On the one-dimensional ising model with arbitrary spin

Robert L. Bowden, D.M. Kaplan

Published Jan 1, 1976• 2 citations
Publisher

Abstract

As an illustration of a quasiclassical spin formalism developed in a recent paper a new method for solving the one-dimensional Ising model is presented. The method used is an extension to spin systems of the Wigner method familiar in computations involving position and momentum. The partition function, pair correlation function and the zero-field susceptibility for the one-dimensional Ising model with arbitrary spin are shown to be expressed in terms of the eigenfunctions and eigenvalues of a certain integral equation whose kernel approaches the classical kernel as the spin approaches infinity.

Quasiclassical Methods in the Spin S, One Dimensional Ising Model

Robert L. Bowden, D. M. Kaplan, C. D. Graham +1 more

A Quasiclassical Spin Formalism is developed for spin algebras characteristic of Ising Models, that is, an algebra in which all elements commute. Spin operators and their products are mapped onto continous variables while traces are re‐expressed as integrals over these variables. Using the formalism, a certain Integral Equation is developed whose eigenfunctions and eigenvalues characterize the thermodynamical properties of the spin S, one dimensional Ising lattice. The kernel of the equation is the “classical” kernal in the limit as spin approaches infinity.

Infinite-Spin Ising Model in One Dimension

Colin J. Thompson

The partition function z, the pair correlation function ρ, and the zero-field susceptibility χ for the one-dimensional Ising model with infinite spin, are expressed in terms of the eigenvalues and eigenfunctions of an integral equation. The eigenfunctions of the integral equation are shown to be the oblate spheroidal wavefunctions, and, from known asymptotic expansions, high- and low-temperature expansions are given for z, ρ, and χ. It is shown that the low-temperature behavior of z, ρ, and χ differs qualitatively from the corresponding behavior for all finite spin.

A novel approach to the exact calculation of correlation functions of a one-dimensional random Ising chain

A. K. Rajagopal, Gary S. Grest

An exact result for the partition function for a general one-dimensional Ising chain of N spin-1/2 particles described by the Hamiltonian HN=−∑i=1NJiσiσi+1−∑i=1NHiσi is given. For an open strand, JN = 0; for a closed chain, σN+1 = σ1, JN ≠ 0. The novelty of the trick used enables one to obtain the partition function and all the spin correlation functions for open and closed chains with equal ease. Special cases of this model have been discussed before to elucidate certain features of some biological systems. New expressions for parallel and perpendicular susceptibilities for this model are also derived. When Ji and Hi are treated as random variables, the above Hamiltonian describes a one-dimensional Ising spin glass. In this case some simple models and formal averaging procedures are discussed.

One-Dimensional Ising Model with General Spin

Masuo Suzuki, Bunjiro Tsujiyama, Shigetoshi Katsura

The one-dimensional Ising model with general spin S has been formulated as an eigenvalue problem of order 2S + 1. Two methods to reduce the order to [S + 1] have been developed for calculating the energy and the susceptibility at zero external field. Exact solutions for S = 32 and S = 1 have been obtained. Numerical calculations of S = 32, 1, and ½ have been compared.

Classical Heisenberg Model

G S Joyce

Exact expressions for the partition function, spin pair correlation function, and susceptibility of the onedimensional isotropic classical Heisenberg model are obtained in zero external field with cyclic boundary conditions. It is shown that the methods used to derive these results enable the partition functions and susceptibilities of finite clusters of interacting classical spins to be evaluated in terms of the $3n\ensuremath{-}j$ symbols of Wigner. Exact results in one dimension are also obtained for the partition function and susceptibility of a "planar" classical Heisenberg model. In this model the spin vectors interact via a Heisenberg coupling but each spin vector is restricted to lie in a plane.The anisotropic classical Heisenberg model described by the Hamiltonian $\mathcal{H}=\ensuremath{-}\ensuremath{\Sigma}\stackrel{}{(\mathrm{ij})}2({{J}_{\mathrm{ij}}}^{x}{{s}_{i}}^{x}{{s}_{j}}^{x}+{{J}_{\mathrm{ij}}}^{y}{{s}_{i}}^{y}{{s}_{j}}^{y}+{{J}_{\mathrm{ij}}}^{z}{{s}_{i}}^{z}{{s}_{j}}^{z})\ensuremath{-}mH\ensuremath{\Sigma}\stackrel{N}{j=1}{{s}_{i}}^{z},$ where ${{s}_{i}}^{x}$, ${{s}_{i}}^{y}$, and ${{s}_{i}}^{z}$ are components of the unit vector ${\mathbf{s}}_{i}$, is also considered. A perturbation series for the zero-field free energy of the anisotropic model in one dimension with nearest-neighbor interactions ${{J}_{\mathrm{ij}}}^{x}={{J}_{\mathrm{ij}}}^{y}=J$ and ${{J}_{\mathrm{ij}}}^{z}=\ensuremath{\gamma}J$ is developed in powers of $\ensuremath{\gamma}\ensuremath{-}1$ using the isotropic model as the unperturbed system. Detailed calculations are performed to third order in $\ensuremath{\gamma}\ensuremath{-}1$. It is found that the perturbation series for the energy per spin breaks down as $T\ensuremath{\rightarrow}0$. A high-temperature series expansion for the anisotropic model, which is valid for a general interaction potential and lattice, is derived by generalizing the methods developed by Horwitz and Callen for the Ising model. This series is rearranged to give a simplified diagram expansion. Finally, a practical technique for calculating the high-temperature series expansions of the zero-field free energy and susceptibility of the isotropic classical Heisenberg model is presented.

Low-Temperature Properties of Infinite-Spin Ising Model in One-Dimensional Lattice

Tsuyoshi Horiguchi

We investigate the low-temperature behaviors of the spin-pair correlation functions at large distances, the correlation length and the zero-field susceptibility for the infinite-spin Ising model in a one-dimensional lattice. By solving an integral equation, we find that the divergent behavior of the correlation length is weaker than the one for the finite-spin Ising models.
