LOW TEMPERATURE CRITICAL BEHAVIOUR OF THE ISING MODEL OF FERROMAGNETISM

Abstract
Low temperature series expansions for the spin S = 1 Ising model on various two and three dimensional lattices have been generated. By extrapolation of these series, it is found that the critical exponents β, γ' and δ appear to be the same as for the spin S = 1/2 Ising model. For the spin S = 1/2 Ising model, we have found that the class of configurations represented by Cayley trees make a significant contribution to the low temperature series coefficients. In particular, we find that the distribution of singularities within the disk | u | ≤ |uc |(uc = exp[- 4 J/kTc], Tc is the critical temperature) is well represented by including only the Cayley trees in the partition function.
