Abstract

Partition function of finite Ising model (spin=1/2) was exactly obtained by a computer for three dimensional even lattice 4×4×2=32 with periodic boundary condition in the presence of a magnetic field. Specific heat was calculated as a function of temperature. The zeros of the partition functions of the complex temperature plane and magnetic field plane were investigated.

The partition functions of the two- and three-dimensional finite Ising models in the presence of a magnetic field have been calculated with use of a high-speed computer. Periodic boundary conditions were imposed. All the numbers of configurations for the 3×3×3, 5×5, and 4×6 lattices are tabulated. The distribution of zeros of the partition functions in the complex magnetic-field plane has been obtained both for the ferro- and antiferromagnetic cases. The zeros in the ferromagnetic cases are distributed on the unit circle according to the Yang-Lee theorem, and the dependence on temperature of the distribution functions has been studied. In the antiferromagnetic case most of zeros are on the negative real axis, but a certain number of complex roots appear in the left half of the plane. The magnetization and the magnetic susceptibility have been calculated as functions of temperature.

Statistical Mechanics of the Finite Ising Model with Higher Spin

Chikao Kawabata, Masuo Suzuki

The partition functions of the finite Ising models of spin S =1, 3/2, 2, 5/2 and 3 have been calculated by a high speed computer. The periodicity condition at the boundaries has been imposed, and only the nearest neighbor interaction has been assumed. The specific heats of these finite systems have been calculated as a function of temperature. The maxima of the specific heat increase proportionally to long N in the two-dimensional Ising model with spin S =1, N being the number of lattice points, which indicates that the specific heat for the above lattice has a singularity such as C v / k ∼ A log | T - T c |+ B ± : A ∼0.10 and B - - B + =0.24. The difference ( B + - B - ) has been estimated from the asymmetric distribution of the zeros of the partition function in the complex temperature plane.

The partition function of a three-dimensional Ising model was calculated by a high-speed computer for a cubic array of twenty-seven points. The periodicity condition was imposed. The specific heat of the 3×3×3 lattice was calculated as a function of temperature. The critical temperature estimated from the specific heat curve seems slightly lower that obtained from the Padé approximation. The zeros of the partition function of the complex temperature plane were also obtained. The critical temperature estimated from the zeros near the positive real axis seems slightly higher than both of the above values. Similar calculations were carried out for the case of the two-dimensional Ising model. Several results are compared with those obtained from Onsager's exact solution.

Statistical Mechanics of the Finite Heisenberg Model. II

Chikao Kawabata

The eigenfunctions of a two-dimensional finite 3×3 lattice of Heisenberg model ( s =1/2) are obtained exactly with the aid of group theoretical technique and by using a computer. The eigenvalues of the anisotropic exchange Hamiltonian have been computed. The zeros of the partition function for the two-dimensional finite 3×3 lattice lie on the same unit circle in the complex magnetic field plane as those obtained in the three-dimensional finite 2×2×2 lattice. The zeros of the partition function obtained by coarse-graining of eigenvalues distribute on a line in the complex temperature plane. The thermodynamic quantities–specific heat, entropy, magnetization–has been numerically computed for ferro- and antiferromagnetic coupling. The critical index of the magnetization versus field is discussed on the basis of these numerical results.

The eigen-functions and eigen-values of finite three-dimensional Heisenberg models with anisotropy constant as a parameter (spin=1/2) were obtained exactly with the aid of group theoretical technique and by using a high speed computer. The calculated eigenvalues are identical with those obtained by Serber and Dresselhaus for the isotropic simple cubic 2×2×2 lattice. However, it was found that some terms in their full expressions were to be corrected. The zeros of the partition function of the above 2×2×2 lattice have been investigated as functions of the anisotropy parameter both in the complex temperature plane and in the complex magnetic field plane. Thermodynamic functions such as energy, specific heat, magnetization, and susceptibility have been numerically computed for these finite system.

An empirical partition function for two-dimensional Ising Model in an external magnetic field

Rong Wei

There is no an accepted exact partition function (PF) for the two-dimensional (2D) Ising model with a non-zero external magnetic field to our knowledge. Here we infer an empirical PF for such an Ising model. We compare the PFs for two finite-size Ising lattices ($4\times 4$ and $4\times 6$) from this empirical PF with those from Wei (2018) (Wei, R.Q., 2018. An exact solution to the partition function of the finite-size Ising Model, arXiv: General Physics: 1805.01366.), and find that they are consistent very well. Based on this empirical PF, we further analyze and calculate the thermodynamic functions (heat capacity, magnetization, susceptibility) of this 2D Ising model and discuss the model's singularity semiquantitatively. Analysis and calculations from this PF show that they are coincident with those from other related studies; Especially the 2D Ising model in an external magnetic field has spontaneous magnetization (SM) calling the phenomenon at the critical temperature a phase transition, and the SM decreases with the increasing temperature. However, the decreasing variation of the SM here is different from that obtained by Yang (1952) from the 2D Ising model in a weak magnetic field.
