Evolution of phase transition in the finite-fugacity extended dimer model

We investigate the evolution of phase transition of the classical fully compact dimer model on the bipartite square lattice with second nearest bonds at finite temperatures. We use the numeric Monte Carlo method with the directed-loop algorithm to simulate the model. Our results show that the order of the phase transition depends on the fugacity of the second nearest bonds. We find that the phase transition reduces from the Kosterlitz-Thouless transition to unconventional high-order phase transitions which feature the coexistence of properties Kosterliz-Thouless transition and the first-order phases transition simultaneously. As the fugacity increases further, phase transition evolves to the first-order phase transition. In addition, our results of dimer-dimer correlation functions and their corresponding structure factor functions computed by us show the evolution of decay correlation for different fugacity.
