Fractal dimension of 3D Ising droplets

  • Published:
Zeitschrift für Physik B Condensed Matter

Abstract

At the critical point of the simple cubic Ising model, the radius of Coniglio-Klein clusters containings sites each is found by Monte Carlo simulation to be roughly 0.54s 0.4, consistent with the theoretically expected fractal dimension 2.5.
