Critical finite-size-scaling amplitudes of a fully anisotropic three-dimensional Ising model

Abstract

A fully anisotropic simple-cubic Ising lattice in the geometry of periodic cylinders n\ifmmode\times\else\texttimes\fi{}n\ifmmode\times\else\texttimes\fi{}\ensuremath{\infty} is investigated by the transfer-matrix finite-size-scaling method. In addition to the previously obtained critical amplitudes of the inverse correlation lengths and singular part of the free energy [M. A. Yurishchev, Phys. Rev. B 50, 13 533 (1994)], the amplitudes of the usual (``linear'') and nonlinear susceptibilities and the amplitude of the second derivative of the spin-spin inverse correlation length with respect to the external field are calculated. The behavior of critical amplitude combinations (which, in accordance with the Privman-Fisher equations, do not contain in their composition the nonuniversal metric coefficients and geometry prefactor) are studied as a function of the interaction anisotropy parameters. A universality domain for the amplitude ratios is found in the quasi-one-dimensional regime of interactions in the system. In the case of a fully isotropic three-dimensional Ising model for which the high precision values of the critical coupling and critical-point free energy are available, improved estimates are obtained for the following four universal quantities: (1) the amplitude of spin-spin inverse correlation length, (2) the amplitude of singular part of the free energy, (3) the ratio of the amplitude of a second derivative of the spin-spin inverse correlation length with respect to the external field to the usual susceptibility amplitude, and (4) the ratio of the nonlinear susceptibility amplitude to the square of the linear susceptibility amplitude (i.e., for the finite-size counterpart of the four-point renormalized coupling constant).
