Monte Carlo study of the bimodal three-state Potts glass

1992

Employing Monte Carlo simulations, we compute the spin-glass susceptibility ${\mathrm{\ensuremath{\chi}}}_{\mathrm{SG}}$(T) of the three-state Potts glass model on a simple-cubic lattice for various temperatures and lattice sizes ranging from L=4 to 10. We use the discrete \ifmmode\pm\else\textpm\fi{}J distribution for the bonds. Comparing our results with a recent high-temperature series expansion, we find a systematic deviation at lower temperatures, which cannot be explained by finite-size effects in our data. The low-temperature behavior of ${\mathrm{\ensuremath{\chi}}}_{\mathrm{SG}}$(T) is compatible with d = 3 being the lower critical dimension of this model.

Ergodicity breaking in a mean field Potts glass: A Monte Carlo investigation

2002

We use Monte Carlo simulations, single spin-flip as well as parallel tempering techniques to investigate the 10-state fully connected Potts glass for system sizes of up to N = 2560. We find that the α-relaxation shows a strong dependence on N and that for the system sizes considered the system remains ergodic even at temperatures below T D , the dynamical critical temperature for this model. However, if one uses the data for the finite size systems, such as the relaxation times or the time dependence of the spin autocorrelation function, and extrapolates them to the thermodynamic limit, one finds that they are indeed compatible with the results for N = ∞ (which are known from analytical cal…

High-temperature series analysis of the p-state Potts glass model on d-dimensional hypercubic lattices

1999

We analyze recently extended high-temperature series expansions for the “Edwards-Anderson” spin-glass susceptibility of the p-state Potts glass model on d-dimensional hypercubic lattices for the case of a symmetric bimodal distribution of ferro- and antiferromagnetic nearest-neighbor couplings \(\). In these star-graph expansions up to order 22 in the inverse temperature \(\), the number of Potts states p and the dimension d are kept as free parameters which can take any value. By applying several series analysis techniques to the new series expansions, this enabled us to determine the critical coupling Kc and the critical exponent \(\) of the spin-glass susceptibility in a large region of …

Slowing down in the three-dimensional three-state Potts glass with nearest neighbor exchange : A Monte Carlo study

1998

,Static and dynamic properties of the Potts model on the simple cubic lattice with nearest neighbor ±Ĵ-interaction are obtained from Monte Carlo simulations in a temperature range where full thermal equilibrium still can be achieved (T/Ĵ ≥ 0.6). For a lattice size L = 16, in this range finite size effects are still negligible, but the data for the spin glass susceptibility agree with previous extrapolations based on finite size scaling of very small lattices. While the static properties are compatible with a zero temperature transition, they certainly do not prove it. Unlike the Ising spin glass, the decay of the time-dependent order parameter is compatible with a simple Kohlrausch function…

The Ground State of the 2-Dimensional Potts Glass

1992

We study the ground state of the 3-state Potts glass in 2 dimensions with a Gaussian distribution of couplings by domain wall renormalization group techniques. We find that the glass correlation function decays to a finite value within a distance of about 2.4 lattice spacings. Thus, there is long-range order in the ground state even though, as found earlier, there is a finite zero-point entropy.

Finite-size-scaling study of the simple cubic three-state Potts glass: Possible lower critical dimension d=3.

1990

For small lattices with linear dimension L ranging from L=3 to L=8 we obtain the distribution function P(q) of the overlap q between two real replicas of the three-state Potts-glass model with symmetric nearest-neighbor interaction with a Gaussian distribution. A finite-size-scaling analysis suggests a zero-temperature transition to occur with an exponentially diverging correlation length ${\ensuremath{\xi}}_{\mathrm{SG}}$\ensuremath{\sim}exp(C/${\mathit{T}}^{\mathrm{\ensuremath{\sigma}}}$). This implies that d=3 is the lower critical dimension.

A universal tensor network algorithm for any infinite lattice

2018

We present a general graph-based Projected Entangled-Pair State (gPEPS) algorithm to approximate ground states of nearest-neighbor local Hamiltonians on any lattice or graph of infinite size. By introducing the structural-matrix which codifies the details of tensor networks on any graphs in any dimension $d$, we are able to produce a code that can be essentially launched to simulate any lattice. We further introduce an optimized algorithm to compute simple tensor updates as well as expectation values and correlators with a mean-field-like effective environments. Though not being variational, this strategy allows to cope with PEPS of very large bond dimension (e.g., $D=100$), and produces re…

Influence of deterministic fluctuations on the 8-state Potts model

1999

We study a layered 8-state Potts model with an aperiodic modulation of the exchange couplings. Depending on its geometric properties, the aperiodic sequence may induce a 2nd order phase transition.

Static and dynamic glass transitions in the 10-state Potts glass: What can Monte Carlo simulations contribute?

2002

The p-state Potts glass with infinite range Gaussian interactions can be solved exactly in the thermodynamic limit and exhibits an unconventional phase behavior if p >4: A dynamical transition from ergodic to non-ergodic behavior at a temperature T D is followed by a first order transition at T 0 < T D, where a glass order parameter appears discontinuously, although the latent heat is zero. If one assumes that a similar scenario occurs for the structural glass transition as well (though with the singular behavior at T D rounded off), the p-state Potts glass should be a good test case to develop methods to deal with finite size effects for the static as well as the dynamic transition, and to…

Phase Transitions in the Multicomponent Widom-Rowlinson Model and in Hard Cubes on the BCC--Lattice

1997

We use Monte Carlo techniques and analytical methods to study the phase diagram of the M--component Widom-Rowlinson model on the bcc-lattice: there are M species all with the same fugacity z and a nearest neighbor hard core exclusion between unlike particles. Simulations show that for M greater or equal 3 there is a ``crystal phase'' for z lying between z_c(M) and z_d(M) while for z &gt; z_d(M) there are M demixed phases each consisting mostly of one species. For M=2 there is a direct second order transition from the gas phase to the demixed phase while for M greater or equal 3 the transition at z_d(M) appears to be first order putting it in the Potts model universality class. For M large, …
