Abstract

A highly efficient Monte Carlo method for the calculation of the density of states of classical spin systems is presented. As an application, we investigate the density of statesΩN(E, M)of two- and three-dimensional Ising models withNspins as a function of energyEand magnetizationM. For a fixed energy lower than a critical valueEc,Nthe density of states exhibits two sharp maxima atM = ± Msp(E)which define the microcanonical spontaneous magnetization. An analysis of the formMsp(E) ∝ (Ec, ∞- E)βεyields very good results for the critical exponent βε, thus demonstrating that critical exponents can be determined by analyzing directly the density of states of finite systems.
