Solution of an Ising model with two- and four-spin interactions

The Ising model on a hexagonal lattice with nearest-neighbor and certain four-spin interactions is solved exactly. The critical behaviors are the same as those of the nearest-neighbor Ising models.     

High temperature correlation functions for the planar Ising model

We investigate the high-temperature correlation functions of the ferromagnetic Ising model on a plane rectangular lattice Λ with external field h. The only further restrictions on the interactions are: a) translational invariance b) the range is a unit rectangle. We compare our results with Ornstein-Zernicke theory.     

Ferroelectric square lattice described by the transverse Ising model with long-range interactions

A ferroelectric square lattice described by the transverse Ising model is studied by taking into account the long-range interactions. The size dependence of the Curie temperature as well as the polarization of the lattice is studied. Dielectric peaks and pyroelectric peaks are found in the edge area of the lattice which vary in position with the interaction range. It is found that the interaction range has a strong influence on the ferroelectric properties of the lattice.     

The phase diagram of the 2D Ising model with anisotropic next-nearest-neighbor and four-spin interactions

In the present paper, the two-dimensional Ising model with anisotropic nearest-neighbor, next-nearest-neighbor and four-spin interactions has been studied. The ground states and energy of the model have been obtained. The model is equivalent to an eight-vertex model on its dual lattice. In some special cases, the model can be solved exactly as a zero-field eight-vertex model or a free-fermion model. Explicit phase diagrams are obtained exactly.     

Exact results for a random frustrated Ising model on the Kagomé lattice

We perform a slight modification of the decoration-decimation transformation which allows us to map the homogeneous Ising model on the honeycomb lattice on an inhomogeneous Ising model on the Kagomé lattice. Then, we obtain exact results for a class of random bond Ising model on the Kagomé lattice with competing interactions and show that the different types of frustration make the critical point of the pure model disappear.     

Phase transitions and critical properties in the antiferromagnetic Ising model on a layered triangular lattice with allowance for intralayer next-nearest-neighbor interactions

The phase transitions (PTs) and critical properties of the antiferromagnetic Ising model on a layered (stacked) triangular lattice have been studied by the Monte Carlo method using a replica algorithm with allowance for the next-nearest-neighbor interactions. The character of PTs is analyzed using the histogram technique and the method of Binder cumulants. It is established that the transition from the disordered to paramagnetic phase in the adopted model is a second-order PT. Static critical exponents of the heat capacity (α), susceptibility (γ), order parameter (β), and correlation radius (ν) and the Fischer exponent η are calculated using the finite-size scaling theory. It is shown that (i) the antiferromagnetic Ising model on a layered triangular lattice belongs to the XY universality class of critical behavior and (ii) allowance for the intralayer interactions of next-nearest neighbors in the adopted model leads to a change in the universality class of critical behavior.     

Spontaneous magnetization of the Ising model on a square lattice with non-crossing diagonal interactions

We have studied the spontaneous magnetization of the Ising model on a square lattice with non-crossing diagonal interactions. It is discovered that the formula derived by Vaks, Larkin and Ovchinnikov in 1965 does not agree with the series expansions. However their formula agrees with the series expansions for the spontaneous magnetization of a semi-ferromagnetic model.     

On the critical behavior of the Ising model with mixed two- and three-spin interactions

A study is made of a two-dimensional Ising model with staggered three-spin interactions in one direction and two-spin interactions in the other. The phase diagram of the model and its critical behavior are explored by conventional finite-size scaling and by exploiting relations between mass gap amplitudes and critical exponents predicted by conformal invariance. The model is found to exhibit a line of continuously varying critical exponents, which bifurcates into two Ising critical lines. This similarity of the model with the Ashkin-Teller model leads to a conjecture for the exact critical indices along the nonuniversal critical curve. Earlier contradictions about the universality class of the uniform (isotropic) case of the model are clarified.     

A Solvable Decorated Ising Lattice Model

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.     

Phase transitions in the antiferromagnetic ising model on a square lattice with next-nearest-neighbor interactions

The phase transitions in the two-dimensional Ising model on a square lattice are studied using a replica algorithm, the Monte Carlo method, and histogram analysis with allowance for the next-nearest-neighbor interactions in the range 0.1 ≤ r < 1.0. A phase diagram is constructed for the dependence of the critical temperature on the next-nearest-neighbor interaction. A second-order phase transition is detected in this range and the model under study.     

Rectangular lattice gas model with competing interactions and the two-dimensional ANNNI model in a field

A lattice gas model with short range competing interactions for adsorption on (110) surfaces of fcc crystals, in particular for O/Pd(110), as well as its Ising analog, the two-dimensional ANNNI model with antiferromagnetic axial nearest and next-nearest neighbour interactions in a field, are studied using the free fermion approximation and Monte Carlo techniques. The phase diagrams display different commensurate phases and incommensurate regions. Static and dynamic aspects of topological defects (walls and dislocations) characterising the incommensurate structures are investigated.     

Microcanonical relation between continuous and discrete spin models

A relation between a class of stationary points of the energy landscape of continuous spin models on a lattice and the configurations of an Ising model defined on the same lattice suggests an approximate expression for the microcanonical density of states. Based on this approximation we conjecture that if a O(n) model with ferromagnetic interactions on a lattice has a phase transition, its critical energy density is equal to that of the n=1 case, i.e., an Ising system with the same interactions. The conjecture holds true in the case of long-range interactions. For nearest-neighbor interactions, numerical results are consistent with the conjecture for n=2 and n=3 in three dimensions. For n=2 in two dimensions (XY model) the conjecture yields a prediction for the critical energy of the Bere?inskij-Kosterlitz-Thouless transition, which would be equal to that of the two-dimensional Ising model. We discuss available numerical data in this respect.     

Fermion-mediated long-range interactions between bosons stored in an optical lattice

We describe a new method for creating spin-dependent long-range interactions between atomic ultra-cold neutral bosons—specifically ⁸⁷Rb—in an optical lattice. In this proposal, the bosonic system is immersed in a spin-polarized degenerate Fermi gas (almost perfectly non-interacting), here ⁶Li. We first show that the bosons acquire a long-range interaction analogous to Ruderman–Kittel–Kasuya–Yosida interaction in solids. The resulting fermion-mediated Bose–Bose interaction, which can depend on the bosons’ spin state, is tunable using inter-species Feshbach resonance. When the bosons are subject to a suitable optical lattice, 3-body loss processes are greatly suppressed. We conclude by showing that these interactions can lead to a supersolid phase for single-spin Bose system, and also to a fully tunable transverse field Ising model for a two-component Bose system.     

Critical properties of the antiferromagnetic layered Ising model on a cubic lattice with competing interactions

The critical properties of the antiferromagnetic layered Ising model on a cubic lattice with regard to the nearest-neighbor and next-nearest-neighbor interactions are investigated by the Monte Carlo method using the replica algorithm. The investigations are carried out for the ratios of exchange nearest-neighbor and next-nearest-neighbor interactions r = J ₂/J ₁ in the range of 0 ≤ r ≤ 1.0. Using the finite-size scaling theory, the static critical indices of specific heat α, order parameter β, susceptibility γ, correlation radius ν, and Fisher index η are calculated. It is shown that the universality class of the critical behavior of this model is retained in the range of 0 ≤ r ≤ 0.4. It is established that the change in the next-nearest-neighbor interaction value in this model in the range of r > 0.8 leads to the same universality class as the three-dimensional fully frustrated Ising model on the cubic lattice.

Second-order phase transitions in triangular ising models with two- and three-spin interactions

For Ising models with pair and three-spin interactions on the triangular lattice the nature of the phase diagram in the temperature-field plane is studied. Second-order transitions are located by the interface method of Müller-Hartmann and Zittartz.     

Thermodynamic limit for a system with dipole-dipole interactions

The free energy at constant magnetization of a simple cubic lattice of Ising spins with dipole-dipole interactions in periodic boundary conditions is related to the free energy at constant magnetization with no periodicity. The relationship is not one of equality.     

Ising Model on an Infinite Ladder Lattice

In this paper we propose an Ising model on an infinite ladder lattice, which is made of two infinite Ising spin chains with interactions. It is essentially a quasi-one-dimessional Ising model because the length of the ladder lattice is infinite, while its width is finite. We investigate the phase transition and dynamic behavior of Ising model on this quasi-one-dimessional system. We use the generalized transfer matrix method to investigate the phase transition of the system. It is found that there is no nonzero temperature phase transition in this system. At the same time, we are interested in Glauber dynamics. Based on that, we obtain the time evolution of the local spin magnetization by exactly solving a set of master equations.
