A brief account of the Ising and Ising-like models: Mean-field, effective-field and exact results

Jozef Strecka,
Michal Jascur

Abstract: The present article provides a tutorial review on how to treat the Ising and Ising-like models within the mean-field, effective-field and exact methods. The mean-field approach is illustrated on four particular examples of the lattice-statistical models: the spin-1/2 Ising model in a longitudinal field, the spin-1 Blume-Capel model in a longitudinal field, the mixed-spin Ising model in a longitudinal field and the spin-S Ising model in a transverse field. The meanfield solutions of the spin-1 Blume-Capel model… Show more

“…Few exactly solved mixed-Ising models exist in the literature. For recent review on the subject, the reader should refer to references [32][33][34][35][36][37][38][39][40][41]. Experimentally, the investigation of such systems has been performed for many years and has shown strong effects of the external constraint on the physical properties of the system [42,43].…”

“…Both Monte-Carlo methods [2] and mean-field methods [3] have been employed to study this problem. Another example of the application of such models is the contact process which is a stochastic process describing the growth of a population on a structured or unstructured lattice.…”

“…As we have mentioned earlier, the phase structure remains the same for small values of ω in the BEG mdoel. Referring the readers to [2,8] for detailed derivations, we briefly outline here some mathematical relations pertaining to the phase structure. Firstly, in the Blume-Capel limit the zero field expression for magnetization simplifies considerably, m = 2 sinh(βm) 2 cosh(βm) + e β D (Blume-Capel, H = 0) (10) and in the vicinity of the critical point the Landau expansion of the free energy gives…”
