Critical exponents of the two-layer Ising model

Abstract

The symmetric two-layer Ising model (TLIM) is studied by the corner transfer matrix renormalisation group method. The critical points and critical exponents are calculated. It is found that the TLIM belongs to the same universality class as the Ising model. The shift exponent is calculated to be 1.773, which is consistent with the theoretical prediction 1.75 with 1.3% deviation.
