Exact solution of the Ising model on a pentagonal lattice
Viktor Urumov
Abstract
It is shown that the Ising model on a two-dimensional lattice with pentagonal tiling and nearest-neighbour interactions is equivalent to the Ising model on the Union-Jack lattice with nearest- and second nearest-neighbour non-crossing interactions. Besides the critical temperature, exact expressions are obtained for the spontaneous magnetization for both types of lattice sites.
