Numerical Ising Model - Wolff algorithm and correlations

I'm doing some numerical Monte Carlo analysis on the 2 dimensional Ising model at the critical point. I was using the Metropolis 'single flip' evolution at first with success, though it suffers from ...

Critical temperature and lattice size with the Wolff algorithm for 2d Ising model

When I run my implementation of the Wolff algorithm on the square Ising model at the theoretical critical temperature I get subcritical behaviour. The lattice primarily just oscillates between mostly ...

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\...

Dimension of Hamiltonian & Diagonalizability

Often in condensed matter physics literature, one encounters a Hamiltonian that goes something like : $$ H = \sum_{i=1}^{n} J_{i}\ S_{i}^{z} S_{i+1}^{z}, $$ where $J_{i}$ are the coupling constants, $...

Is there any point in doing Monte Carlo on classical 2D Ising spin systems? [closed]

The partition function of a classical Ising spin system with arbitrary bonds on any planar graph can be evaluated in polynomial time, through the FKT algorithm. And if I understand correctly, this ...

Magnetic susceptibility vs Monte Carlo step

I have some difficulties in understanding how to compute the magnetic susceptibility from a Monte Carlo simulation of the Ising model. I know that it is related to the magnetisation of the system by $\...

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 ...

I'm getting weird autocorrelations when simulating an Ising model below the critical temperature

So I'm simulating an Ising model using Monte Carlo and the Metropolis algorithm. After letting it reach equilibrium, I try to calculate the autocorrelation of the magnetization. As long as the system ...

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})\...

Local minima in Ising model in a Monte Carlo simulation

Is there any way to check whether in a Monte Carlo simulation using Ising model is stuck in any (false) local minima of energy or not, particularly in 3D system ?

Monte Carlo steps in Ising model Metropolis algorithm

In K.Binder's book Monte Carlo Simmulation in Statistical Physics 4th ed., one Monte Carlo step is defined as "one sweep through the lattice". However, in many other books and papers, the Monte Carlo ...

What is this secondary transition in the simulation of the Ising model?

Here, the horizontal axis is the strength of the ambient magnetic field. The Hamiltonian I used is $$H = -h\sum_i \sigma_i - J\sum_{\langle i \, j \rangle}\sigma_i\sigma_j.$$ The horizontal axis is $h$...

Periodic autocorrelation function for Ising model?

I am trying to calculate the autocorrelation time for a 2-D Ising model Monte Carlo simulation. As the autocorrelation function, I am using $$\chi (t) = \frac{1}{t_{max}-t} \sum_{t' = 0}^{t_{max}-t-1} ...

Spin glass observables in Monte Carlo simulations

I am currently simulating an Edwards-Anderson spin glass using standard Metropolis Monte Carlo techniques. The spins are placed on a 3D cubic lattice with periodic boundaries and take on Ising values (...
