I use the two-step density-matrix renormalization group method to extract the critical exponents $\beta$ and $\nu$ in the transition from a N\'eel $Q=(\pi,\pi)$ phase to a magnetically disordered phase with a spin gap. I find that the…

We study a nonequilibrium Ising model that stochastically evolves under the simultaneous operation of several spin-flip mechanisms. In other words, the local magnetic fields change sign randomly with time due to competing kinetics. This…
Continuous phase transitions exhibit richer critical phenomena on the surface than in the bulk, because distinct surface universality classes can be realized at the same bulk critical point by tuning the surface interactions. The…
