Finite size scaling by using scaling functions in two-dimensional q = 2 and 7 state Potts models

Abstract

The scaling behaviors of the percolation cumulant and the surface renormalization are studied on q = 2 and 7 state Potts models. The results show that the scaling functions can be safely used to determine infinite lattice transition points and the thermal and magnetic exponents indicating that these functions have very small correction to scaling contributions.
