Simulating graphene impurities using the worm algorithm

preprint2013arXivOpen access

Abstract

The two-dimensional Ising model is studied by performing computer simulations with one of the Monte Carlo algorithms - the worm algorithm. The critical temperature T_C of the phase transition is calculated by the usage of the critical exponents and the results are compared to the analytical result, giving a very high accuracy. We also show that the magnetic ordering of impurities distributed on a graphene sheet is possible, by simulating the properly constructed model using the worm algorithm. The value of T_C is estimated. Furthermore, the dependence of T_C on the interaction constants is explored. We outline how one can proceed in investigating this relation in the future.
