Non-hermitian tricriticality in the Blume-Capel model with imaginary field

Tricriticality and the Blume-Capel model: A Monte Carlo study within the microcanonical ensemble

Constrained tricritical Blume-Capel model in three dimensions.

Using the Wolff and geometric cluster Monte Carlo methods, we investigate the tricritical Blume-Capel model in three dimensions. Since these simulations conserve the number of vacancies and thus effectively introduce a constraint, we generalize the Fisher renormalization for constrained critical behavior to tricritical systems. We observe that, indeed, the tricritical behavior is significantly ...

Red-bond exponents of the critical and the tricritical Ising model in three dimensions.

Using the Wolff and geometric cluster algorithms and finite-size scaling analysis, we investigate the critical Ising and the tricritical Blume-Capel models with nearest-neighbor interactions on the simple-cubic lattice. The sampling procedure involves the decomposition of the Ising configuration into geometric clusters, each of which consists of a set of nearest-neighboring spins of the same si...

The Critical Behaviour of the Spin-3/2 Blume-capel Model in Two Dimensions

The phase diagram of the spin-3/2 Blume-Capel model in two dimensions is explored by conventional finite-size scaling, conformal invariance and Monte Carlo simulations. The model in its τ -continuum Hamiltonian version is also considered and compared with others spin3/2 quantum chains. Our results indicate that differently from the standard spin-1 Blume-Capel model there is no multicritical poi...

Backbone exponents of the two-dimensional q-state Potts model: a Monte Carlo investigation.

We determine the backbone exponent X(b) of several critical and tricritical q-state Potts models in two dimensions. The critical systems include the bond percolation, the Ising, the q=2-sqrt[3], 3, and 4 state Potts, and the Baxter-Wu model, and the tricritical ones include the q=1 Potts model and the Blume-Capel model. For this purpose, we formulate several efficient Monte Carlo methods and sa...
