Transverse Ising model with arbitrary spin
T. Kaneyoshi, M. Jaščur, I. P. Fittipaldi
Abstract
An effective-field theory that has recently been used for studying higher-spin Ising models is herein extended to the transverse Ising model with an arbitrary spin S. The general formulation for evaluating the transition line in the \ensuremath{\Omega}-T space and relevant statistical-mechanical quantities is derived. Numerical results are performed and analyzed for the particular cases S=3/2 and S=2.
