The order parameter and induced susceptibility ofc a magnetic of a magnetic field dependent ising model

Abstract
. A two-dimensional Ising model with nearest neighbour exchange interactions among electrons, in the field of a finite intensity, is investigated. By including interactions along a given direction into the structure of the transfer matrix, we pass over from the direct lattice space to the pseudo-spin space. A field dependent unitary transformation in the pseudo-spin space is applied in order to evaluate the partition function exactly. There are two important consequences of the general field dependence of the partition function: (a) The order parameter undergoes a finite discontinuity at the transition temperature; and (b) The induced susceptibility discovers a logarithmic singularity just below the transition temperature. Neither consequence seems to conform with an existing theory of a two-dimensional ferromagnet.
