Interacting Growth Walk on a honeycomb lattice

Abstract

The Interacting Growth Walk (IGW) is a kinetic algorithm proposed recently for generating long, compact, self avoiding walks. The growth process in IGW is tuned by the so called growth temperature T=1/(kBβ)T' = 1/(k_B \beta '). On a square lattice and at T=0T' = 0, IGW is attrition free and hence grows indefinitely. In this paper we consider IGW on a honeycomb lattice. We take contact energy, see text, as ϵ=ϵ=1\epsilon=-|\epsilon|=-1. We show that IGW at β=\beta' =\infty (T=0T'=0) is identical to Interacting Self Avoiding Walk (ISAW) at β=ln4\beta=\ln 4 (kBT=1/ln4=0.7213k_B T = 1/\ln 4=0.7213). Also IGW at β=0\beta ' = 0 (T=T' = \infty) corresponds to ISAW at β=ln2\beta = \ln 2 (kBT=1/ln2=1.4427k_B T= 1/ln 2 = 1.4427). For other temperatures we need to introduce a statistical weight factor to a walk of the IGW ensemble to make correspondence with the ISAW ensemble.
