What is finite size scaling?
The theory of Finite Size Scaling describes a build-up of the bulk properties when a small system is increased in size. This description is particularly important in strongly correlated systems where critical fluctuations develop with increasing system size, including phase transition points, polymer conformations.
What are finite size effects?
When studying any macroscopic system with a very large number of degrees of freedom, invariably make an approximation and simulate a smaller and/or discretized model system. This introduces systematic errors called finite size effects.
What is effect size physics?
The so-called quantum size effect describes the physics of electron properties in solids with great reductions in particle size. This effect does not come into play by going from macro to micro dimensions. However, it becomes dominant when the nanometer size range is reached.
What is finite-size scaling?
Finite-size scaling, as formulated by Fisher [1] and by Fisher and Barber (paper 1.1) concerns itself with the manner in which this rounding or crossover occurs. In this introduction we shall limit ourselves to a brief review of this theory.

What is the scaling of phase transitions?
Scaling is an important feature of phase transitions In fluids, • A single (universal) curve is found plotting T/T c vs. ρ/ρ c . • βA fit to curve reveals that ρ c ~ |t| (β=0.33). – with reduced temperature|t| =|(T-T c )/T c | – For percolation phenomena, |t| à |p|=|(p-p c )/p c
