Thermodynamical Properties of the Diluted Transverse Ising Model with Anisotropic Coupling Constants
J. A. Plascak
Abstract
Abstract The thermodynamical properties of the site‐ and bond‐diluted transverse Ising model with anisotropic coupling constants are studied by using a variational procedure based on Bogolyubov's inequality. Within this approach the thermal behaviour of the system is obtained in the entire range of temperature (0 ≤ T < ∞). The results for the critical temperature, critical transverse field, and critical concentration are, in several cases, comparable to the constant‐coupling approximation.
