This study analyzes self-affine profiles in statistical models to detect phase transitions. The roughness exponent (alpha) effectively identifies transitions in the Potts and clock models, offering a new method for analysis.

Area of Science:

  • Statistical Mechanics
  • Computational Physics
  • Phase Transitions

Background:

  • Self-affine profiles are crucial for understanding complex systems.
  • Characterizing phase transitions typically requires thermodynamic potentials or order parameters.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To numerically investigate self-affine profiles in various statistical models.
  • To determine if profile roughness can detect phase transitions without traditional methods.

Main Methods:

  • Numerical simulation of q-state Potts and p=10 clock models.
  • Analysis of self-affine profile roughness exponent (alpha).
  • Examination of site percolation on a square lattice.

Main Results:

  • Sharp changes in roughness exponent (alpha) indicate phase transitions in the Potts model.
  • The p=10 clock model exhibits flat, intermediate, and rough phases characterized by alpha.
  • Results align with established transition temperatures, validating the profile analysis method.

    • Conclusions:

    • Self-affine profile analysis is a viable method for detecting phase transitions in statistical models.
    • This approach bypasses the need for conventional thermodynamic potentials and order parameters.
    • The roughness exponent (alpha) is robust against geometric critical phenomena.
