9 Feb 2002 | Journal: | Phys. Rev. B65, 184405 (2002) | Subject: | Statistical Mechanics | cond-mat.stat-mech | Abstract: | We extend the newly proposed probability-changing cluster (PCC) Monte Carlo algorithm to the study of systems with the vector order parameter. Wolff’s idea of the embedded cluster formalism is used for assigning clusters. The Kosterlitz-Thouless (KT) transitions for the two-dimensional (2D) XY and $q$-state clock models are studied by using the PCC algorithm. Combined with the finite-size scaling analysis based on the KT form of the correlation length, $xi propto exp(c/sqrt{T/T_{
m KT}-1})$, we determine the KT transition temperature and the decay exponent $eta$ as $T_{
m KT}=0.8933(6)$ and $eta=0.243(5)$ for the 2D XY model. We investigate two transitions of the KT type for the 2D $q$-state clock models with $q=6,8,12$, and {it for the first time} confirm the prediction of $eta = 4/q^2$ at $T_1$, the low-temperature critical point between the ordered and XY-like phases, systematically. | Source: | arXiv, cond-mat/0202161 | Services: | Forum | Review | PDF | Favorites |
