Abstract
The critical behavior of a class of Hamiltonians, of which the Baxter Hamiltonian is a special case, is investigated. The specific heat of finite systems is evaluated using a Monte Carlo method, and critical properties are deduced by means of finite-size scaling theory. Our results confirm the theoretically predicted crossover behavior.Keywords
