Field crossover exponent

ID: field-crossover-exponent

The field crossover exponent describes the field scale at which the zero-field critical regime changes. In the two-variable scaling hypothesis for critical phenomena, its value is the ratio of magnetic and thermal scaling dimensions. It is distinct from either or the scaling dimension of the order parameter. The Widom scaling relation and differentiation of the homogeneous free-energy density give the displayed identities when ordinary scaling applies.
