Abstract
Extended high-temperature series expansions are presented for the spin-s Ising model on the face-centred cubic lattice. Series coefficients for the zero-field internal energy (U 0 ) and the second moment ( mu 2 ) of the correlation function are derived, for 1 / 2 <or=s<or= 9 / 2 , to order 14 in the high-temperature expansion variable K(=J/kT). For s= 1 / 2 , the fourth field derivative of the free energy is calculated to order K 14 and the magnetisation series is given to order 13 and 27 in the temperature and magnetic field variables respectively. For s=1 to 9 / 2 , the zero-field susceptibility series are derived to order K 14 .
