The STP XY Model program implements a Monte Carlo simulation of the planar ferromagnet or XY Model of spins on a lattice. The simulation returns the configuration of spins with the option of showing the vortices. The default system is a lattice of linear dimension L = 20 at temperature T = 0.89.
STP XYModel is part of a suite of Open Source Physics programs that model aspects of Statistical and Thermal Physics (STP). The program is distributed as a ready-to-run (compiled) Java archive. Double-clicking the stp_XYModel.jar file will run the program if Java is installed on your computer. Additional programs can be found by searching ComPADRE for Open Source Physics, STP, or Statistical and Thermal Physics.
Please note that this resource requires
at least version 1.5 of Java.

Hi, I am doing the questions of the STP XY model program and I have problems with the susceptibility calculation. I think that this magnitude is not properly calculated. As usual it should be calculated using the fluctuations of magnetization susc =( - **2)/T. From my test, I think the code is dividing by T**2 instead of T and not substracting **2. Although theory says that = 0 for any temperature this is not true for simulations in a finite system. I think one can get better results substracting <|M|>**2.
thanks for your attention and best regards
