Statistical mechanics of spin models on trivalent graph ensembles

Particle Physics Theory seminar

Statistical mechanics of spin models on trivalent graph ensembles

  • Event time: 2:00pm
  • Event date: 22nd March 2017
  • Speaker: Mike Peardon (Trinity College Dublin)
  • Location: Higgs Centre Seminar Room, Room 4305,

Event details

Monte Carlo calculations of Ising spins coupled to random trivalent graphs are performed to look for ensemble average properties of this model. After outlining the system, the methods needed to perform these computations will be presented and the resulting phase structures described.
