The 6-vertex model of hydrogen-bonded crystals with bond defects

Statistical Mechanics 2009-10-31 v2

Abstract

It is shown that the percolation model of hydrogen-bonded crystals, which is a 6-vertex model with bond defects, is completely equivalent with an 8-vertex model in an external electric field. Using this equivalence we solve exactly a particular 6-vertex model with bond defects. The general solution for the Bethe-like lattice is also analyzed.
