The transverse Ising model in the paid approximation
Terufumi Yokota
Abstract
The transverse Ising model is investigated in the pair approximation. Critical lines for an arbitrary number of nearest-neighbour spins can be obtained. Using the approximation, Suzuki's coherent anomaly method is applied to the model and critical exponents of the susceptibility are estimated and compared with the real values. The agreement is not excellent for the small size of the cluster used and the author concludes that larger clusters are necessary for a reliable estimate for the critical exponents by this method.
