In extensive Monte Carlo simulations the phase transition of the random field Ising model in three dimensions is investigated. The values of the critical exponents are determined via finite size scaling. For a Gaussian distribution of the…

We study the question of universality in the two-dimensional spin-$1$ Baxter-Wu model in the presence of a crystal field $\Delta$. We employ extensive numerical simulations of two types, providing us with complementary results: Wang-Landau…

We examine a model in which a nonequilibrium phase transition from an active to an extinct state is observed. The order of this phase transition has been shown to be either continuous or first-order, depending on the parameter values and…

Scaling aspects of Gaussian topological phase-transitions in quantum spin chains are investigated using the prototypical one-dimensional spin-1 XXZ Heisenberg model with uniaxial single-ion anisotropy $D$. This model presents a critical…

In this paper, we study the effects of non-local directed Small-World (NLDSW) disorder in the three-state Potts model as a form to capture the essential features shared by real complex systems where non-locality effects play a important…

The density of states of continuous models is known to span many orders of magnitudes at different energies due to the small volume of phase space near the ground state. Consequently, the traditional Wang-Landau sampling which uses the same…

Linked cluster expansions are generalized from an infinite to a finite volume on a $d$-dimensional hypercubic lattice. They are performed to 20th order in the expansion parameter to investigate the phase structure of scalar $O(N)$ models…

Extensions of the standard model that lead to first-order phase transitions in the early universe can produce a stochastic background of gravitational waves, which may be accessible to future detectors. Thermodynamic observables at the…

We have investigated the time-dependent regime of a two-dimensional metamagnetic model at its tricritical point via Monte Carlo simulations. First of all, we obtained the temperature and magnetic field corresponding to the tricritical point…

Large-scale Monte Carlo simulations of the bond-diluted three-dimensional 4-state Potts model are performed. The phase diagram and the physical properties at the phase transitions are studied using finite-size scaling techniques. Evidences…

The critical properties of the spin-1 two-dimensional Blume-Capel model on directed and undi- rected random lattices with quenched connectivity disorder is studied through Monte Carlo simulations. The critical temperature, as well as the…

The appearance of a convex dip in the microcanonical entropy of finite systems usually signals a first order transition. However, a convex dip also shows up in some systems with a continuous transition as for example in the Baxter-Wu model…

We have simulated the three-dimensional Heisenberg model on simple cubic lattices, using the single-cluster Monte Carlo update algorithm. The expected pronounced reduction of critical slowing down at the phase transition is verified. This…

In finite-size scaling analyses of Monte Carlo simulations of second-order phase transitions one often needs an extended temperature/energy range around the critical point. By combining the replica-exchange algorithm with cluster updates…

We have developed a numerical procedure to clarify the critical behavior near a quantum phase transition by analyzing a multi-point correlation function characterizing the ground state. This work presents a successful application of this…

Wang and Landau proposed recently, a simple and flexible non-Boltzmann Monte Carlo method for estimating the density of states, from which the macroscopic properties of a closed system can be calculated. They demonstrated their algorithm by…

Multicanonical molecular dynamics (MD) is a powerful technique for sampling conformations on rugged potential surfaces such as protein. However, it is notoriously difficult to estimate the multicanonical temperature effectively. Wang and…

The finite-size scaling theory for continuous phase transition plays an important role in determining critical point and critical exponents from the size-dependent behaviors of quantities in the thermodynamic limit. For percolation phase…

The coil-globule transition of an isolated polymer has been well established to be a second-order phase transition described by a standard tricritical O(0) field theory. We provide compelling evidence from Monte Carlo simulations in four…

The 1/t Wang-Landau algorithm is analyzed from the viewpoint of execution time and accuracy when it is used in computations of the density of states of a two-dimensional Ising model. We find that the simulation results have a systematic…
