The Monotony Criterion for a Finite Size Scaling Analysis of Phase Transitions
نویسندگان
چکیده
We propose a new criterion to analyse the order of phase transitions within a finite size scaling analysis. It refers to response functions like order parameter susceptibilities and the specific heat and states different monotony behaviour in volume for first and second order transitions close to the transition point. The criterion applies to analytical and numerical studies of phase diagrams including tricritical behaviour.

Finite-Size Scaling and Long-Range Interactions
The present review is devoted to the problems of finite-size scaling due to the presence of long-range interaction decaying at large distance as 1/rd+σ, where d is the spatial dimension and the long-range parameter σ > 0. Classical and quantum systems are considered. 1. Finite-size systems and critical phenomena A common wisdom is that the singularities in the thermodynamic functions at a criti...
متن کاملN ov 1 99 9 Finite size scaling of the balls in boxes model
We discuss the finite size behaviour in the canonical ensemble of the balls in boxes model. We compare theoretical predictions and numerical results for the finite size scaling of cumulants of the energy distribution in the canonical ensemble and perform a detailed analysis of the first and third order phase transitions which appear for different parameter values in the model.
متن کاملGround-state phase diagram of SÄ1 XXZ chains with uniaxial single-ion-type anisotropy
One-dimensional S51 XXZ chains with uniaxial single-ion-type anisotropy are studied by numerical exact diagonalization of finite-size systems. The numerical data are analyzed using conformal field theory, the level spectroscopy, phenomenological renormalization-group, and finite-size scaling method. We thus present a quantitatively reliable ground-state phase diagram of this model. The ground s...
متن کاملNumerical Study of Finite Size Scaling for First Order Phase Transitions
I present results of simulations of the q=10 and q=20 2-d Potts models in the transition region. The asymptotic finite size behavior sets in only for extremely large lattices. We learn from this simulation that finite size scaling cannot be used to decide that a transition is first order.
متن کامل1 Quantum phase transitions in the J − J ′ Heisenberg and XY spin - 12 antiferromagnets on square lattice : Finite - size scaling analysis
We investigate the critical parameters of an order-disorder quantum phase transitions in the spin-12 J−J ′ Heisenberg and XY antiferromagnets on square lattice. Basing on the excitation gaps calculated by exact diagonalization technique for systems up to 32 spins and finite-size scaling analysis we estimate the critical couplings and exponents of the correlation length for both models. Our anal...
