399th solution of the Ising model

R. J. Baxter, Ian Graham Enting

Published Dec 1, 1978• 66 citations
Publisher

Abstract

The authors show that the nearest-neighbour correlations of the honeycomb, triangular, and square Ising models can be obtained by using only the star-triangle relations and simple assumptions concerning the thermodynamic limit and differentiability. This gives the internal energy, and hence the free energy and specific heat.

Transformations of Ising Models

Michael Ellis Fisher

The "star-triangle" and "decoration" transformations are generalized so as to apply to arbitrary mechanical systems coupled to the spins of a standard Ising net. This leads to exact solutions for further plane Ising nets and also for lattices in which the spins on alternate sites have a magnitude greater than $S=\frac{1}{2}$. A general class of antiferromagnetic Ising models is constructed; exact closed expressions can be derived for all the thermodynamic and magnetic properties of these models in an arbitrary magnetic field.The magnetizations and susceptibilities of Ising nets in which different spins have different magnetic moments are investigated and a valuable relation between the susceptibilities of the honeycomb and triangular lattices is derived. It is shown how correlation functions involving a given spin can be expressed in terms of correlations involving the nearest-neighbor spins instead.

Universal finite-size scaling functions with exact nonuniversal metric factors

Ming‐Chya Wu, Chin‐Kun Hu, N. Sh. Izmailian

Using exact partition functions and finite-size corrections for the Ising model on finite square, plane triangular, and honeycomb lattices and extending a method [J. Phys. 19, L1215 (1986)] to subtract leading singular terms from the free energy, we obtain universal finite-size scaling functions for the specific heat, internal energy, and free energy of the Ising model on these lattices with exact nonuniversal metric factors.

Triplet order parameters in triangular and honeycomb Ising models

Ian Graham Enting

It is shown that the ratios of certain triplet order parameters to magnetisation in honeycomb and diamond lattice Ising models can be easily calculated. Applying the star-triangle transformation reproduces the result obtained by Baxter (see ibid., vol.8, p.1797 (1975)) on the triangular lattice. The new derivation indicates that exact solutions for triplet order parameters are of only limited use as checks on series expansions.

Exact solution of Z(N) invariant spin models on a triangular lattice

Roberto Nicolau Onody, V. Kurak

Based on Baxter's ideas the authors present a method to solve spin models on triangular lattices. If the model has only nearest neighbour interaction and it satisfies the star-triangle relation then the exact free energy can be obtained. They apply the method to reobtain the critical triangular Potts model and to extend the self-dual Z(N) solutions of Fateev and Zamolodchikov to the triangular lattice.

Specific heat and the phase diagram of the Ising square lattice with nearest- and next-nearest interactions

F. Aguilera‐Granja, José Luis Morán-López

The specific heat and the phase diagram of the Ising square lattice with nearest- (J 1 ) and next-nearest-neighbour (J 2 ) interactions are studied within the cluster variation method. The Ising Hamiltonian is solved in the square (Wannier-Kramer) approximation. The phase diagram is calculated and compared with other previous studies.
