Popis: We investigate a method to obtain critical exponents using standard numerical simulation techniques for spin systems. We show that by analyzing the inverse of the logarithmic derivative of the susceptibility χ with respect to temperature the accuracy in determining γ can be increased significantly. The method is tested on the two- and three-dimensional Ising models but this alternative approach is thought to be most useful for spin systems on non-periodic structures like quasi-crystals and fractal lattices where the finite size scaling method is difficult to apply.
