperatures t =< 0.000086 and system sizes L =< 410. The effective critical exponent beta_eff(t) tends to increase above the currently accepted numerical values. The critical coupling K_c=0.22165386(51) has been extracted from the Binder cumulant data within 96 =< L =< 384. The critical exponent 1/nu, estimated from the finite-size scaling of the derivatives of the Binder cumulant, tends to decrease slightly below the RG value 1.587 for the largest system sizes. The finite-size scaling of accurately simulated maximal values of the specific heat C_v in 3D Ising model confirms a logarithmic rather than power-like critical singularity of C_v.

Critical behavior of a cubic-lattice 3D Ising model for systems with quenched disorder

Akai Kurbanovich Murtazaev, Ibragimkhan K. Kamilov, Albert Babaevich Babaev

A Monte Carlo method is applied to simulate the static critical behavior of a cubic-lattice 3D Ising model for systems with quenched disorder. Numerical results are presented for the spin concentrations of p = 1.0, 0.95, 0.9, 0.8, 0.6 on L × L × L lattices with L = 20–60 under periodic boundary conditions. The critical temperature is determined by the Binder cumulant method. A finite-size scaling technique is used to calculate the static critical exponents α, β, γ, and ν (for specific heat, susceptibility, magnetization, and correlation length, respectively) in the range of p under study. Universality classes of critical behavior are discussed for three-dimensional diluted systems.

Verification of Ising phase transitions in the three-dimensional Ashkin-Teller model using Monte Carlo simulations

G. Szukowski, G. Kamieniarz, Grzegorz Musiał

Monte Carlo simulations in the three-dimensional (3D) Ashkin-Teller model on a cubic lattice are performed in the regions of the two-parameter space diagram where Ising-type phase transitions are expected. The scaling behavior of the Binder cumulant Q and the magnetic susceptibility in the critical region are exploited. In simulations the periodic boundary conditions and the Metropolis algorithm are used. Starting from Ising critical exponents and applying the finite-size-scaling analysis of the cumulant Q with nonlinear corrections, the accurate positions of the critical couplings on the continuous phase transition lines are calculated. For these couplings the critical exponent y(h) is calculated analyzing the magnetic susceptibility in the framework of the finite-size scaling with corrections. The values of y(h) agree with the 3D Ising model value along two lines determined by the order parameter [ssigma] .

Modified scaling relation for the random-field Ising model

U. Nowak, Klaus D. Usadel, Joachim Esser

We investigate the low-temperature critical behavior of the three-dimensional random-field Ising ferromagnet. By a scaling analysis we find that in the limit of temperature T→0 the usual scaling relations have to be modified as far as the exponent α of the specific heat is concerned. At zero temperature, the Rushbrooke equation is modified to α+2β+γ=1, an equation which we expect to be valid also for other systems with similar critical behavior. We test the scaling theory numerically for the three-dimensional random-field Ising system with Gaussian probability distribution of the random fields by a combination of calculations of exact ground states with an integer optimization algorithm and Monte Carlo methods. By a finite-size scaling analysis we calculate the critical exponents ν≈1.0, β≈0.05, γ̄≈2.9, γ≈1.5 and α≈−0.55.
