Scaling law of Wolff cluster surface energy

Statistical Mechanics 2009-11-10 v1

Abstract

We study the scaling properties of the clusters grown by the Wolff algorithm on seven different Sierpinski-type fractals of Hausdorff dimension 1<df31 < d_f \le 3 in the framework of the Ising model. The mean absolute value of the surface energy of Wolff cluster follows a power law with respect to the lattice size. Moreover, we investigate the probability density distribution of the surface energy of Wolff cluster and are able to establish a new scaling relation. It enables us to introduce a new exponent associated to the surface energy of Wolff cluster. Finally, this new exponent is linked to a dynamical exponent via an inequality.
