چکیده
Hamiltonian Monte Carlo (HMC) exploits Hamiltonian dynamics to construct efficient proposals for Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC). In this paper, we present a generalization of HMC which exploits non-canonical Hamiltonian dynamics. We refer to this algorithm as magnetic HMC, since in 3 dimensions a subset of the dynamics map onto the mechanics of a charged particle coupled to a magnetic field. We establish a theoretical basis for the use of non-canonical Hamiltonian dynamics in MCMC, and construct a symplectic, leapfrog-like integrator allowing for the implementation of magnetic HMC. Finally, we exhibit several examples where these non-canonical dynamics can lead to improved mixing of magnetic HMC relative to ordinary HMC.

Computer simulation of magnetic properties of Re-Tb amorphous alloys
Using the Monte Carlo method in the frame of the Heisenberg model we performed simulation of magnetic properties of Re100-xTbx (x=5–91 at. %) amorphous alloys and of pure amorphous Tb. Exchange interaction between the nearest neighbours and random uniaxial anisotropy were taken into account in the Hamiltonian. We calculated temperature dependence of magnetization, Edwards–Anderson order paramet...

In this work we study the thermodynamic properties of ultrathin ferromagnetic dots using Monte Carlo simulations. We investigate the vortex density as a function of the temperature and the vortex structure in monolayer dots with perpendicular anisotropy and long-range dipole interaction. The interplay between these two terms in the hamiltonian leads to an interesting behavior of the thermodynam...

متن کاملfrustrated honeycomb lattice Ising model
We study a classical fully-frustrated honeycomb lattice Ising model using Markov chain Monte Carlo methods and exact calculations . The Hamiltonian realizes a degenerate ground state manifold of equal-energy states, where each hexagonal plaquette of the lattice has one and only one unsatisfied bond, with an extensive residual entropy that grows as the number of spins N . Traditional singlespin ...
متن کاملMonte Carlo simulation of magnetization switching in a Heisenberg model for small ferromagnetic particles
Using Monte Carlo methods we investigate the thermally activated magnetization switching of small ferromagnetic particles driven by an external magnetic field. For low uniaxial anisotropy one expects that the spins rotate coherently while for sufficiently large anisotropy the reversal should be due to nucleation. The latter case has been investigated extensively by Monte Carlo simulation of cor...
