Critical exponents in Monte Carlo simulations

Click For Summary
Determining the critical exponent α in Monte Carlo simulations of classical spin systems can be challenging, particularly when using the relationships M ∝ L^(-β/ν), χ ∝ L^(γ/ν), and CV ∝ L^(α/ν). The slope of the curve ln CV versus ln L is expected to yield α/ν, but difficulties arise in extracting α from existing tables for the 2D and 3D Ising models. The relation 2 - α = dν, where d is the lattice dimension, adds complexity to the calculations. Alternative methods for calculating critical exponents in simulations may exist, and further insights or suggestions from the community could be beneficial. Understanding these relationships is crucial for accurate Monte Carlo simulations.

In Monte Carlo simulation of classical spin systems I have a trouble to determine critical exponent ##\alpha##.
##M \propto L^{-\frac{\beta}{\nu}} ##
## \chi \propto L^{\frac{\gamma}{\nu}} ##
## C_V \propto L^{\frac{\alpha}{\nu}} ##
Is this correct? From that slope of the curve ##\ln Cv## as a function of ##\ln L## determines ##\frac{\alpha}{\nu}##. There is relation ##2-\alpha=d\nu ##, where ##d## is dimension of the lattice. What is a problem with determining ##\alpha##? I didn't get exponent ##\alpha## from the table for ##2d## and ##3d## Ising model.

Maybe there is some different way for calculating critical exponents in simulation. If you know that another way please tell me. Tnx.
