Monte Carlo study of the droplet formation-dissolution transition on different two-dimensional lattices. Abstract Text:

In 2003 Biskup [Commun. Math. Phys. 242, 137 (2003)] gave a rigorous proof for the behavior of equilibrium droplets in the two-dimensional (2D) spin-1/2 Ising model (or, equivalently, a lattice gas of particles) on a finite square lattice of volume V with a given excess delta M identical with M-M 0 of magnetization compared to the spontaneous magnetization M 0=m0V . By identifying a dimensionless parameter Delta(delta M) and a universal constant Delta c , they showed in the limit of large system sizes that for DeltaDelta c a droplet of the minority phase occurs ("condensed" system). By minimizing the free energy of the system, they derived an explicit formula for the fraction lambda(Delta) of excess magnetization forming the droplet. To check the applicability of the asymptotic analytical results to much smaller, practically accessible, system sizes, we performed several Monte Carlo simulations of the 2D Ising model with nearest-neighbor couplings on a square lattice at fixed magnetization M . Thereby, we measured the largest minority droplet, corresponding to the condensed phase in the lattice-gas interpretation, at various system sizes (L=40,80,...,640) . With analytical values for the spontaneous magnetization density m 0 , the susceptibility chi , and the Wulff interfacial free energy density tau W for the infinite system, we were able to determine lambda numerically in very good agreement with the theoretical prediction. Furthermore, we did simulations for the spin-1/2 Ising model on a triangular lattice and with next-nearest-neighbor couplings on a square lattice. Again finding a very good agreement with the analytic formula, we demonstrate the universal aspects of the theory with respect to the underlying lattice and type of interaction. For the case of the next-nearest-neighbor model, where tau W is unknown analytically, we present different methods to obtain it numerically by fitting to the distribution of the magnetization density P(m) .
