Abstract

We study the critical behavior of the Ising model in three dimensions on a lattice with site disorder by using Monte Carlo simulations. The disorder is either uncorrelated or long-range correlated with correlation function that decays according to a power-law rar^{-a}. We derive the critical exponent of the correlation length ν\nu and the confluent correction exponent ω\omega in dependence of aa by combining different concentrations of defects 0.05pd0.40.05 \leq p_d \leq 0.4 into one global fit ansatz and applying finite-size scaling techniques. We simulate and study a wide range of different correlation exponents 1.5a3.51.5 \leq a \leq 3.5 as well as the uncorrelated case a=a = \infty and are able to provide a global picture not yet known from previous works. Additionally, we perform a dedicated analysis of our long-range correlated disorder ensembles and provide estimates for the critical temperatures of the system in dependence of the correlation exponent aa and the concentrations of defects pdp_d. We compare our results to known results from other works and to the conjecture of Weinrib and Halperin: ν=2/a\nu = 2/a and discuss the occurring deviations.
