| Size dependence of the internal energy in Ising and vector spin glasses (2003) | |||||||||
Abstract | |||||||||
| We study numerically the scaling correction to the internal energy per spin as a function of system size and temperature in a variety of Ising and vector spin glasses. From a standard scaling analysis we estimate the effective size correction exponent x at each temperature. For each system with a finite ordering temperature, as temperature is increased from zero, x initially decreases regularly until it goes through a minimum at a temperature close to the critical temperature, and then increases strongly. The behavior of the exponent x at and below the critical temperature is more complex than suggested by the model for the size correction that relates x to the domain-wall stiffness exponent..
