We apply a generalized numerical transfer-matrix method to the 2-d Ising ferro- magnet in a nonzero field to obtain complex constrained free energies. Below $T_c$ certain eigenstates of the transfer matrix are identified as representing a…
We apply both a scalar field theory and a recently developed transfer-matrix method to study the stationary properties of metastability in a two-state model with weak, long-range interactions: the $N$$\times$$\infty$ quasi-one-dimensional…
We compute by numerical transfer-matrix methods the surface free energy $\tau(T),$ the surface stiffness coefficient $\kappa(T),$ and the single-step free energy $s(T)$ for Ising ferromagnets with $(\infty \times L)$ square-lattice and…
It is widely accepted that the free energy F(H) of the two-dimensional Ising model in the ferromagnetic phase T<T_c has an essential branch cut singularity at the origin H=0. The phenomenological droplet theory predicts that near the cut…
We investigate metastability in the two dimensional Ising model in a square with free boundary conditions at low temperatures. Starting with all spins down in a small positive magnetic field, we show that the exit from this metastable phase…
We develop a fully microscopic, statistical mechanics approach to study phase transitions in Ising systems with competing interactions at different scales. Our aim is to consider orientational and positional order parameters in a unified…
We study the equilibrium and dynamic phase transition properties of two-dimensional Ising model on a decorated triangular lattice under the influence of a time-dependent magnetic field composed of a periodic square wave part plus a time…
We propose two different macroscopic dynamics to describe the decay of metastable phases in many-particle systems with local interactions. These dynamics depend on the macroscopic order parameter $m$ through the restricted free energy…
The lifetimes of metastable states in kinetic Ising ferromagnets are studied by droplet theory and Monte Carlo simulation, in order to determine their dependences on applied field and system size. For a wide range of fields, the dominant…
For the first order transition of the Ising model below $T_c$, Isakov has proven that the free energy possesses an essential singularity in the applied field. Such a singularity in the control parameter, anticipated by condensation theory,…
A new finite-size scaling approach based on the transfer matrix method is developed to calculate the critical temperature of anisotropic two-layer Ising ferromagnet, on strips of r wide sites of square lattices. The reduced internal energy…
The main contribution of the current study is two-fold. First, we investigate the energy landscape of the Ising and Potts models on finite two-dimensional lattices without external fields in the low temperature regime. The complete analysis…
Free energy as a function of polarization is calculated for the square-lattice $J_1$-$J_2$ Ising model for $J_2 < |J_1|/2$ using the random local field approximation (RLFA) and Monte Carlo (MC) simulations. Within RLFA, it reveals a…
Transfer-matrix methods are used, in conjunction with finite-size scaling and conformal invariance concepts, to generate an accurate phase diagram for a two-dimensional square-lattice Ising spin-1/2 magnet, with couplings which are positive…
Martensites are metastable phases, possessing a characteristic morphology, usually formed during a fast quench accross a structural transition. We attempt to understand these morphological features using a coarsegrained free energy…
Consider Glauber dynamics for the Ising model on the hypercubic lattice with a positive magnetic field. Starting from the minus configuration, the system initially settles into a metastable state with negative magnetization. Slowly the…
By quenching into the metastable region of the three-dimensional Ising model, we investigate the paths that the magnetization (energy) takes as a function of time. We accumulate the magnetization (energy) paths into time-dependent…
The square-lattice Ising antiferromagnet subjected to the imaginary magnetic field $H=i \theta T /2 $ with the "topological" angle $\theta$ and temperature $T$ was investigated by means of the transfer-matrix method. Here, as a probe to…
We study the two-dimensional kinetic Ising model below its equilibrium critical temperature, subject to a square-wave oscillating external field. We focus on the multi-droplet regime where the metastable phase decays through nucleation and…
We explore the cooperative behaviour and phase transitions of interacting networks by studying a simplified model consisting of Ising spins placed on the nodes of two coupled Erd\"os-R\'enyi random graphs. We derive analytical expressions…
