Corrections to scaling in multicomponent polymer solutions

Soft Condensed Matter 2009-11-11 v1 Statistical Mechanics

Abstract

We calculate the correction-to-scaling exponent ωT\omega_T that characterizes the approach to the scaling limit in multicomponent polymer solutions. A direct Monte Carlo determination of ωT\omega_T in a system of interacting self-avoiding walks gives ωT=0.415(20)\omega_T = 0.415(20). A field-theory analysis based on five- and six-loop perturbative series leads to ωT=0.41(4)\omega_T = 0.41(4). We also verify the renormalization-group predictions for the scaling behavior close to the ideal-mixing point.
