Ising Model magnetisation

I am simulating the 2D Ising Model and specifically looking at the time evolution of magnetisation $m$. Now, in the non-equilibrium state, magnetisation will grow as a power law with time $t$, if ...

Magnetic susceptibility error by binning Monte Carlo

I am studying the 2D Ising model using Monte Carlo simulations and I have learned the binning (or batching) method for the error statistical analysis. Following this discussion https://books.google.it/...

Phase transition in Ising Model with local $\mathbb{Z}_2$ symmetry

I am studying the Ising model with a local $\mathbb{Z}_2$ gauge symmetry \begin{equation} \mathcal{H} = -\sum_{\text{plaquettes}} \sigma^z(\vec{x}, \vec{\mu})\sigma^z(\vec{x}+\vec{\mu}, \vec{\nu})\...

Can the specific heat capacity in the Ising Model be negative?

Im working on a numerical method for the Ising model. I'm asked to calculate both the absolute magnetizetion and the specific heat capacity: $$c = \frac{\beta^2}{N} \left( \langle H^2 \rangle - \...

Two-point-correlation in the 3D ising model

I am currently coding a 3D (Monte-Carlo) implementation of the Ising model, using the single spin-flip & Wolff algorithm. So far, I was able to calculate all the interesting observables, like $M$ ...

Averages of absolute values in Monte Carlo simulation of Ising Model

Consider the 2D Ising model in $0$ field, with Hamiltonian $$ H=J\sum_{\langle i,j\rangle}\sigma_i\sigma_j$$ The magnetization per spin is defined as $$M=\frac{1}{N}\sum_i \sigma_i $$ Where $N$ is ...

Decorrelation times for a 2D Ising Model over a range of temperatures

So, I'm trying to simulate the Ising Model on a 2D square lattice of spins. When exploring the auto correlation of the magnetisation: Where the auto covariance: $$A(T) = \langle(M(t)\ - \langle M\...

Metropolis Monte-Carlo for magnetic system with $S > 1/2$ or arbitrary set of quantum systems

A well-known example of classical Monte-Carlo method application is Ising model with $S=1/2$. As I understood, people there widely use it for any kind of magnetic materials following the same idea $$ ...

Difference between two Monte-Carlo methods in Ising model

I was working on a Monte-Carlo simulation of the Ising model. It seems that we have two different way to flip a single spin and I didn't quite understand the difference between them. Say we have $N\...

Simulating the Ising Model, but with three states instead of two

Recall the homogeneous Ising energy of a configuration σ in the absence of a magnetic field is given by the Hamiltonian function $$ H(\sigma) = -\sum_{\langle i~j\rangle} \sigma_i \sigma_j , $$ where ...

Meaning of 'thermalization' in Markov Chain Monte Carlo simulations

In performing MCMC simulations, it is standard practice to 'equilibriate' or 'thermalize' the system and then discard the initial data before useful sampling is done. My question is about the concept ...
