We analyze the critical properties of the three-dimensional Ising model with linear parallel extended defects. Such a form of disorder produces two distinct correlation lengths, a parallel correlation length $xi_parallel$ in the direction along defects, and a perpendicular correlation length $xi_perp$ in the direction perpendicular to the lines. Both $xi_parallel$ and $xi_perp$ diverge algebraically in the vicinity of the critical point, but the corresponding critical exponents $ u_parallel$ and $ u_perp$ take different values. This property is specific for anisotropic scaling and the ratio $ u_parallel/ u_perp$ defines the anisotropy exponent $theta$. Estimates of quantitative characteristics of the critical behaviour for such systems were only obtained up to now within the renormalization group approach. We report a study of the anisotropic scaling in this system via Monte Carlo simulation of the three-dimensional system with Ising spins and non-magnetic impurities arranged into randomly distributed parallel lines. Several independent estimates for the anisotropy exponent $theta$ of the system are obtained, as well as an estimate of the susceptibility exponent $gamma$. Our results corroborate the renormalization group predictions obtained earlier.

Effective Casimir forces induced by thermal fluctuations in the vicinity of bulk critical points are studied by means of Monte Carlo simulations in three-dimensional systems for film geometries and within the experimentally relevant Ising and XY univ ersality classes. Several surface universality classes of the confining surfaces are considered, some of which are relevant for recent experiments. A novel approach introduced previously EPL 80, 60009 (2007), based inter alia on an integration scheme of free energy differences, is utilized to compute the universal scaling functions of the critical Casimir forces in the critical range of temperatures above and below the bulk critical temperature. The resulting predictions are compared with corresponding experimental data for wetting films of fluids and with available theoretical results.
We present Monte Carlo (MC) simulation studies of phase separation in binary (AB) mixtures with bond-disorder that is introduced in two different ways: (i) at randomly selected lattice sites and (ii) at regularly selected sites. The Ising model with spin exchange (Kawasaki) dynamics represents the segregation kinetics in conserved binary mixtures. We find that the dynamical scaling changes significantly by varying the number of disordered sites in the case where bond-disorder is introduced at the randomly selected sites. On the other hand, when we introduce the bond-disorder in a regular fashion, the system follows the dynamical scaling for the modest number of disordered sites. For higher number of disordered sites, the evolution morphology illustrates a lamellar pattern formation. Our MC results are consistent with the Lifshitz-Slyozov (LS) power-law growth in all the cases.

We describe a Monte Carlo procedure which allows sampling of the disjoint configuration spaces associated with crystalline and fluid phases, within a single simulation. The method utilises biased sampling techniques to enhance the probabilities of ga teway states (in each phase) which are such that a global switch (to the other phase) can be implemented. Equilibrium freezing-point parameters can be determined directly; statistical uncertainties prescribed transparently; and finite-size effects quantified systematically. The method is potentially quite general; we apply it to the freezing of hard spheres.

Systems of particles in a confining potential exhibit a spatially dependent density which fundamentally alters the nature of phase transitions that occur. A specific instance of this situation, which is being extensively explored currently, concerns the properties of ultra-cold, optically trapped atoms. Of interest is how the superfluid-insulator transition is modified by the inhomogeneity, and, indeed, the extent to which a sharp transition survives at all. This paper explores a classical analog of these systems, the Blume-Capel model with a spatially varying single ion anisotropy and/or temperature gradient. We present results both for the nature of the critical properties and for the validity of the local density approximation which is often used to model the inhomogeneous case. We compare situations when the underlying uniform transition is first and second order.

By considering the appropriate finite-size effect, we explain the connection between Monte Carlo simulations of two-dimensional anisotropic Heisenberg antiferromagnet in a field and the early renormalization group calculation for the bicritical point in $2+epsilon$ dimensions. We found that the long length scale physics of the Monte Carlo simulations is indeed captured by the anisotropic nonlinear $sigma$ model. Our Monte Carlo data and analysis confirm that the bicritical point in two dimensions is Heisenberg-like and occurs at T=0, therefore the uncertainty in the phase diagram of this model is removed.
