Critical behavior of a 3D Ising-like system in the higher non-Gaussian approximation: Inclusion of the critical exponent of the correlation function

Abstract

A microscopic description of the critical behavior of systems belonging to the universality class of the three-dimensional (3D) Ising model is developed within the collective variables (CV) approach. The higher non-Gaussian approximation (the sextic distribution for the modes of spin-moment density oscillations or the ρ6 model) is used. A specific feature of the partition function calculation for an Ising-like system is the inclusion of the correction for the potential averaging. This correction leads to the modified recurrence relations (RR) for the ρ6 model and a nonzero critical exponent of the correlation function η. The RR between the coefficients of the effective sextic distributions are written and analyzed. A technique for determining the small critical exponent η is elaborated in the higher non-Gaussian approximation. It is shown that the renormalized critical exponent of the correlation length has a tendency to a reduction in the case when the exponent η is taken into account.
