Classical-to-critical crossovers from field theory.
We extend our previous determinations of nonasymptotic critical behavior of Phys. Rev. B 32, 7209 (1985) and 35, 3585 (1987) to accurate expressions of the complete classical-to-critical crossover (in three-dimensional field theory) in terms of the temperaturelike scaling field (i.e., along the critical isochore) for (1) the correlation length, the susceptibility, and the specific heat in the homogeneous phase for the n-vector model (n=1 to 3) and (2) the spontaneous magnetization (coexistence curve), the susceptibility, and the specific heat in the inhomogeneous phase for the Ising model (n=1). The present calculations include the seventh-loop order of Murray and Nickel and closely account for the up-to-date estimates of universal asymptotic critical quantities (exponents and amplitude combinations) provided by Guida and Zinn-Justin [J. Phys. A 31, 8103 (1998)].
