Phase transition of XY model in heptagonal lattice

Abstract: We numerically investigate the nature of the phase transition of the XY model in the heptagonal lattice with the negative curvature, in comparison to other interaction structures such as a flat two-dimensional (2D) square lattice and a small-world network. Although the heptagonal lattice has a very short characteristic path length like the small-world network structure, it is revealed via calculation of the Binder's cumulant that the former exhibits a zero-temperature phase transition while the latter has the … Show more

“…5(b), we display the N -dependence of the magnetization at q c . From the slope of the dashed line, which corresponds to the best fit to the data points, we estimate the corresponding value of the critical exponent to β/ν = 0.114 (5). Using these values we proceed to plot M N β/ν against (q − q c )N 1/ν .…”

“…Recently, there has been a growing interest the critical behavior of statistical-physics models on curved surfaces-ranging from spin models, such as the ferromagnetic Ising model [1,2,3,4], the XY model [5,6], the Heisenberg model [7], the q-state clock models [8,9], to other traditional models, such as percolation [10], diffusion [11], etc. One reason for this interest is that many newly discovered soft materials (e.g., carbon nanotubes) show a negatively curved structure in the nanoscale [12].…”

“…Strong boundary effects on the hyperbolic lattices prevent the Monte Carlo (MC) simulations from the accurate analysis of phase transition phenomena on the hyperbolic lattices [20][21][22][23] . The necessity to subtract a couple of boundary site layers were performed to detect the correct bulk properties 24 .…”

“…This argument is based on the fact that a negatively curved surface contains a huge amount of boundary points: that is, for a negatively curved surface, the ratio of surface area to perimeter (which is the * Corresponding author, E-mail: beomjun@skku.edu two-dimensional example of the so-called surface-volume ratio in general dimension) remain nonvanishing even in the large-system limit. Since it was pointed out that a system may have a novel behavior due to the presence of a nonvanishing boundary [7], there have been ongoing studies to clarify this issue [4,6,[8][9][10][11]. While the boundary effects can be sometimes excluded, for example, by using a periodic boundary condition [12] or by mathematical abstractions [5,[13][14][15], it is often crucial to understand how a boundary affects the physical properties since it may give the most important contribution to an observed behavior as will be explained in this work.…”
