Phase Diagrams of a Transverse Ising Model with Interfaces
Zhou JianHua, Yang ChuanZhang
Abstract
A transverse Ising model for a magnetic superlattice of spin-1/2 Ising layered media intercalated by periodic interfaces described by the spin-1/2 Ising model is considered. Phase diagrams and different profiles of magnetization determined by the parameters of the model are discussed within a variational procedure based on Bogoliubov's inequality for the free energy. Our results agree to those of the other's work at the limit of .
