One-dimensional Ising model with random bonds
J M Kowalski, Andrzej Pękalski
Abstract
The thermodynamics of the 1D Ising model with arbitrarily varying exchange integrals is investigated. Using the 'levelling-exponential' method and a simple diagrammatic technique, the asymptotically exact expansion of the free energy with respect to the parameter tanh( beta H) (where H is the external magnetic field) is obtained. General results are specified and discussed for the case of the so-called exclusive double-bond model when one of the exchange integrals is ferro- and the other antiferromagnetic.
