The Binder Cumulant at the Kosterlitz-Thouless Transition
نویسنده
چکیده
We study the behaviour of the Binder cumulant on finite square lattices at the Kosterlitz-Thouless phase transition. We determine the fixed point value of the Binder cumulant and the coefficient of the leading logarithmic correction. These calculations are supplemented with Monte Carlo simulations of the classical XY (plane rotator) model, the Villain model and the dual of the absolute value solid-on-solid model. Using the single cluster algorithm, we simulate lattices up to L = 4096. For the lattice sizes reached, subleading corrections are needed to fit the data for the Binder cumulant. We demonstrate that the combined analysis of the Binder cumulant and the second moment correlation length over the lattice size allows for an accurate determination of the Kosterlitz-Thouless transition temperature on relatively small lattices. We test the new method at the example of the 2-component φ4 model on the lattice. PACS numbers: 75.10.Hk, 05.10.Ln, 68.35.Rh

3d Spin Glass and 2d Ferromagnetic Xy Model: a Comparison
We compare the probability distributions and Binder cumulants of the overlap in the 3D Ising spin glass with those of the magnetization in the ferromagnetic 2D XY model. We analyze similarities and diierences. Evidence for the existence of a phase transition in the spin glass model is obtained thanks to the crossing of the Binder cumulant. We show that the behavior of the XY model is fully comp...
متن کاملKosterlitz-Thouless transition in thin films: A Monte Carlo study of three-dimensional lattice models
We study the phase transition of thin films in the three-dimensional XY universality class. To this end, we perform a Monte Carlo study of the improved two-component φ4 model, the improved dynamically diluted XY model and the standard XY model on the simple cubic lattice. We study films of a thickness up to L0 = 32 lattice spacings. In the short direction of the lattice free boundary conditions...
متن کاملKosterlitz-Thouless Transition Line for the Two Dimensional Coulomb Gas
With a renormalization group approach, we study the pressure of the two dimensional Coulomb Gas along a small piece of the Kosterlitz-Thouless transition line, i.e. the boundary of the dipole region in the activity-temperature phase-space.
متن کاملResistance scaling at the Kosterlitz-Thouless transition.
We study the linear resistance at the Kosterlitz–Thouless transition by Monte Carlo simulation of vortex dynamics. Finite size scaling analysis of our data show excellent agreement with scaling properties of the Kosterlitz–Thouless transition. We also compare our results for the linear resistance with experiments. By adjusting the vortex chemical potential to an optimum value, the resistance at...
