The Ising model [1] (also known as the Lenz-Ising model) is commonly defined over an ordered lattice. Each site of the lattice can adopt two states, . Note that sometimes these states are referred to as spins and the values are referred to as down and up respectively. The energy of the system is the sum of pair interactions between nearest neighbors.

where is the Boltzmann constant, is the temperature, indicates that the sum is performed over nearest neighbors, and indicates the state of the i-th site, and is the coupling constant.

For a detailed and very readable history of the Lenz-Ising model see the following references:[2] [3] [4].

1-dimensional Ising model

Main article: 1-dimensional Ising model

The 1-dimensional Ising model has an exact solution.

2-dimensional Ising model

The 2-dimensional square lattice Ising model was solved by Lars Onsager in 1944 [5] [6] [7] after Rudolf Peierls had previously shown that, contrary to the one-dimensional case, the two-dimensional model must have a phase transition [8] [9].

Critical temperature

The critical temperature of the 2D Ising model is given by [5]

where is the interaction energy in the direction, and is the interaction energy in the direction. If these interaction energies are the same one has

Critical exponents

The critical exponents are as follows:

  • Heat capacity exponent (Baxter Eq. 7.12.12)
  • Magnetic order parameter exponent (Baxter Eq. 7.12.14)
  • Susceptibility exponent (Baxter Eq. 7.12.15)

(see also: Ising universality class)

3-dimensional Ising model

Sorin Istrail has shown that the solution of Ising's model cannot be extended into three dimensions for any lattice [10] [11] In three dimensions, the critical exponents are not known exactly. However, Monte Carlo simulations, renormalisation group analysis and conformal bootstrap techniques provide accurate estimates [12]:

with a critical temperature of [13]

ANNNI model

The axial next-nearest neighbour Ising (ANNNI) model [14] is used to study spatially modulated structures in alloys, adsorbates, ferroelectrics, magnetic systems, and polytypes.

Cellular automata

The Ising model can be studied using cellular automata [15][16][17][18].
