E. Nogueira et al., Multifractal properties of aperiodic Ising model on hierarchical lattices:role of the geometric fluctuations, EUR PHY J B, 23(3), 2001, pp. 373-382
The role of the geometric fluctuations on the multifractal properties of th
e local magnetization of aperiodic ferromagnetic Ising models on hierarchic
al lattices is investigated. The geometric fluctuations are introduced by g
eneralized Fibonacci sequences. The local magnetization is evaluated via an
exact recurrent procedure encompassing real space renormalization group de
cimation. The symmetries of the local magnetization patterns induced by the
aperiodic couplings is found to be strongly (weakly) different, with respe
ct to the ones of the corresponding homogeneous systems, when the geometric
fluctuations are relevant (irrelevant) to change the critical properties o
f the system. At the criticality, the measure defined by the local magnetiz
ation is found to exhibit a non-trivial F(alpha) spectra being shifted to h
igher values of alpha when relevant geometric fluctuations are considered.
The critical exponents are found to be related with some special points of
the F(alpha) function and agree with previous results obtained by the quite
distinct transfer matrix approach.
