Based on the results published recently [SciPost Phys. 7, 026 (2019)], the influence of surfaces and boundary fields are calculated for the ferromagnetic anisotropic square lattice Ising model on finite lattices as well as in the finite-size scaling limit. Starting with the open cylinder, we independently apply boundary fields on both sides which can be either homogeneous or staggered, representing different combinations of boundary conditions. We confirm several predictions from scaling theory, conformal field theory and renormalisation group theory: we explicitly show that anisotropic couplings enter the scaling functions through a generalised aspect ratio, and demonstrate that open and staggered boundary conditions are asymptotically equal in the scaling regime. Furthermore, we examine the emergence of the surface tension due to one antiperiodic boundary in the system in the presence of symmetry breaking boundary fields, again for finite systems as well as in the scaling limit. Finally, we extend our results to the antiferromagnetic Ising model.

We show that for two-dimensional square Ising systems unphysical frozen states are obtained by just changing the instant of application of periodic boundary conditions during Monte Carlo simulations. The strange behavior is observed up to sample sizes currently used in literature. The anomalous results appear to be associated to the simultaneous use of type writer updating algorithms; they disappear when random access routines are implemented.

AbstractThis paper explains the Random Field Ising Model simulations of a two-dimensional ferromagnetic/antiferromagnetic interface, influenced by the exchange-bias interaction. Exchange-biased shifts, coercivity fields, the number of unreversed spins as well as the numerical errors are provided. These were tested for different structure dimensions and boundary conditions in order to find limitations of the method. The algorithm developed is simple, very effective, and provides deeper insight into the nature of the exchange-bias phenomenon.

We present detailed calculations for the partition function and the free energy of the finite two-dimensional square lattice Ising model with periodic and antiperiodic boundary conditions, variable aspect ratio, and anisotropic couplings, as well as for the corresponding universal free energy finite-size scaling functions. Therefore, we review the dimer mapping, as well as the interplay between its topology and the different types of boundary conditions. As a central result, we show how both the finite system as well as the scaling form decay into contributions for the bulk, a characteristic finite-size part, and – if present – the surface tension, which emerges due to at least one antiperiodic boundary in the system. For the scaling limit we extend the proper finite-size scaling theory to the anisotropic case and show how this anisotropy can be absorbed into suitable scaling variables.
