By using a 3-spin spin-glass model with long-range power-law diluted interactions we are able to continuously tune the (effective) space dimension via the exponent of the interactions. Monte Carlo simulations of the spin-glass susceptibility and the two-point finite-size correlation length show that deep in the non-mean-field regime the finite-temperature transition is lost, whereas this is not the case in the mean-field regime, in agreement with the prediction of Moore and Drossel [Phys. Rev. Lett. 89, 217202 (2002)] that 3-spin models are in the same universality class as an Ising spin glass in a magnetic field. However, slightly in the non-mean-field region, we find an apparent transition in the 3-spin model, in contrast to results for the Ising spin glass in a field. This may indicate that even larger sizes are needed to probe the asymptotic behavior in this region.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v2", "updated": "2010-02-17T22:42:49.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "75.50.Lk", "75.40.Mg", "05.50.+q", "64.60.-i" ], "keywords": [ "long-range interactions", "numerical studies", "ising spin glass", "non-mean-field regime", "one-dimensional" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "publisher": "APS", "journal": "Physical Review B", "year": 2010, "month": "Feb", "volume": 81, "number": 6, "pages": "064415" }, "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 8, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2010PhRvB..81f4415L" } } }
