  2. Potts model - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Potts_model

    A function V gives interaction energy between a set of spins; it is not the Hamiltonian, but is used to build it. The argument to the function V is an element s ∈ Q Z, that is, an infinite string of spins. In the above example, the function V just picked out two spins out of the infinite string: the values s 0 and s 1.

  3. Solid solution - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solid_solution

    a solid solution mixes with others to form a new solution The phase diagram in the above diagram displays an alloy of two metals which forms a solid solution at all relative concentrations of the two species. In this case, the pure phase of each element is of the same crystal structure, and the similar properties of the two elements allow for ...

  4. Jordan–Wigner transformation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jordan–Wigner_transformation

    The Jordan–Wigner transformation is often used to exactly solve 1D spin-chains such as the Ising and XY models by transforming the spin operators to fermionic operators and then diagonalizing in the fermionic basis. This transformation actually shows that the distinction between spin-1/2 particles and fermions is nonexistent.

  5. Classical XY model - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Classical_XY_model

    The existence of the thermodynamic limit for the free energy and spin correlations were proved by Ginibre, extending to this case the Griffiths inequality. [3]Using the Griffiths inequality in the formulation of Ginibre, Aizenman and Simon [4] proved that the two point spin correlation of the ferromagnetics XY model in dimension D, coupling J > 0 and inverse temperature β is dominated by (i.e ...

  6. Spin chain - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spin_chain

    The prototypical example of a spin chain is the Heisenberg model, described by Werner Heisenberg in 1928. [1] This models a one-dimensional lattice of fixed particles with spin 1/2. A simple version (the antiferromagnetic XXX model) was solved, that is, the spectrum of the Hamiltonian of the Heisenberg model was determined, by Hans Bethe using ...

  7. Ising model - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ising_model

    The Ising model (or Lenz–Ising model), named after the physicists Ernst Ising and Wilhelm Lenz, is a mathematical model of ferromagnetism in statistical mechanics.The model consists of discrete variables that represent magnetic dipole moments of atomic "spins" that can be in one of two states (+1 or −1).

  8. Spin states (d electrons) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spin_states_(d_electrons)

    Low-spin [Fe(NO 2) 6] 3− crystal field diagram. The Δ splitting of the d orbitals plays an important role in the electron spin state of a coordination complex. Three factors affect Δ: the period (row in periodic table) of the metal ion, the charge of the metal ion, and the field strength of the complex's ligands as described by the spectrochemical series.

    Aluminium (or aluminum in North American English) is a chemical element; it has symbol Al and atomic number 13. Aluminium has a density lower than that of other common metals , about one-third that of steel .
