Abstract

We numerically study the thermal transport in the classical inertial nearest-neighbor XY ferromagnet in d=1,2,3d=1,2,3, the total number of sites being given by N=LdN=L^d, where LL is the linear size of the system. For the thermal conductance σ\sigma, we obtain σ(T,L)Lδ(d)=A(d)eq(d)B(d)[Lγ(d)T]η(d)\sigma(T,L)\, L^{\delta(d)} = A(d)\, e_{q(d)}^{- B(d)\,[L^{\gamma(d)}T]^{\eta(d)}} (with eqz[1+(1q)z]1/(1q);e1z=ez;A(d)>0;B(d)>0;q(d)>1;η(d)>2;δ0;γ(d)>0)e_q^z \equiv [1+(1-q)z]^{1/(1-q)};\,e_1^z=e^z;\,A(d)>0;\,B(d)>0;\,q(d)>1;\,\eta(d)>2;\,\delta \ge 0; \,\gamma(d)>0), for all values of Lγ(d)TL^{\gamma(d)}T for d=1,2,3d=1,2,3. In the LL\to\infty limit, we have σ1/Lρσ(d)\sigma \propto 1/L^{\rho_\sigma(d)} with ρσ(d)=δ(d)+γ(d)η(d)/[q(d)1]\rho_\sigma(d)= \delta(d)+ \gamma(d) \eta(d)/[q(d)-1]. The material conductivity is given by κ=σLd1/Lρκ(d)\kappa=\sigma L^d \propto 1/L^{\rho_\kappa(d)} (LL\to\infty) with ρκ(d)=ρσ(d)d\rho_\kappa(d)=\rho_\sigma(d)-d. Our numerical results are consistent with 'conspiratory' dd-dependences of (q,η,δ,γ)(q,\eta,\delta,\gamma), which comply with normal thermal conductivity (Fourier law) for all dimensions.
