Abstract

The Ising model on an alternating triangular lattice with the nearest-neighbor interaction in a magnetic field is presented. Exact solution of this model is found. The thermodynamic quantities, like free energy, specific heat a finite temperature and function correlaction, are calculated by treatment based on the transfer matrix method. Our results show that the model proposed does not have phase transition to a finite temperature, but the curve of specific heat presented a Schottky anomaly.

Investigation of Two-Dimensional Triangular Ising Lattice in the Absence and Presence of a Magnetic Field

S. Ranjbar

An example of a two-dimensional crystal in which each lattice point interacts with six neighbors is the so-called \triangular Ising lattice. In this work the transfer matrix method is used to nd the thermodynamic properties of the triangular Ising model with a limited number of rows, in the absence or presence of a magnetic eld. In the absence of a magnetic eld the results have been used to nd an analytical expression for the partition function of a model with any number of rows, from which the thermodynamic properties of the triangular planar lattice model are obtained as a polynomial in terms of x = e 2j tanh 2j=2 cosh2j, where J = jkT is the interaction energy of the two nearest neighbor spins. The degree of the polynomial depends on the number of rows in the model. The results are compared with the exact values. The calculated free energy is found to be very accurate, but the calculated internal energy and heat capacity show some small deviations from the exact values. In the presence of a magnetic eld the solution to the matrices is too complicated for a general analytical expression to be proposed for a model with any number of rows. However, our exact solution for the model with n = 4, 5, and 7 reveals an important point: that such results are independent of n when the eld-spin interaction energy is almost equal to or larger than that of the spin-spin interaction.

One-dimensional ising model with next-nearest-neighbour interaction in magnetic field

F. A, Kassan-ogly

The exact solution for the one-dimensional Ising model with nearest-neighbour and next-nearest-neighbour interactions in an external magnetic field is obtained within the framework of the Kramers-Wannier transfer matrix. The explicit analytical expressions for thermodynamic quantities such as magnetization, magnetic susceptibility and specific heat are derived and analyzed at length as functions of temperature, magnetic field, and the signs and values of the interaction parameters.

Thermodynamics of a Mixed Spin Ising Chain

T. Kaneyoshi

The exact solutions of the spin-spin correlation functions, the internal energy and the specific heat in a mixed spin Ising chain made up of two kinds of alternating magnetic atoms, namely spin-1/2 atoms and spin-S (S > 1/2) atoms with a crystal-field interaction constant D, are derived by the use of Ising spin identities and a differential operator technique. These solutions are valid for arbitrary values of S and D. Some numerical results are given for the specific heat. We find that the results exhibit characteristic behavior which does not follow the Schottky-type when the value of D becomes smaller than a (negative) critical value.

Exact Solution and Correlation Functions of Generalized Double Ising Chains

Pavel Khrapov, Stepan Shchurenkov

In this paper the exact solution and correlation functions for a double-chain Ising model with multi-spin interactions and symmetric Hamiltonian density are obtained. The study employs the transfer matrix method to derive fundamental thermodynamic characteristics of the system. The main results include exact expressions for the partition function, free energy, internal energy, specific heat capacity, magnetization, susceptibility, and entropy in a strip of finite length and in the thermodynamic limit. The work provides explicit formulas for the eigenvalues and shows structure of eigenvectors of the transfer matrix. The expression for magnetization in the thermodynamic limit using components of normalized eigenvector corresponding to the maximum eigenvalue is obtained. A detailed analysis is conducted for a special case of interactions involving all kinds of two- and four-spin interactions. This gives the simplified formula for free energy, it is calculated using the root of quadratic equation. Using special relation between parameters the solution for gonihedric model on the plane is obtained. The research reveals properties of the system, including specific features of ground states and phase diagram characteristics. Particular attention is given to the behavior of physical quantities near frustration points and the investigation of spin correlation functions. Plots of physical characteristics, including inverse correlation length, illustrating the obtained results are constructed.

Disorder solutions for generalized 2D Ising Model with multi-spin interaction

Pavel Khrapov

For generalized 2D Ising model in an external magnetic field with the interaction of nearest neighbors, next nearest neighbors, all kinds of triple interactions and the quadruple interaction the formulas for finding free energy per lattice site in the thermodynamic limit were derived on a certain set of exact disordered solutions depending on seven parameters. Lattice models are considered with boundary conditions with a shift (similar to helical ones), and with cyclic closure of the set of all points in natural ordering. The elementary transfer matrix with nonnegative matrix elements are constructed. On the set of disorder solutions the largest eigenvalue of the transfer matrix is constant for every size of considering planar lattice, and, in particular, in the thermodynamic limit. Free energy per lattice site in the thermodynamic limit is expressed through the natural logarithm of the largest eigenvalue of transfer matrix. This largest eigenvalue can be found for a special form of eigenvector with positive components. The numerical example show the existence of nontrivial solutions of the resulting systems of equations. The system of equations and the value of free energy in the thermodynamic limit will remain the same for 2D generalized Ising models with Hamiltonians, in which the values of two (out of four) neighboring maximal spins in the natural ordering are replaced by the values of the spins at any other two lattice points adjacent in the natural ordering, this significantly expands the set of models having disordered exact solutions. The high degree of symmetry and inductive construction of the components of the eigenvectors, which disappear when going beyond the framework of the obtained set of exact solutions, is an occasion to search for phase transitions in the vicinity of this set of disordered solutions.

Antiferromagnetic Ising Model on a Triangular Lattice

Yukio Saitō, Kazuhiro Igeta

An antiferromagnetic Ising system on a triangular lattice is studied by means of a transfer matrix and the phenomenological scaling method. System consists of a semi-infinite strip and helical boundary conditions are imposed at the end of each row. At external magnetic fields h =0 and 6 J , where J is a nearest neighbor coupling constant, a unite residual entropy is obtained at the zero temperature. With a small field, specific heat is found to have two peaks; a high-temperature peak corresponding to the enhanced short-range order, and a low-temperature peak to the appearance of a long-range order. A phase diagram in h - T space is obtained by means of the phenomenological scaling, and agrees fairly well with the one obtained by Monte Carlo simulation. The main deficiency is the finite transition temperature at h =0, which may be due to a crossover to the XY-like phase transition.
