Three-dimensional randomly dilute Ising model: Monte Carlo results.

We perform a high-statistics simulation of the three-dimensional randomly dilute Ising model on cubic lattices L3 with L< or =256. We choose a particular value of the density, x=0.8, for which the leading scaling corrections are suppressed. We determine the critical exponents, obtaining nu=0.683(3), eta=0.035(2), beta=0.3535(17), and alpha=-0.049(9), in agreement with previous numerical simulations. We also estimate numerically the fixed-point values of the four-point zero-momentum couplings that are used in field-theoretical fixed-dimension studies. Although these results somewhat differ from those obtained using perturbative field theory, the field-theoretical estimates of the critical exponents do not change significantly if the Monte Carlo result for the fixed point is used. Finally, we determine the six-point zero-momentum couplings, relevant for the small-magnetization expansion of the equation of state, and the invariant amplitude ratio R(+)(xi) that expresses the universality of the free-energy density per correlation volume. We find R(+)(xi)=0.2885(15).

Dynamic structure factor of the three-dimensional Ising model with purely relaxational dynamics.

We compute the dynamic structure factor for the three-dimensional Ising model with a purely relaxational dynamics (model A). We perform a perturbative calculation in the epsilon expansion, at two loops in the high-temperature phase and at one loop in the temperature magnetic-field plane, and a Monte Carlo simulation in the high-temperature phase. We find that the dynamic structure factor is very well approximated by its mean-field Gaussian form up to moderately large values of frequency omega and momentum k. In the region we can investigate, k(xi) less than or equal 5, omega(tau) less than or equal 10, where xi is the correlation length and tau is the zero-momentum autocorrelation time, deviations are at most of a few percent.

Critical structure factor in using systems.

We perform a large-scale Monte Carlo simulation of the three-dimensional Ising model on simple cubic lattices of size L(3) with L=128 and 256. We determine the corresponding structure factor (Fourier transform of the two-point function) and compare it with several approximations and with experimental results. We also compute the turbidity as a function of the momentum of the incoming radiation, focusing in particular on the deviations from the Ornstein-Zernike expression of Puglielli and Ford.
