One‐dimensional disordered magnetic Ising systems: A new approach

V. Gasparian, David Badalian, Esther Jódar

Published Jul 7, 2009• 0 citations

Abstract

Abstract We reconsider the problem of a one‐dimensional Ising model with an arbitrary nearest‐neighbor random exchange integral, temperature, and random magnetic field in each site. A convenient formalism is developed that reduces the partition function to a recurrence equation, which is convenient both for numerical as well as for analytical approaches. We have calculated asymptotic expressions for an ensemble averaged free energy and the averaged magnetization in the case of strong and weak couplings in external constant magnetic field. With a random magnetic field at each site in addition to nearest‐neighbor random exchange integrals we also evaluated the free energy. We show that the zeros of the partition function for the Ising model in the complex external magnetic field plane formally coincide with the singularities of the real part of electron's transmission amplitude through the chain of δ‐function potentials.

II. Exact solutions of disordered Ising spin chains in a magnetic field

Stephen B. Haley

The one-dimensional Ising model with arbitrary nearest neighbor interactions and a magnetic field is formulated in terms of the spin correlation function relations derived in the preceding article I. The local magnetization and the two-spin correlation functions are shown to satisfy a set of coupled algebraic summation equations. The solution of this set is given in terms of a power series in hyberbolic tangents of the magnetic field strength, for chains of arbitrary length. For cases in which the interaction constants are random variables, explicit expressions are derived for the configurational averaged magnetization and the two-spin correlation functions to the lowest order in the magnetic field.

Free energy, entropy, and magnetization of a one-dimensional Ising model of a diluted magnet

S. V. Semkin, Виктор Павлович Смагин

We consider a one-dimensional Ising model (chain) with the the nearest-neighbor interaction and with a random nonmagnetic dilution. We find the exact free energy of such a chain as a function of the impurity concentration, temperature, and the external magnetic field. In the case of antiferromagnetic interaction in the chain, we find the specific magnetization, the mean value of the product of neighboring spins, and the entropy as functions of these parameters. We study the residual system entropy.

Investigation of magnetic field effect on surface and finite-site free energy in one-dimensional Ising model of nanosystems

Farid Taherkhani, Hadi Abroshan, Hamed Akbarzadeh +2 more

We investigate a one-dimensional (1-D) Ising model for finite-site systems. The finite-site free energy and the surface free energy are calculated via the transfer matrix method. We show that, at high magnetic fields, the surface free energy has an asymptotic limit. The absolute surface energy increases when the value of f (the ratio of magnetic field to nearest-neighbor interactions) increases, and for f ≥ 10 approaches a constant value. For the values of f ≥ 0.2, the finite-site free energy also increases, but slowly. The thermodynamic limit in which physical properties approach the bulk value is also explored.

Many-Neighbored Ising Chain

John F. Dobson

Using a method suggested by Montroll, we extend the well-known matrix formulation of the nearest-neighbor one-dimensional Ising problem to allow for interactions with an arbitrary finite range n, general spin l, and an applied magnetic field B. We exhibit the relevant matrix element explicitly and hence formally obtain the partition function via an eigenvalue problem of order (2l + 1)n. For the case B = 0, l = ½ we introduce a change of variable which simplifies the partition function while still allowing a matrix formulation. Using this approach we have computed specific-heat curves for infinite, ferromagnetic Ising chains with interactions of range n (n ≤ 7). We prove in an appendix that open and cyclic boundary conditions are equivalent for the system under consideration.

An empirical partition function for two-dimensional Ising Model in an external magnetic field

Rong Wei

There is no an accepted exact partition function (PF) for the two-dimensional (2D) Ising model with a non-zero external magnetic field to our knowledge. Here we infer an empirical PF for such an Ising model. We compare the PFs for two finite-size Ising lattices ($4\times 4$ and $4\times 6$) from this empirical PF with those from Wei (2018) (Wei, R.Q., 2018. An exact solution to the partition function of the finite-size Ising Model, arXiv: General Physics: 1805.01366.), and find that they are consistent very well. Based on this empirical PF, we further analyze and calculate the thermodynamic functions (heat capacity, magnetization, susceptibility) of this 2D Ising model and discuss the model's singularity semiquantitatively. Analysis and calculations from this PF show that they are coincident with those from other related studies; Especially the 2D Ising model in an external magnetic field has spontaneous magnetization (SM) calling the phenomenon at the critical temperature a phase transition, and the SM decreases with the increasing temperature. However, the decreasing variation of the SM here is different from that obtained by Yang (1952) from the 2D Ising model in a weak magnetic field.

Partition Function for Two-Dimensional Nearest Neighbour Ising Model in a Non-Zero Magnetic Field for a Square Lattice of 16 Sites

G. Nandhini, M.V. Sangaranarayanan

An explicit expression for the partition function of two-dimensional nearest neighbour Ising models in the presence of a magnetic field is derived by a systematic enumeration of all the spin configurations pertaining to a square lattice of sixteen sites. The critical temperature is shown to be in excellent agreement with the reported values while the corresponding dimensionless magnetic field is obtained as 0.004.
