Abstract

The Ising model, consisting of magnetic spins, is the most important system in understanding phase transitions and critical phenomena.For the first time, the exact integer values for the density of states of the triangular-lattice Ising model with eighteen spins on a side and free boundary conditions are evaluated.Also, the exact specific heats are obtained for the triangular-lattice Ising ferromagnet and antiferromagnet at the same time.

Ising antiferromagnet on a finite triangular lattice with free boundary conditions

Seung‐Yeon Kim

The exact integer values for the density of states of the Ising model on an equilateral triangular lattice with free boundary conditions are evaluated up to L = 24 spins on a side for the first time by using the microcanonical transfer matrix. The total number of states is 2 N s = 2300 ≈ 2.037 × 1090 for L = 24, where N s = L(L+1)/2 is the number of spins. Classifying all 2300 spin states according to their energy values is an enormous work. From the density of states, the exact partition function zeros in the complex temperature plane of the triangular-lattice Ising model are evaluated. Using the density of states and the partition function zeros, we investigate the properties of the triangularlattice Ising antiferromagnet. The scaling behavior of the ground-state entropy and the form of the correlation length at T = 0 are studied for the triangular-lattice Ising antiferromagnet with free boundary conditions. Also, the scaling behavior of the Fisher edge singularity is investigated.

Exact Solution Of The Ising Model On The 15 X 15 Square Lattice With Free Boundary Conditions

Seung‐Yeon Kim

The square-lattice Ising model is the simplest system showing phase transitions (the transition between the paramagnetic phase and the ferromagnetic phase and the transition between the paramagnetic phase and the antiferromagnetic phase) and critical phenomena at finite temperatures. The exact solution of the squarelattice Ising model with free boundary conditions is not known for systems of arbitrary size. For the first time, the exact solution of the Ising model on the square lattice with free boundary conditions is obtained after classifying all ) spin configurations with the microcanonical transfer matrix. Also, the phase transitions and critical phenomena of the square-lattice Ising model are discussed using the exact solution on the square lattice with free boundary conditions.

Ising antiferromagnet in the critical magnetic field on square lattice with free boundary conditions

Seung‐Yeon Kim

The properties of the antiferromagnetic Ising model in the critical magnetic field are investigated by evaluating exactly its all possible ground states on L × L square lattice (L = 4∼16) with free boundary conditions for the first time. From the exact integer values for the number of ground states Ωc(L) on L × L square lattice, the exact ground-state entropy (in unit of the Boltzmann constant kB) per volume sc(L) = L−2lnΩc(L) and the exact ground-state magnetization mc(L;T = 0) = L−2〈Σiσi〉 are calculated in the critical magnetic field, where σi is the magnetic spin on a lattice site i. The values of the ground-state entropy sc(L) and the ground-state magnetization mc(L), in the limit L → ∞, are accurately estimated to be sc/kB = 0.40750±0.00108 and mc = 0.54696±0.00065. In addition, for the first time, we estimate the values of the scaling exponents ωs and ωm, controlling the finite-size scaling behaviors of the ground-state entropy and the ground-state magnetization as sc−sc(L)∼L−ωs and mc−mc(L)∼L−ωm respectively. Our results show clearly that ωs = ωm = 1.

Exact partition functions of the ising model on L × L square lattices with free boundary conditions up to L = 22

Seung‐Yeon Kim

The exact partition functions of the Ising model on L × L square lattices with free boundary conditions are evaluated up to L = 22 for the first time by using a microcanonical transfer matrix and counting all possible spin states. The total number of states is 2 22×22 = 2 484 ≈ 5.0 × 10 145 for L = 22. Using the partition function zeros in the complex temperature plane of the Ising model on L × L square lattices with free boundary conditions, we analyze the critical behavior of the square-lattice Ising antiferromagnet and compare them with the results for periodic boundary conditions (the most popular boundary conditions). Our results show clearly that free boundary conditions are much more efficient than periodic boundary conditions in the study of an antiferromagnet.

Monte Carlo Simulation of the Antiferromagnetic Ising Model on the Triangular Lattice with the First and Second Neighbour Interactions

Sumiyoshi Fujiki, Keisei Shutoh, Yoshihiko Abe +1 more

Monte Carlo simulations of the Ising model on the triangular lattice with the antiferromagnetic nn interaction J and the ferromagnetic nnn interaction J ' are carried out. Several physical quantities (magnetizations, energies, susceptibilities, specific heats of sublattices and of the total system) are calculated. A phase which resembles the partially disordered phase proposed by Mekata is observed in the finite temperature region. But it is shown in this region that the sublattice magnetizations vanish at the thermodynamic limit and the Kosterlitz-Thouless phase transition is predicted by the finite size analysis.

Exact Finite-Size-Scaling Corrections to the Critical Two-Dimensional Ising Model on a Torus. II. Triangular and hexagonal lattices

Jesús Salas

We compute the finite-size corrections to the free energy, internal energy and specific heat of the critical two-dimensional spin-1/2 Ising model on a triangular and hexagonal lattices wrapped on a torus. We find the general form of the finite-size corrections to these quantities, as well as explicit formulas for the first coefficients of each expansion. We analyze the implications of these findings on the renormalization-group description of the model. Key Words: Ising model; finite-size scaling; corrections to scaling; renormalization group; irrelevant operators; scaling functions. It is well-known that phase transitions in statistical-mechanical systems can occur only in the infinite-volume limit. In any finite system, all thermodynamic quantities (such as the magnetic susceptibility and the specific heat) are analytic functions of all parameters (such as the temperature and the magnetic field); but near a critical
