Direct Monte Carlo Measurement of the Surface Tension in Ising Models
نویسنده
چکیده
I present a cluster Monte Carlo algorithm that gives direct access to the interface free energy of Ising models. The basic idea is to simulate an ensemble that consists of both configurations with periodic and with antiperiodic boundary conditions. A cluster algorithm is provided that efficently updates this joint ensemble. The interface tension is obtained from the ratio of configurations with periodic and antiperiodic boundary conditions, respectively. The method is tested for the 3dimensional Ising model.

String tension in gonihedric 3D Ising models
For the 3D gonihedric Ising models defined by Savvidy and Wegner the bare string tension is zero and the energy of a spin interface depends only on the number of bends and self-intersections, in antithesis to the standard nearest-neighbour 3D Ising action. When the parameter κ weighting the self-intersections is small the model has a first order transition and when it is larger the transition i...
متن کاملNon-equilibrium relaxation and interface energy of the Ising model
From the non-equilibrium critical relaxation study of the two-dimensional Ising model, the dynamical critical exponent z is estimated to be 2.165 ± 0.010 for this model. The relaxation in the ordered phase of this model is consistent with exp(− √ t/τ ) behavior. The interface energy of the threedimensional Ising model is studied and the critical exponent of the correlation length ν and the crit...
متن کاملTransfer matrix and Monte Carlo tests of critical exponents in Ising model
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 ∝ L. ...
متن کاملThe Phase Diagram of the Gonihedric 3 d Ising Model via CVME
We use the cluster variation method (CVM) to investigate the phase structure of the 3d gonihedric Ising actions deened by Savvidy and Wegner. The geometrical spin cluster boundaries in these systems serve as models for the string worldsheets of the gonihedric string embedded in Z 3. The models are interesting from the statistical mechanical point of view because they have a vanishing bare surfa...
