The obtained scaling functions for d=2 and d=3 are in good agreement with numerical results: it signifies the absence of essential contradictions with the Vollhardt and Woelfle theory on the level of raw data. The results \\nu=1.3-1.6, usually obtained at d=3 for the critical exponent of the correlation length, are explained by the fact that dependence L+L_0 with L_0>0 (L is the transversal size of the system) is interpreted as L^{1/\\nu} with \\nu>1. For dimensions d\\ge 4, the modified scaling relations are derived; it demonstrates incorrectness of the conventional treatment of data for d=4 and d=5, but establishes the constructive procedure for such a treatment. Consequences for other variants of finite-size scaling are discussed.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v2", "updated": "2011-07-09T00:48:18.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "self-consistent theory", "finite-size scaling", "localization", "auxiliary quasi-1d systems", "d-dimensional case" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "doi": "10.1134/S1063776111150131", "journal": "Soviet Journal of Experimental and Theoretical Physics", "year": 2012, "month": "Jan", "volume": 114, "number": 1, "pages": 107 }, "note": { "typesetting": "LaTeX", "pages": 23, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2012JETP..114..107S" } } }
