We review results concerning the critical behavior of spin systems at equilibrium. We
consider the Ising and the general O (N)-symmetric universality classes, including the N→ 0 …

Quantum annealers are commercial devices that aim to solve very hard computational
problems, typically those involving spin glasses,. Just as in metallurgic annealing, in which a …

We review the pertinent features of the phase diagram of the zero-field Blume-Capel model,
focusing on the aspects of transition order, finite-size scaling and universality. In particular …

We have simulated, using parallel tempering, the three-dimensional Ising spin glass model
with binary couplings in a helicoidal geometry. The largest lattice (L= 20) has been studied …

We study the phase diagram of the site-diluted Ising model in a wide dilution range, through
Monte Carlo simulations and finite-size scaling techniques. Our results for the critical …

We solve a long-standing puzzle in statistical mechanics of disordered systems. By
performing a<? format?> high-statistics simulation of the D= 3 random-field Ising model at …

Using finite-size scaling techniques we obtain accurate results for critical quantities of the
Ising model and the site percolation, in three dimensions. We pay special attention to …

We study the critical properties of three-dimensional O (N) models, for N= 2, 3, 4.
Parameterizing the leading corrections-to-scaling for the η exponent, we obtain a reliable …

We report a high-precision finite-size scaling study of the critical behavior of the three-
dimensional Ising Edwards-Anderson model (the Ising spin glass). We have thermalized …

Finite-size scaling above the upper critical dimension is a long-standing puzzle in the field of
statistical physics. Even for pure systems various scaling theories have been suggested …
