We study the thermal properties of the quantum and classical models of the Fe4 and Fe8 SMMs in the presence of an arbitrary constant magnetic field, obtaining the β-expansions of the Helmholtz free energy of the models up to orders β26, β25 and β26 for the spin-5 (Fe4), the spin-10 (Fe8) and...

We propose a thermodynamic multi-state spin model in order to describe equilibrial behavior of a society. Our model is inspired by the Axelrod model used in social network studies. In the framework of the statistical mechanics language, we analyze phase transitions of our model, in which the...

Among the stationary configurations of the Hamiltonian of a classical O(n) lattice spin model, a class can be identified which is in one-to-one correspondence with all the configurations of an Ising model defined on the same lattice and with the same interactions. Starting from this observation...

The thermodynamics of the unitary (normalized spin) quantum and classical Ising models with skew magnetic field, for |J|β≲0.9, is derived for the ferromagnetic and antiferromagnetic cases. The high-temperature expansion (β-expansion) of the Helmholtz free energy is calculated up to order β7...

The phase transition between the valence-bond-solid (VBS) and nematic phases, the so-called deconfined criticality, was investigated for the quantum S=1-spin model on the spatially anisotropic triangular lattice with the biquadratic interaction by means of the numerical diagonalization method....
