Critical Exponents of the 3D Ising Universality Class From Finite Size   Scaling With Standard and Improved Actions
  We propose a method to obtain an improved Hamiltonian (action) for the Ising universality class in three dimensions. The improved Hamiltonian has suppressed leading corrections to scaling. It is obtained by tuning models with two coupling constants. We studied three different models: the +1,-1 Ising model with nearest neighbour and body diagonal interaction, the spin-1 model with states 0,+1,-1, and nearest neighbour interaction, and phi**4-theory on the lattice (Landau-Ginzburg Hamiltonian). The remarkable finite size scaling properties of the suitably tuned spin-1 model are compared in detail with those of the standard Ising model. Great care is taken to estimate the systematic errors from residual corrections to scaling. Our best estimates for the critical exponents are nu= 0.6298(5) and eta= 0.0366(8), where the given error estimates take into account the statistical and systematic uncertainties.
