Surface magnetization of aperiodic Ising quantum chains
نویسندگان
چکیده
We study the surface magnetization of aperiodic Ising quantum chains. Using fermion techniques, exact results are obtained in the critical region for quasiperiodic sequences generated through an irrational number as well as for the automatic binary Thue-Morse sequence and its generalizations modulo p. The surface magnetization exponent keeps its Ising value, βs = 1/2, for all the sequences studied. The critical amplitude of the surface magnetization depends on the strength of the modulation and also on the starting point of the chain along the aperiodic sequence.

Log-periodic corrections to scaling: exact results for aperiodic Ising quantum chains
Log-periodic amplitudes of the surface magnetization are calculated analytically for two Ising quantum chains with aperiodic modulations of the couplings. The oscillating behaviour is linked to the discrete scale invariance of the perturbations. For the Fredholm sequence, the aperiodic modulation is marginal and the amplitudes are obtained as functions of the deviation from the critical point. ...
متن کاملMultiscaling in Ising quantum chains with random Hilhorst–van Leeuwen perturbations
We consider the influence on the surface critical behaviour of a quantum Ising chain of quenched random surface perturbations decaying as a power of the distance from the surface (random Hilhorst–van Leeuwen models). We study, analytically and numerically, the multiscaling behaviour of the surface magnetization and the surface energy density in the case of marginal perturbations.
متن کاملAperiodic Ising Quantum Chains
Some years ago, Luck proposed a relevance criterion for the effect of aperiodic disorder on the critical behaviour of ferromagnetic Ising systems. In this article, we show how Luck’s criterion can be derived within an exact renormalisation scheme for Ising quantum chains with coupling constants modulated according to substitution rules. Luck’s conjectures for this case are confirmed and refined...
متن کاملAperiodic Modulation in the 2 d Ising Model
– We consider the surface critical behaviour of a semi-infinite two-dimensional layered Ising model, where the couplings perpendicular to the surface follow the aperiodic Rudin-Shapiro sequence. The model has unusual critical properties: depending on the strength of the modulation, at the bulk critical point the surface magnetization is either discontinuous or vanishes with an essential singula...
متن کاملAperiodic and correlated disorder in XY-chains: exact results
We study thermodynamic properties, specific heat and susceptibility, of XY quantum chains with coupling constants following arbitrary substitution sequences. Generalizing an exact renormalization group transformation, originally formulated for Ising quantum chains, we obtain exact relevance criteria of Harris-Luck type for this class of models. For two-letter substitution rules, a detailed clas...
