Critical behavior of the spin-3/2 Blume-Capel model on a random two-dimensional lattice
We investigate the critical properties of the spin-3/2 Blume-Capel model in
two dimensions on a random lattice with quenched connectivity disorder. The
disordered system is simulated by applying the cluster hybrid Monte Carlo
update algorithm and re-weighting techniques. We calculate the critical
temperature as well as the critical point exponents , ,
, and . We find that, contrary of what happens to the spin-1/2
case, this random system does not belong to the same universality class as the
regular two-dimensional ferromagnetic model.Comment: 5 pages and 5 figure
Monte Carlo Study of the Spin-1 Baxter-Wu Model
The two-dimensional spin-1 Baxter-Wu model is studied by using Monte Carlo
simulations. The standard single-spin-flip Metropolis algorithm is used to
generate the configurations from which the order parameter, specific heat and
magnetic susceptibility are measured. The finite-size scaling procedure is
employed in order to get the critical behavior. The extensive simulations shown
that the critical exponents are different from those of the spin-1/2 model
suggesting that the spin-1 model is in a different universality class.Comment: 3 pages, 3 figures, 1 tabl
Phase diagram of the Kondo necklace: a mean-field renormalization group approach
In this paper we investigate the magnetic properties of heavy fermions in the
antiferromagnetic and dense Kondo phases in the framework of the Kondo necklace
model. We use a mean field renormalization group approach to obtain a
temperature versus Kondo coupling phase diagram for this model in
qualitative agreement with Doniach's diagram, proposed on physical grounds. We
further analyze the magnetically disordered phase using a two-sites approach.
We calculate the correlation functions and the magnetic susceptibility that
allow to identify the crossover between the spin-liquid and the local moment
regimes, which occurs at a {\em coherence} temperature.Comment: 5 figure
