We derive low-temperature series (in the variable $u = \exp[-\beta J/S^2]$) for the spontaneous magnetisation, susceptibility and specific heat of the spin-$S$ Ising model on the square lattice for $S=\frac32$, 2, $\frac52$, and 3. We…

We use the zero-temperature random-field Ising model to study hysteretic behavior at first-order phase transitions. Sweeping the external field through zero, the model exhibits hysteresis, the return-point memory effect, and avalanche…

We analyse the critical region of finite-($d$)-dimensional Ising spin glass, in particular the limit of $d$ closely above the lower critical dimension $d_\ell$. At criticality the thermally active degrees of freedom are surfaces (of width…
