Xs. Chen et al., COMPARISON BETWEEN FINITE-SIZE FIELD-THEORY AND MONTE-CARLO SIMULATIONS FOR THE 3-DIMENSIONAL ISING-MODEL, Physica. A, 232(1-2), 1996, pp. 375-396
Recent field-theoretic predictions of finite-size effects for various
thermodynamic quantities near the critical point are compared with new
accurate Monte Carlo (MC) data for the L x L x L Ising model obtained
from a cluster-algorithm special-purpose computer. Owing to the large
size (L = 32, 64, 128, 256) of the Ising models, these MC data permit
to test the finite-size field theory in the asymptotic scaling region
above and below T-c. The results constitute the most accurate confirm
ation of finite-size scaling in three dimensions obtained to date in a
wide range of temperatures. Agreement with the predicted shape of the
finite-size scaling functions is found on a quantitative level.
