Local three-spin correlations in the free-fermion and planar Ising models

Abstract

Abstract A number of local three-spin correlations are calculated exactly for various related ferromagnetic two-dimensional solvable models in statistical mechanics.They are the square lattice free-fermion model, the equivalent checkerboard Ising model, and the anisotropic triangular, honeycomb and square lattice Ising models. The different results are all applications of a single unifying formula.

Free-fermion, checkerboard and Z -invariant lattice models in statistical mechanics

R. J. Baxter

Abstract It is shown that the two-dimensional free fermion model is equivalent to a checkerboard Ising model, which is a special case of the general ‘Z-invariant’ Ising model. Expressions are given for the partition function and local correlations in terms of those of the regular square lattice Ising model. Corresponding results are given for the self-dual Potts model, and the application of the methods to the three-dimensional Zamolodchikov model is discussed. The paper ends with a discussion of the critical and disorder surfaces of the checkerboard Potts model.

Three-spin correlation of the free-fermion model

Ken‐Yu Lin, Fa Yueh Wu

The authors consider the free-fermion model on the square lattice and obtain the local three-spin correlation function for three spins surrounding a unit cell of the lattice. As an application of this result, they compute the spontaneous magnetisation for the Ising model on the Union Jack lattice with the most general anisotropic interactions.

1 A Spin- 3/2 Ising Model on a Square Lattice

N. Sh. Izmailian

The spin - 3/2 Ising model on a square lattice is investigated. It is shown that this model is reducible to an eight - vertex model on a surface in the parameter space spanned by coupling constants J, K, L and M. It is shown that this model is equivalent to an exactly solvable free fermion model along two lines in the parameter space.

Approximation method for spin-½ Ising models

S. Gartenhaus

An approximation for calculating the thermodynamic properties of spin-\textonehalf{} Ising models is described. The method is based on the formulation of Kramers and Wannier for the square lattice, and involves expressing the free energy in terms of the limiting maximum eigenvalue of a matrix sequence which represents the contribution from a single spin of the lattice. The application of this formulation to various two- and three-dimensional lattices shows that many of these are characterized by an identically structured matrix sequence with exactly two nonvanishing elements in each row and column. To explore the potential of using this similarity and its simplicity for analyzing Ising models we consider the two-dimensional square lattice in an external field and approximate the doubly infinite lattice by a semi-infinite one consisting of $n (\ensuremath{\le}10)$ infinitely long rows. Calculations are carried out and compared with (1) Onsager's formula for the free energy, (2) the Onsanger-Yang formula for the spontaneous magnetization, and (3) values calculated from series. Except for the region around the critical point where the correlation length exceeds $n$ lattice spacings, substantial agreement---to better than 12 places of decimals in some cases---is obtained. As an additional measure of the potential of this method, a value for the critical exponent $\ensuremath{\delta}$ is computed by the extrapolation of the magnetization along the critical isotherm. The result is found to be in excellent agreement with the known value for $\ensuremath{\delta}$.

Zero-temperature properties of quantum spin models on a triangular lattice I: the ferromagnet

Satoshi Fujiki, Donald D. Betts

The calculation of two- and four-spin correlations of the [Formula: see text] ferromagnet has been extended to an N = 21 site triangular lattice. By fitting a quadratic in 1/N to the nearest neighbour transverse pair correlations, we have estimated the ground-state energy per bond on the infinite lattice to be E0/3NJ = −0.5326 ± 0.003. We conjecture that the square of the magnetization per site vanishes very sharply as N−0.06. The nearest neighbour longitudinal correlation per bond [Formula: see text] for all two-dimensional lattices.
