The ferromagnetic transition in LiHoF$_4$

ORAL

Abstract

The rare-earth magnetic compound LiHoF$_4$ is considered to be one of the best realizations of a long-range dipolar Ising model. Several experimental studies have been carried out probing the magnetic properties of the material in the context of classical, as well as quantum, phase transitions. In this work we revisit the effective model for the non-dilute material using numerical simulations. We examine the accuracy of the model in relation to experiments and consider the logarithmic corrections derived in renormalization group theory.
