CRITICAL TEMPERATURES OF THE ISING MODEL ON THE BETHE LATTICE FOR ARBITRARY VALUES OF SPIN

Abstract

Using the method of recursion relations an exact solution of classical Ising models with arbitrary value of spin on the Bethe lattice with arbitrary coordination number is presented. Expressions for the spontaneous magnetization, for the magnetic moments of arbitrary orders, for the susceptibility, for the free energy, and for the specific heat are found as functions of quantities which are determined by the recursion relations. The behavior of the spontaneous magnetization for the Ising model on the Bethe lattice is investigated for systems with spin values up to s = 5 for various coordination numbers and the corresponding critical temperatures are determined. An approximate formula for determining the positions of the critical temperatures for arbitrary high values of the spin variable is found and discussed. It is shown that this formula allows one to determine the full structure of the critical temperatures with very high precision.
