Numerisk uppskattning av kritiska exponenter i 3D XY-modelen (Swedish)
Abstract [en]

The experimentally obtained value of the critical exponent ν is presently in significant disagreement with current theoretical predictions for the λ-universality class. We suggest two novel approaches of determining the exponents ν and η by utilizing the effects of finite size scaling. The numerical computations are performed using Monte Carlo simulations of a 3D XY model, realized on a bc-lattice. Different sizes of systems are then either compared in pairs (pairwise fit) or all together (joint fit), in order to fit the correct value of the critical exponents to our sampled data. We find for the pairwise fitting procedure that ν = 0.6731(36) and η = 0.0351(39). Likewise, the joint fitting procedure yields ν = 0.6727(58) and η = 0.0349(49). The predictions for ν are very consistent with existing works, while the values for η are somewhat lower than expected from existing literature results.

Abstract [sv]

Det experimentella värdet av den kritiska exponenten, ν, skiljer sig för närvarande från de teoretiska uppskattningarna som gjorts för λ-universalitetsklassen. Vi föreslår två nya metoder för att bestämma exponenterna ν och η, genom att använda effekterna från ändlig storleksskalning. De numeriska beräkningarna utförs med hjälp av Monte Carlo simulering av en tredimensionell XY-modell, realiserad på ett kubiskt gitter. Olika sys- temstorlekar jämförs sedan antingen parvis eller gemensamt, för att kunna anpassa värdet på de kritiska exponenterna till data. Vi erhåller ν = 0.6731(36) och η = 0.0351(39), för parvis anpassning, samt ν = 0.6727(58) and η = 0.0349(49) för gemensam anpassning. Det beräknade värdet på ν stämmer bra överens med andra arbeten, medan värdena på η är något lägre än förväntat från tidigare uppskattningar.
