Abstract

This thesis project involved the study of exact solutions for magnetic spin correlations on a regular- and a decorated-square Ising lattice structure. Existent knowledge of correlations on a regular-square Ising structure is sufficient to determine exact correlation values on a select, spatially compact, decorated structure. These values can be represented as linear combinations of regular-square Ising spin correlation through the use of linear-algebra and the decoration-iteration transformation. Multispin localized correlations are studied over a broad range of temperatures and are found to decrease with increasing temperature. At very low temperatures, all correlation are found to saturate to unity regardless of spin separation and quantity of spins involved.

Exact solutions for Ising-model odd-number correlations on planar lattices

Jeremiah H. Barry, T. Tanaka, Mahfuza Khatun +1 more

Simple procedures are first used to obtain exact solutions of highly-localized odd-number Ising correlations on the kagom\'e, square, and honeycomb lattices. To extend these results, a systematic and unifying method is then developed and demonstrated for finding exact solutions of n-site (with n an odd integer) Ising correlations on various planar lattices. The method combines five transformation or mapping theorems and linear-algebraic correlation identities of the triangular Ising model supplemented by a foreknowledge of its spontaneous magnetization and three select triplet correlations. In particular, considering a select seven-site cluster of the triangular Ising model, the knowledge of all its eleven odd-number correlations defined upon this cluster is shown sufficient for determining exactly all honeycomb, decorated-honeycomb, and kagom\'e Ising odd-number correlations upon their correspondingly select 10-, 19-, and 9-site clusters, respectively. The direct applicability of the catenated mapping theorems and relative ease of the calculational procedures are highlighted by the resulting large numbers of multisite correlation solutions (e.g., approximately 80 and 50 for the honeycomb and kagom\'e Ising models, respectively), the large ${\mathit{n}}_{\mathrm{max}}$ values (${\mathit{n}}_{\mathrm{max}}$=9, 9, and 19, respectively, for the honeycomb, kagom\'e, and decorated-honeycomb Ising models), and convenient prescriptions for extracting critical amplitudes. The results also offer examples of correlation degeneracies and other linear-algebraic correlation identities that do not depend explicitly upon the interaction parameters.

Exact solution of the mixed-spin Ising model on a decorated square lattice with two different kinds of decorating spins on horizontal and vertical bonds

Jozef Strečka, Lucia Čanová, M. Jaščur

The mixed-spin-$(1∕2,{S}_{\mathrm{B}},{S}_{\mathrm{C}})$ Ising model on a decorated square lattice with two different kinds of decorating spins ${S}_{\mathrm{B}}$ and ${S}_{\mathrm{C}}$ $({S}_{\mathrm{B}}\ensuremath{\ne}{S}_{\mathrm{C}})$ placed on its horizontal and vertical bonds, respectively, is exactly solved by establishing a precise mapping relationship with the corresponding spin-$1∕2$ Ising model on an anisotropic square (rectangular) lattice. The effect of uniaxial single-ion anisotropy acting on both types of decorating spins ${S}_{\mathrm{B}}$ and ${S}_{\mathrm{C}}$ is examined, in particular. If decorating spins ${S}_{\mathrm{B}}$ and ${S}_{\mathrm{C}}$ are integer and half-odd-integer, respectively, or if the reverse is the case, the model under investigation displays a very peculiar critical behavior that had bearing on the spontaneously ordered ``quasi-one-dimensional'' spin system, which appears as a result of the single-ion anisotropy strengthening. We have found convincing evidence that this remarkable spontaneous ordering virtually arises even though all integer-valued decorating spins tend toward their ``nonmagnetic'' spin state $S=0$ and the system becomes disordered only upon further increase of the single-ion anisotropy. The single-ion anisotropy parameter is also at an origin of various temperature dependences of the total magnetization when imposing the pure ferrimagnetic or the mixed ferro-ferrimagnetic character of the spin arrangement.

Exact solutions for even-number correlations of the square Ising model

Mahfuza Khatun, Jeremiah H. Barry, T. Tanaka

To obtain an unusually large set of exact solutions for even-number localized correlations of the standard square Ising model, a method is developed that combines traditional Pfaffian techniques with linear-algebraic systems of correlation identities having interaction-dependent coefficients. Two eight-site clusters (subclusters of the ``Greek cross'' cluster) are studied, and altogether sixty different even-number correlations are determined exactly at all temperatures. Besides demonstrating the existence of degeneracies within the set of exact solutions, the solution curve for an eight-site correlation is evidently the first of such large order to be displayed for an Ising model on any regular planar lattice. Significant time as well as labor efficiency of the method is clearly demonstrated since relatively few correlations need to be actually calculated by Pfaffian techniques in order to obtain large additional numbers of multisite correlation solutions using much simpler linear-algebraic procedures.

Exact solutions for Ising-model correlations in the 3-12 (extendedkagome´) lattice

Jeremiah H. Barry, Mahfuza Khatun

The 3-12 (or extended kagom\'e) lattice is a three-coordinated irregular planar lattice having physical applications. Viewing its sites as the decoration sites of a doubly decorated honeycomb lattice, one proves via local star-triangle and double decoration-decimation transformations that 3-12 Ising correlations can be conveniently represented as linear combinations of honeycomb Ising correlations. Existent knowledge of all honeycomb Ising correlations upon a select (spatially compact) 10-site cluster is thus sufficient to determine all 3-12 Ising correlations upon an associated 18-site cluster. The total number of 3-12 Ising correlations defined upon this 18-site cluster is exceedingly large, but their actual count is less significant than the realization that each can now be found in a systematic and efficient fashion. Examples of resulting exact solutions for both even- and odd-number multisite correlations of the 3-12 Ising ferromagnet are presented at all temperatures. A simple scaling relationship is established between the asymptotic forms of the pair correlation in the 3-12 and honeycomb Ising models. Besides providing relatively direct derivations (no explicit magnetic fields or field derivatives) for the spontaneous magnetization and internal energy of the 3-12 Ising model, the mapping methods may be repeated recursively to secure Ising multisite correlations upon various other irregular planar lattices.

A Solvable Decorated Ising Lattice Model

Sun Chun-Feng, Xiang-Mu Kong, Xun-Chang Yin

A decorated lattice is suggested and the Ising model on it with three kinds of interactions K1, K2, and K3 is studied. Using an equivalent transformation, the square decorated Ising lattice is transformed into a regular square Ising lattice with nearest-neighbor, next-nearest-neighbor, and four-spin interactions, and the critical fixed point is found at K1 = 0.5769, K2 = −0.0671, and K3 = 0.3428, which determines the critical temperature of the system. It is also found that this system and the regular square Ising lattice, and the eight-vertex model belong to the same universality class.

THE APPROXIMATE SOLUTION TO THE ISING MODEL ON A DECORATED SQUARE LATTICE

Xiang-Mu Kong

Using the decimation technique,a decorated square Ising lattice with two kinds of interactions K1and K2 was transformed into a regular square Ising lattice with nearest-neighbor(NN),next-nearest-neighbor(NNN),and four-spin interactions.The critical point of the approximate solution in this system was at K′C=0.4406868.The result indicated that the phase transition occurred only when the NN interaction K1 and the NNN interaction K2 satisfied a certain relation.If we only calculated the NN interaction K1,the critical point of the exact solution was at K1C=0.7635.It was also found that if we decorated two spins between the two square lattice points,the answer could be solved exactly on condition that the NN interaction existed on the doubly decorated square Ising lattice.
