We present a novel anisotropic Heisenberg model in which the classical spin is restricted to a region of the unit sphere which depends on the value of the anisotropy parameter Δ. In the limit Δ→1, we recover the Ising model, and in the limit Δ→0, the isotopic Heisenberg model. Monte Carlo calculations are used to compare the critical temperature as a function of the anisotropy parameter for the restricted and unrestricted models, and finite-size scaling analysis leads to the conclusion that for all Δ>0 the model belongs to the Ising universality class. For small A the critical behavior is clearly seen in histograms of the transverse and longitudinal (z) components of the magnetization.

AbstractWe investigate the critical properties of the Ising S = 1/2 and S = 1 model on (3,4,6,4) and (34,6) Archimedean lattices. The system is studied through the extensive Monte Carlo simulations. We calculate the critical temperature as well as the critical point exponents γ/ν, β/ν, and ν basing on finite size scaling analysis. The calculated values of the critical temperature for S = 1 are kBTC/J=1.590(3), and kBTC/J=2.100(4) for (3,4,6,4) and (34,6) Archimedean lattices, respectively. The critical exponents β/ν, γ/ν, and 1/ν, for S=1 are β/ν=0.180(20), γ/ν=1.46(8), and 1/ν=0.83(5), for (3,4,6,4) and 0.103(8), 1.44(8), and 0.94(5), for (34,6) Archimedean lattices. Obtained results differ from the Ising S = 1/2 model on (3,4,6,4), (34,6) and square lattice. The evaluated effective dimensionality of the system for S = 1 are Deff=1.82(4), for (3,4,6,4), and Deff = 1.64(5) for (34,6).

We obtain nonperturbative results on the sine-Gordon model using the lattice field technique. In particular, we employ the Fourier accelerated hybrid Monte Carlo algorithm for our studies. We find the critical temperature of the theory based autocorrelation time, as well as the finite size scaling of the “thickness” observable used in an earlier lattice study by Hasenbusch et al.

To study the role of topological defects in the three-dimensional classical Heisenberg model we have simulated this model on simple cubic lattices of size up to 803, using the single-cluster Monte Carlo update. Analysing the specific-heat data of these simulations, we obtain a very accurate estimate for the ratio of the specific-heat exponent with the correlation-length exponent, α/ν, from a usual finite-size scaling analysis at the critical coupling Kc. Moreover, by fitting the energy at Kc, we reduce the error estimates by another factor of two, and get a value of α/ν, which is comparable in accuracy to best field theoretic estimates.

We study a nonequilibrium model with up–down symmetry and a noise parameter q known as majority-vote model (MVM) of Oliveira 1992 on opinion-dependent network or Stauffer–Hohnisch–Pittnauer (SHP) networks. By Monte Carlo (MC) simulations and finite-size scaling relations the critical exponents β∕ν, γ∕ν and 1∕ν and points qc and U* are obtained. After extensive simulations, we obtain β∕ν = 0.230(3), γ∕ν = 0.535(2) and 1∕ν = 0.475(8). The calculated values of the critical noise parameter and Binder cumulant are qc = 0.166(3) and U* = 0.288(3). Within the error bars, the exponents obey the relation 2β∕ν + γ∕ν = 1 and the results presented here demonstrate that the MVM belongs to a different universality class than the equilibrium Ising model on SHP networks, but to the same class as majority-vote models on some other networks.

In this work, we study the critical behavior of an epidemic propagation model that considers individuals that can develop drug resistance. In our lattice model, each site can be found in one of the four states: empty, healthy, normally infected (not drug resistant) and strain infected (drug resistant) states. The most relevant parameters in our model are related to the mortality, cure and mutation rates. This model presents two distinct stationary active phases: a phase with co-existing normal and drug resistant infected individuals, and an intermediate active phase with only drug resistant individuals. We employed a finite-size scaling analysis to compute the critical points and the critical exponents, β/ν and 1/ν, governing the phase transitions between these active states and the absorbing inactive state. Our results are consistent with the hypothesis that these transitions belong to the directed percolation universality class.

In this paper finite size scaling techniques are used to study the universality class of thermally diluted Ising systems, in which the realization of the disposition of magnetic atoms and vacancies is taken from the local distribution of spins in the pure original Ising model at criticality. The critical temperature, the critical exponents and therefore the universality class of these thermally diluted Ising systems depart markedly from the ones of short range correlated disordered systems. This result is in agreement with theoretical predictions previously made by Weinrib and Halperin for systems with long range correlated disorder.
