Monte Carlo Simulation of the Three-dimensional Ising Spin Glass
We study the 3D Edwards-Anderson model with binary interactions by Monte
Carlo simulations. Direct evidence of finite-size scaling is provided, and the
universal finite-size scaling functions are determined. Using an iterative
extrapolation procedure, Monte Carlo data are extrapolated to infinite volume
up to correlation length \xi = 140. The infinite volume data are consistent
with both a continuous phase transition at finite temperature and an essential
singularity at finite temperature. An essential singularity at zero temperature
is excluded.Comment: 5 pages, 6 figures. Proceedings of the Workshop "Computer Simulation
