Abstract

The exact partition function of the two-dimensional nearest neighbour Ising model pertaining to square lattices is derived for N sites in the case of a non-vanishing magnetic field.When the magnetic field is zero,the partition functions estimated from the present analysis are identical with those arising from Onsager's exact solution.

Estimation of the partition functions of two-dimensional nearest neighbour Ising models

M.V. Sangaranarayanan

Employing the exact solution of Onsager for two-dimensional Ising models, simple expressions are proposed for computing the partition function, magnetization, specific heat and susceptibility for non-zero magnetic fields of square lattices. The partition function in zero fields is also estimated and excellent agreement with the values arising from the exact solution of Onsager is demonstrated.

Partition Function for Two-Dimensional Nearest Neighbour Ising Model in a Non-Zero Magnetic Field for a Square Lattice of 16 Sites

G. Nandhini, M.V. Sangaranarayanan

An explicit expression for the partition function of two-dimensional nearest neighbour Ising models in the presence of a magnetic field is derived by a systematic enumeration of all the spin configurations pertaining to a square lattice of sixteen sites. The critical temperature is shown to be in excellent agreement with the reported values while the corresponding dimensionless magnetic field is obtained as 0.004.

Partition function and magnetization of two-dimensional Ising models in non-zero magnetic field: A semi-empirical approach

M V Vismaya, M.V. Sangaranarayanan

The partition functions of ferromagnetic Ising models of square lattices in a finite magnetic field is deduced using topological considerations within a heuristic graph-theoretical approach. These equations are derived separately for low and high temperature regimes while the exact solution of Onsager is obtained therefrom when the magnetic field is zero. The derived partition function equations here are almost similar to those given by Onsager, thus indicating a straight-forward protocol, even when the magnetic field is present. The spontaneous magnetization derived here using the Helmholtz free energy is identical with that arising from the exact solution. The partition functions lead to the known series expansions of the magnetization and zero-field susceptibility.

The partition functions for two-dimensional nearest neighbour Ising model in a non-zero magnetic field have been derived for finite square lattices with the help of graph theoretical procedures, show-bit algorithm, enumeration of configurations and transfer matrix methods. A new recurrence relation valid for all lattice sizes is proposed. A novel method of computing the critical temperature has been demonstrated. The magnetization and susceptibility for infinite lattices in the presence of magnetic field is estimated. The critical exponent δ pertaining to the magnetization has also been computed.
