Amplitude Ratios and the Approach to Bulk Criticality in Parallel Plate Geometries

Statistical Mechanics 2009-10-31 v1

Abstract

We present analytical and numerical results for the specific heat and susceptibility amplitude ratios in parallel plate geometries. The results are derived using field-theoretic techniques suitable to describe the system in the bulk limit. Advantages and drawbacks of our method are discussed on the light of other approaches previously reported in the literature.
