Comparison of Monte Carlo Results for the 3D Ising Interface Tension and Interface Energy with (Extrapolated) Series Expansions
نویسنده
چکیده
We compare Monte Carlo results for the interface tension and interface energy of the 3-dimensional Ising model with Padé and inhomogeneous differential approximants of the low temperature series that was recently extended by Arisue to 17 order in u = exp(−4β). The series is expected to suffer from the roughening singularity at u ≈ 0.196. The comparison with the Monte Carlo data shows that the Padé and inhomogeneous differential approximants fail to improve the truncated series result of the interface tension and the interface energy in the region around the roughening transition. The Monte Carlo data show that the specific heat displays a peak in the smooth phase. Neither the truncated series nor the Padé approximants find this peak. We also compare Monte Carlo data for the energy of the ASOS model with the corresponding low temperature series that we extended to order u. CERN-TH.7029/93 MS-TPI-93-08 October 1993

The Interface Tension of the 3-Dimensional Ising Model in the Scaling Region
Using the Monte Carlo method, we determine the free energy of the interface of the 3D Ising model in the scaling region. By integrating the interface energies over the inverse temperature β, we obtain estimates for the free energies of interfaces with cross sections up to 96 by 96, and for a range 0.223 ≤ β ≤ 0.23. Our data yield a precise estimation of the interface tensions σ. We determine th...
متن کاملDirect Monte Carlo Measurement of the Surface Tension in Ising Models
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...
متن کاملInterface tension of the square lattice Ising model with next-nearest-neighbour interactions
In a recent letter, Zandvliet (Europhys. Lett., 73 (2006) 747) presented a simple derivation of an analytical expression for the interface free energy in the (10) direction of the Ising model on a square lattice with nearestand next-nearest-neighbour couplings, reproducing the famous exact Onsager formula in the special case of only nearest-neighbour interactions. By comparing the resulting tra...
متن کاملString 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...
