Abstract

The two-dimensional Ising model on a distorted Kagom\'{e} lattice is studied by means of exact solutions and the tensor renormalisation group (TRG) method. The zero-field phase diagrams are obtained, where three phases such as ferromagnetic, ferrimagnetic and paramagnetic phases, along with the second-order phase transitions, have been identified. The TRG results are quite accurate and reliable in comparison to the exact solutions. In a magnetic field, the magnetization (mm), susceptibility and specific heat are studied by the TRG algorithm, where the m=1/3m=1/3 plateaux are observed in the magnetization curves for some couplings. The experimental data of susceptibility for the complex Co(N3_3)2_2(bpg)\cdot DMF4/3_{4/3} are fitted with the TRG results, giving the couplings of the complex J=22KJ=22K and J=33KJ'=33K.
