II. Exact solutions of disordered Ising spin chains in a magnetic field

Stephen B. Haley

Abstract

The one-dimensional Ising model with arbitrary nearest neighbor interactions and a magnetic field is formulated in terms of the spin correlation function relations derived in the preceding article I. The local magnetization and the two-spin correlation functions are shown to satisfy a set of coupled algebraic summation equations. The solution of this set is given in terms of a power series in hyberbolic tangents of the magnetic field strength, for chains of arbitrary length. For cases in which the interaction constants are random variables, explicit expressions are derived for the configurational averaged magnetization and the two-spin correlation functions to the lowest order in the magnetic field.

One‐dimensional disordered magnetic Ising systems: A new approach

V. Gasparian, David Badalian, Esther Jódar

Abstract We reconsider the problem of a one‐dimensional Ising model with an arbitrary nearest‐neighbor random exchange integral, temperature, and random magnetic field in each site. A convenient formalism is developed that reduces the partition function to a recurrence equation, which is convenient both for numerical as well as for analytical approaches. We have calculated asymptotic expressions for an ensemble averaged free energy and the averaged magnetization in the case of strong and weak couplings in external constant magnetic field. With a random magnetic field at each site in addition to nearest‐neighbor random exchange integrals we also evaluated the free energy. We show that the zeros of the partition function for the Ising model in the complex external magnetic field plane formally coincide with the singularities of the real part of electron's transmission amplitude through the chain of δ‐function potentials.

Many-Neighbored Ising Chain

John F. Dobson

Using a method suggested by Montroll, we extend the well-known matrix formulation of the nearest-neighbor one-dimensional Ising problem to allow for interactions with an arbitrary finite range n, general spin l, and an applied magnetic field B. We exhibit the relevant matrix element explicitly and hence formally obtain the partition function via an eigenvalue problem of order (2l + 1)n. For the case B = 0, l = ½ we introduce a change of variable which simplifies the partition function while still allowing a matrix formulation. Using this approach we have computed specific-heat curves for infinite, ferromagnetic Ising chains with interactions of range n (n ≤ 7). We prove in an appendix that open and cyclic boundary conditions are equivalent for the system under consideration.

Exact Solution of 1D Ising Model on Linear Chain with Arbitrary Spin

Alexey I. Proshkin, Felix A. Kassan-Ogly

We investigated the Ising model on a linear chain with arbitrary spin including interactions between nearest and next-nearest neighbors in an applied magnetic field. A series of exact solutions and formulas for frustration fields, magnetizations and entropies at these fields at T→0 are found.

Perpendicular susceptibility of two one-dimensional Ising chains

Gary S. Grest, A. K. Rajagopal

Exact, closed expressions are obtained for the perpendicular and parallel susceptibilities of the one-dimensional spin-1/2 Ising model (i) with nearest neighbor interactions in a uniform magnetic field and (ii) with next-nearest neighbor interactions but without the magnetic field, in the thermodynamic limit. Graphs of the susceptibilities as a function of temperature for various magnetic field strengths in (i), and as a function of different ratios of the interaction strengths in (ii), are discussed.

Ising Chain with a Spin Impurity

Harold Falk

Consider a closed, linear chain of $N$ localized spins (each $s=\frac{1}{2}$) with nearest-neighbor Ising interaction. Such a chain, exposed to a uniform external magnetic field, will be called the pure host. Replace a single spin in the pure host by an impurity spin which is also subjected to nearest-neighbor Ising interaction and to the external field. The magnitude of the impurity spin, the magnitude of its magnetic moment, and the magnitude and sign of its interaction with the host are allowed to differ from the corresponding values characterizing the host. For the bulk system ($N\ensuremath{\rightarrow}\ensuremath{\infty}$, for constant linear density of spins), the thermodynamic properties, such as the impurity magnetization, the (position-dependent) magnetization of the impurity-host system and the impurity-host spin correlation functions, are obtained exactly in terms of conventional, tabulated functions. Numerical results are presented for impurity spins of magnitude $S=\frac{3}{2},\frac{5}{2}$.

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.
