Abstract
From one point of view, the Baxter model (1971) is a model of two coupled 2D Ising lattices. It is known that the specific heat exponent alpha in this model is proportional to the coupling between the lattices g, for small coupling: alpha approximately=4g/ pi <<1. The critical behaviour of the specific heat of the Baxter model with impurity lattice bonds is studied and it is found that the Harris criterion (1974) does not hold in this case. In particular for alpha approximately g<0 the critical specific heat of the pure model C pure ( pi ) approximately - mod tau mod 4(g) pi /( tau =(T-T c )/T c ) changes to a function with stronger cusp singularity C imp ( tau ) approximately -(ln ln 1/ mod tau mod ) -1 , while according to the Harris criterion it should not change in this case. For alpha approximately g>0 the change is from C pure ( tau ) approximately mod tau mod -4g pi / to C imp ( tau ) approximately ln ln 1/ mod tau mod .
