The q-Dependent Susceptibility of Quasiperiodic Ising Models By Helen Au-Yang andJacques H.H. Perk Supported by NSF Grant PHY 01-00041
Outline • Introduction: • Quasicrystals: • q-Dependent Susceptibility: • Regular lattice with Quasi-periodic interactions : • Quasi-Periodic Sequences – Aperiodic Ising lattices. • Quasi-periodicity in the lattice structure: • Pentagrid–Penrose tiles • Results
In 1984, Shechtman et al. found five-fold symmetry in the diffraction pattern of some alloys. As such symmetry is incompatible with periodicity, their crystalline structure must be aperiodic.* The q-Dependent Susceptibility is defined as*** Quasicrystals Diffraction Pattern: Structure Function = Fourier Transform of the density- density correlation functions** the Fourier transform of the connected pair correlation function.
The Lattice of Z-invariant Ising model • The rapidity lines on the medial graph are represented by oriented dashed lines. • The positions of the spins are indicated by small black circles, the positions of the dual spins by white circles. Each spin takes two values, =1.* • The interactions are only between the black spins, and are function of the two rapidities line sandwiched between them. • Boltzmann weight P=e K’is the probability for the pair.**
Quasiperiodic sequences: Quasi-periodic Ising model: un = uA if pj(n)=0, and un = uB if the pj(n)=1. Knm=K if pj(n)=0, and Knm=-K if pj(n)=1
Regular Pentagrid The pentagrid is a superposition of 5 grids, each of which consists of parallel equidistanced lines.1 These grid lines are the five different kinds of rapidity lines in a Z-invariant Ising model.2
Penrose Tiles Each line in the jth grid is given by (for some integer kj) Mapping that turns the pentagrid into Penrose Tiles:
Shifts Shift: 0+1+2 +3 +4=0* The index of a Mesh: j Kj(z)=1, 2, 3, 4. Odd sites = index 1,3 Even sites = index 2,4.** Penrose showed these tiles fill the whole plane aperiodically. Shift: 0+1+2 +3 +4= c j Kj(z)=1, 2, 3, 4, 5 : No simple matching rules
Half of the sites of a Penrose tiling interact as indicated by the lines. The other sites play no role.
Results: Regular latticesFerromagnetic Interactions • The q-dependent susceptibilities (q) of the models, on regular lattices, are always periodic. • When the interactions between spins are quasi-periodic, but ferromagnetic, (q) has only commensurate peaks, similar to the behavior of regular Ising models. • The intensity of the peaks depend on temperature, and increases as T approaches Tc.
Mixed Interactions:Ferro & Anti-ferromagnetic • The susceptibilities (q) is periodic and has everywhere dense incommensurate peaks in every unit cell, when both ferro and anti-ferromagnetic interactions are present. • These peaks are not all visible when the temperature is far away from the critical temperature Tc. The number of visible peaks increases as TTc. • For T above Tc, (the disorder state), the number of peaks are more dense*. • Structure function are different for different aperiodic sequences.

Quasiperiodic LatticePentagrid-Penrose Tiles • When the lattice is quasiperiodic --- such as Z-invariant Ising model on the Penrose tiles --- (q) is no longer periodic but quasiperiodic. • Even if interactions between spins are regular and ferromagnetic, (q) exhibits everywhere dense and incommensurate peaks. • These peaks are not all visible when the temperature is far away from the critical temperature. The number of visible peaks increases as T approaches the critical temperature Tc. • For T above Tc,, when the system is in the disordered state, there are more peaks.
