The critical scaling and universality in the short-time dynamics for spin models on a two-dimensional triangular lattice are investigated by using a Monte Carlo simulation. Emphasis is placed on the dynamic evolutions from fully ordered initial states to show that universal scaling exists...

DC electrical conductivity and elastic moduli of cubic samples made of two kinds of compressed expanded graphite are measured as a function of their apparent density. Different percolation thresholds at which the physical properties under study are found to vanish are determined. The accuracy of...

In this paper, using both analytic methods and Monte Carlo simulations with our triangle cluster algorithm, we illustrate the scaling behavior of two possible 4th-order connected energy cumulants across the well-known second and first-order phase transitions of the Baxter–Wu model under zero...

In critical phenomena, many of the characteristic features encountered in higher dimensions such as scaling, data collapse and associated critical exponents are also present in one dimension. Likewise for systems displaying self-organised criticality. We show that the one-dimensional...

The phase diagram, the thermodynamic and ground-state critical properties of the random-field Ising model defined on the diamond family of hierarchical lattices with arbitrary dimension and scaling factor b=2 is investigated. The continuous Gaussian and the discrete delta-bimodal initial...

The eigenvalue spectra of the transition probability matrix for random walks traversing critically disordered clusters in three different types of percolation problems show that the random walker sees a developing Euclidean signature for short time scales as the local, full-coordination...

The equilibrium tilt angle profile in a cell limited by two concentric cylinders filled with nematic liquid crystals is determined for strong homeotropic anchoring at the surfaces. The anchoring condition is such that the nematic director is perpendicular to the cylinder axes and a radial...

Following Brandt and Ron's suggestion of inverting the renormalization group transformation used in Monte Carlo renormalization, it is shown that efficient computer simulations of the fixed point of the transformation can be carried out on very large systems without critical slowing down. We...

A method is developed to calculate the critical line of two dimensional (2D) anisotropic Ising model including nearest-neighbor interactions. The method is based on the real-space renormalization group (RG) theory with increasing block sizes. The reduced temperatures, Ks (where K=JkBT and J, kB,...

We have studied a model of self-interacting branched polymers on the three-dimensional Sierpinski gasket lattice, in the presence of an attractive impenetrable fractal boundary. Using an exact renoramlization group approach, we have determined the phase diagram boundaries of this model, and its...
