Abstract
We present a Jordan type spectral decomposition for the Hamiltonian operator of a two-dimensional (2D) Ising model driven by a local external field. The results reveal that the external field induces a dynamic contribution to the Jordan block structure, while the interaction between lattice spins contributes to the energy spectrum, tending to attract the system to a minimum energy state. Both interactions contributing to the principle vectors of the Hamiltonian operator reflect their correlation. Since we adopt a first-principle approach the results are useful to general 2D Ising spin systems subject to time-independent external fields irrespective of whether the system is in equilibrium.
