Ising Model

The Ising model is commonly defined over an ordered lattice. Each site of the lattice can adopt two states: either UP (S=+1) or DOWN (S=-1).

The energy of the system is the sum of pair interactions between nearest neighbors.

where indicates that the sum is done over nearest neighbors, and indicates the state of the i-th site.

is called the Coupling constant.
