Example 1 : para/ferromagnetic phase transition
Fromhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnetic_domain
Spontaneous magnetization vanishes above some critical temperature, which depends on material.

What happens at non-zero temperature ? Does M remain equal to zero or does it vanish as soon as T>0 ?
Answer : depends on space dimension (Peierls, 1936 ; Onsager, 1944)

Two types of behavior :
Magnetization fluctuates around 0Weak memory of initial condition
T < Tc
Magnetizaton fluctuates around +m(T) and -m(T)Memory of initial condition (up to T-dependent time)
A bit of phenomenology …Monte Carlo simulation of the Ising model in D=2 dimensions

From a « static » point of view:
● For any temperature T>0 and finite system size N, the overall magnetization is zero (as found in numerical simulations)
● One can break the spin reversal symmetry with a weak field h :
The previous calculation gives :
Therefore
What about ?

T > Tc
The magnetization m vanishes on average but there exists a local order:
T < Tc
From a mathematical point of view, the correlation length is now defined through :
Correlations between spins :
The correlation length ξ is the typical size of the + or - domains ; It increases as the temperature decreases.
The magnetization m is different from zero, e.g. m>0. There appear smalldomains of - spins in the + phase : Their size is ξ ; it decreases as the temperature decreases.
Question : How does ξ behave as a function of temperature in D=1 ? You'll know after the break...

Critical exponents:
Characterize the behaviour of the properties of the system (observables ) at, or close to the critical temperature.

● Specific heat and α :
NB : The specific heat is proportional to the variance of the energy (fluctuation-dissipation theorem), hence the energy has large fluctuations at the critical point

Why are critical exponents interesting at all ?
They do not depend on the details of the model. For instance :
Ising model in D=2square lattice
Tc
α,β,γ,δ,η,ν
Ising model in D=2triangular lattice
Tc
α,β,γ,δ,η,ν≠=
Consequence : The exponents of the real physical systems are identical to the ones of the theoretical models !

A few questions :
● Why are there identities linking critical exponents ? How many critical exponents are independent ?
● Why are critical exponents universal ?
● How can critical exponent be calculated in practice ?
