Novel Monte Carlo method to calculate the central charge and critical exponents
Paul J. M. Bastiaansen, Hubert J. F. Knops
A typical problem with Monte Carlo simulations in statistical physics is that they do not allow for a direct calculation of the free energy. For systems at criticality, this means…
Percolation mechanism for Colossal Magnetoresistance
Paul J. M. Bastiaansen, Hubert J. F. Knops
We argue that colossal magnetoresistance is a critical phenomenon and propose a mechanism to describe it. The mechanism relies on the halfmetallic behavior of the materials showing…
Correlated percolation and the correlated resistor network
Paul J. M. Bastiaansen, Hubert J. F. Knops
We present some exact results on percolation properties of the Ising model, when the range of the percolating bonds is larger than nearest-neighbors. We show that for a percolation…
Is surface melting a surface phase transition?
Paul J. M. Bastiaansen, Hubert J. F. Knops
Monte Carlo or Molecular Dynamics calculations of surfaces of Lennard-Jones systems often indicate, apart from a gradual disordering of the surface called surface melting, the pres…
Roughening and preroughening in the six vertex model with an extended range of interaction
Paul J. M. Bastiaansen, Hubert J. F. Knops
We study the phase diagram of the BCSOS model with an extended interaction range using transfer matrix techniques, pertaining to the (100) surface of single component fcc and bcc c…
