Abstract: | We investigate the corner spin magnetization of two-dimensional ferromagnetic Ising models in various wedge geometries. Results are obtained for triangular and square lattices by numerical studies on finite wedges using the star-triangle transformation, as well as analytic calculations using corner transfer matrices and a fermionic representation of the row-to-row transfer matrix. The corner magnetizations vanish at the bulk critical temperature Tc with an exponent c differing from the bulk exponent. For isotropic systems with free edges we find that c is given simply by c= /2 , where is the angle at the corner. For apex magnetizations of conical lattices we obtain the strikingly similar result a= /4 . These formulas apply equally well to anisotropic lattices if the angle is interpreted as an effective angle, eff, determined by the relative strengths of the interactions. |
