A first external code
|
|
=====================
|
|
|
|
.. highlight:: c
|
|
|
|
As a first exercise you can try to write a Monte Carlo code for an Ising chain
|
|
in a magnetic field. Your goal is to write this code as an external project and
|
|
to use the Monte Carlo class provided by TRIQS.
|
|
|
|
Take some time to read the :ref:`Monte Carlo <montecarlo>` chapter, but don't
|
|
read the complete example at the end of the chapter because it is precisely
|
|
what you need to do here. You can check your implementation later.

Ising chain in magnetic field
|
|
-----------------------------
|
|
|
|
Here's the Hamiltonian for the problem of Ising spins in a magnetic field
|
|
|
|
.. math::
|
|
|
|
\mathcal{H} = -J \sum_{i=1}^N \sigma_i \sigma_{i+1} - h \sum_{i=1}^N \sigma_i.
|
|
|
|
The goal is to find the magnetization per spin :math:`m` of the system for
|
|
:math:`J = -1.0`, a magnetic field :math:`h = 0.5` as a function of
|
|
the inverse temperature :math:`\beta`. You can see how the results
|
|
change with the length of the chain :math:`N`.
|
|
|
|
Implementation hints
|
|
--------------------
|
|
|
|
Here are a couple of implementation hints that you might want to follow.
|
|
|
|
* In most Monte Carlo programs there is a *configuration* which is modified
|
|
along the simulation. Take enough time to think how this configuration
|
|
can be efficiently described and implement it in a separate file, say
|
|
:file:`configuration.hpp`. In this example, the configuration is a
|
|
collection of spins that can e.g. be described by a vector of integers.
|
|
+1 would be a spin up and -1 a spin down. If you're worried with memory
|
|
space, you could use a vector of booleans (true for up spins, false for
|
|
down spins).
|
|
|
|
* More to come...

Solution
|
|
--------
|
|
|
|
In the limit :math:`N \rightarrow \infty`, the solution for the magnetization
|
|
is
|
|
|
|
.. math::
|
|
|
|
m = \frac{\sinh(\beta h) + \frac{\sinh(\beta h)\cosh(\beta h)}{\sqrt{\sinh^2(\beta h) + e^{-4\beta J}}}}
|
|
{\cosh(\beta h) + \sqrt{\sinh^2(\beta h) + e^{-4\beta J}}}.
|
|
|
|
Here's a plot of :math:`m` versus :math:`\beta` for different values of :math:`N`:
