Open and Periodic Boundary Conditions in Statistical Mechanics: A Case Study of the Antiferromagnetic Ising Chain

Katarína Karľová, Jozef Strečka

The transfer-matrix method is employed to investigate a spin-1/2 Ising chain under open and periodic boundary conditions. It is demonstrated that finite-size Ising chains with antiferromagnetic coupling may exhibit significantly distinct magnetic behavior under open and periodic boundary conditions. While the open Ising chains display intriguing magnetic features regardless of the system size, mainly due to a specific contribution of boundary spins, the magnetic behavior of closed Ising chains depends basically on the number of spins. The closed Ising chains with an odd number of spins are subject to a geometric spin frustration leading to an additional plateau in the magnetization curve, which is naturally absent in the closed Ising chains with an even number of spins. Despite different microscopic origins, the magnetization curves of open and closed Ising chains with an odd number of spins exhibit an identical intermediate plateau, with only small quantitative differences appearing at moderate temperatures, which means that a geometric spin frustration of odd-membered rings is somewhat similar to the effect of open boundaries. The magnetization curves of the open Ising chains with an even number of spins differ drastically from those of the closed Ising chains due to the presence of an additional intermediate magnetization plateau. Furthermore, the initial susceptibility, inverse initial susceptibility, and susceptibility-temperature product are examined in detail as functions of temperature. These magnetic response functions demonstrate that the Curie constant and Weiss temperature represent fundamental characteristics of the magnetic system that are independent of the choice of boundary conditions.

Exact Solution and Correlation Functions of Generalized Double Ising Chains

Pavel Khrapov, Stepan Shchurenkov

In this paper the exact solution and correlation functions for a double-chain Ising model with multi-spin interactions and symmetric Hamiltonian density are obtained. The study employs the transfer matrix method to derive fundamental thermodynamic characteristics of the system. The main results include exact expressions for the partition function, free energy, internal energy, specific heat capacity, magnetization, susceptibility, and entropy in a strip of finite length and in the thermodynamic limit. The work provides explicit formulas for the eigenvalues and shows structure of eigenvectors of the transfer matrix. The expression for magnetization in the thermodynamic limit using components of normalized eigenvector corresponding to the maximum eigenvalue is obtained. A detailed analysis is conducted for a special case of interactions involving all kinds of two- and four-spin interactions. This gives the simplified formula for free energy, it is calculated using the root of quadratic equation. Using special relation between parameters the solution for gonihedric model on the plane is obtained. The research reveals properties of the system, including specific features of ground states and phase diagram characteristics. Particular attention is given to the behavior of physical quantities near frustration points and the investigation of spin correlation functions. Plots of physical characteristics, including inverse correlation length, illustrating the obtained results are constructed.
