Abstract
In the Ising model on a helical lattice with period M (in the limit M →∞ of this lattice, the model corresponds to the two-dimensional Ising model), the exact simultaneous equations to calculate physical quantities are derived. The zero field magnetic susceptibility χ 0 , and also the specific heat C are obtained numerically for the system of M ≤11. Furthermore, in the Ising model with up to the next nearest neighbor interactions on the helical lattice, χ 0 and C are calculated for the system of M ≤9. The results obtained are an excellent approximation to the exact χ 0 and C of the two-dimensional systems.
