Monte Carlo tests of theoretical predictions for critical phenomena: still a problem?
نویسندگان
چکیده
Two Monte Carlo studies of critical behavior in ferromagnetic Ising models are described: the first one deals with the crossover from the Ising class to the mean field class, when the interaction range increases. The second study deals with the finite size behavior at dimensionalities above the marginal dimension where Landau theory applies. The numerical results are compared to pertinent theoretical predictions, and unsolved problems are briefly described. 2000 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.

Monte Carlo tests of renormalization-group predictions for critical phenomena in Ising models
A critical review is given of status and perspectives of Monte Carlo simulations that address bulk and interfacial phase transitions of ferromagnetic Ising models. First, some basic methodological aspects of these simulations are brie#y summarized (single-spin #ip vs. cluster algorithms, "nite-size scaling concepts), and 0370-1573/01/$ see front matter 2001 Elsevier Science B.V.

متن کاملA New Approach for Monte Carlo Simulation of RAFT Polymerization
In this work, based on experimental observations and exact theoretical predictions, the kinetic scheme of RAFT polymerization is extended to a wider range of reactions such as irreversible intermediate radical terminations and reversible transfer reactions. The reactions which have been labeled as kinetic scheme are the more probable existing reactions as the theoretical point of view. The ...

We have simulated a magnetite nanoparticle based ferrofluid using Monte Carlo method. Two and three dimensional Monte Carlo simulations have been done using parallel computing technique. The aggregation and rearrangement of nanoparticles embedded in a liquid carrier have been studied in various particle volume fractions. Our simulation results are in complete agreement with the reported experim...
متن کاملProbabilistic Multi Objective Optimal Reactive Power Dispatch Considering Load Uncertainties Using Monte Carlo Simulations
Optimal Reactive Power Dispatch (ORPD) is a multi-variable problem with nonlinear constraints and continuous/discrete decision variables. Due to the stochastic behavior of loads, the ORPD requires a probabilistic mathematical model. In this paper, Monte Carlo Simulation (MCS) is used for modeling of load uncertainties in the ORPD problem. The problem is formulated as a nonlinear constrained mul...
متن کاملMonte Carlo Studies of Dynamic Critical Phenomena
We review the current state of knowledge of dynamic critical phenomena in simple magnetic models and present high statistics Monte Carlo data for critical slowing down in Ising and Potts models in two and three dimensions. By fitting the relaxation functions to multi-exponential decays at the critical temperature and applying finite size scaling we are able to extract very accurate estimates fo...
