specific heat measurements
by Brian Keith 11 Sep '08

11 Sep '08

Hello, I looked at the alps tutorial pages and it says that the looper code calculates specific heat. I ran the looper code from alps version 1.3.3. I looked at the task.out files and specific heat was not listed anywhere. Am I missing something? -thanks, Brian

Finding the site at a particular set of coordinates
by Miles Stoudenmire 11 Sep '08

11 Sep '08

Hi - I'm trying to write a custom measurement in the classical spin mc code, and I'd like to be able to have the alps lattice library tell me the site that is at a given location relative to another site. More specifically, I'd like to start with pair of sites, indices i and j, then compute the vector v=(r_j-r_i) (this I already know how to do using the coordinates function). Then, I'd like to go to some other site, k, and figure out the index, l, of the site at r_k + v (i.e. I want (r_l-r_k) = (r_j-r_i)). Is there a general way to do this using the alps lattice library or will I have to write special code for the particular lattice that I'm using? Thanks! -- -=Miles Stoudenmire=- miles(a)physics.ucsb.edu miles.stoudenmire(a)gmail.com http://www.crazytheory.com/

Wang-Landau method for qm spin system
by Fritz Koermann 07 Sep '08

07 Sep '08

Hi Matthias, dear alps community, is it possible to use the qmc wang-landau method for the qm Heisenberg model as implemented in alps also in combination with more than nearest-neighbour exchange J (still unfrustrated lattice)?

Wang-Landau method for classical spin system
by Fritz Koermann 04 Sep '08

Dear alps users, is the Wang-Landau method also available within alps for the classical monte carlo package or is it planned to be implemented?

Dear Matthias Troyer and Synge Todo, I'm sorry for the late response but I was away from my computer several days! Thank's for your help!! I increased the number of SWEEPS and I have finally found the square root behaviour of the error bars as a function of the number of SWEEPS. I imagine (I didn't had time to check yet) the method of estimation of the error bars makes an underestimation of the variance. Thanks again for your time João Lopes

First alps trials
by João Manuel Viana Parente Lopes 28 Aug '08

28 Aug '08

Dear colleagues, I'm making my first experiments with Alps... I was comparing the average energy for small temperatures (T~ 0.01, J = 1) in the 1D Heisenberg model with the exact solution for small open linear chains using the loop program with de SSE representation. I notice that I can not decrease the error bars by the increase of the numbers of SWEEPS! How can I decrease the error bars? Thanks in advance João Lopes PS: A sugestion: It would be very helpful if we could do a search in the mailing list Maybe this link could help: http://wiki.list.org/display/DOC/How+do+I +make+the+archives+searchable

Correlation function and complex lattices
by sadegh raeisi 25 Aug '08

25 Aug '08

Dear all, I have defined a graphlattice which has 2 particles on each site. In other words the unit cell includes 2 vertices. But I encountered a problem using this lattice. the problems is about the correlation functions. For instance, when I want to calculate the <SzSz> correlation function( MEASURE_CORRELATIONS[Diagonal spin correlations]=Sz ) it seems that ALPS calculates the corresponding function between sites of the lattice instead of particles(vertices) on a sites. Also there is noway to calculate the correlation functons between particles on one site. I will be grateful if any one can help me. Best regards S.

Ising/Potts-like Heisenberg simulation
by Fritz Koermann 23 Aug '08

23 Aug '08

Hi, is it possible to define a kind of 'Ising-type' or Potts-like model for the 3D Heisenberg MC simulation as in PRB 72,134426, where the unit vectors are restricted to lie on a cone defined by a discrete spin-z-component Sz=-S,...+S? For S=1/2 this would correspond to the usual Ising model. Is it possible to define therefor a spin number, lets say S, so that the z-component is restricted to have a value between -S and +S where the x- and y-components are still chosen randomly? Best and thanks for the great support!
