Revisiting "swings" in the crossover features of Ising thin films near Tc(D)
Abstract
"Swing" effects at the onset of crossover towards two dimensional behavior in thin Ising films are investigated close to Tc(D) by means of Monte Carlo calculations. We find that the effect is extremely large for the specific heat effective critical exponent, in comparison with the "swing" already noted by Capehart and Fisher for the susceptibility. These effects change considerably the system's evolution with thickness (D) from two-dimensional to three-dimensional behavior, forcing the effective exponents to pass near characteristic Tri Critical Point (TCP) values.
