Monte Carlo calculation of critical temperatures

Open mkhorton opened this issue 8 years ago • 2 comments

Is it possible, or is it planned, to support calculation of critical (Curie/Néel) temperatures using SpinW?

Yes, I am working on a classical solver (Self-Consistent Gaussian approximation - SCGA) which can determine some thermodynamic properties of classical systems. I hope to release something in the next few month (might come with SpinW 4.0), however this is not based on Monte Carlo. In general I don't plan to extend much the Monte Carlo code, as there are mature libraries out there (like ALPS). If you are interested in an SpinW-ALPS interface, that is something to discuss! :)

Thanks! I'll take a look at ALPS for now, and will look forward to trying the SCGA solver in the future :)
