Abstract A useful representation for the Callen identity in the case of spin‐1/2 is introduced by a simple technique. The phase diagrams and percolation problems of the diluted Ising lattice with arbitrary coordination number z are also discussed.
The critical behavior of the dilute Ising model on a Bethe lattice of coordination z is studied in the percolation limit ($T\ensuremath{\rightarrow}0$) by means of a new moment-expansion procedure. Exact numerical results for the magnetization as a function of magnetic field at the critical concentration, p=pc, are presented for z=3 and z=4. In particular, the critical exponent ${\ensuremath{\delta}}_{P}$ is expected to agree well for very low fields with the approximate value ${\ensuremath{\delta}}_{P}=2$ obtained by Essam et al. The nature of deviations from the value ${\ensuremath{\delta}}_{P}=2$ is discussed and their consequences are noted. The case $p\ensuremath{\ne}{p}_{c}$ is also discussed.
