SUMMARY

The relationship between \(\gamma N_+\) and \(2N_{++} + N_{+-}\) is established through a systematic analysis of nearest neighbor interactions in a lattice. This conclusion is derived from Kerson Huang's framework, where \(\gamma\) represents the number of nearest neighbors. The total number of lines drawn between positive sites is calculated by considering pairs of positive sites, resulting in \(2N_{++}\), and the lines between positive and negative sites, yielding \(N_{+-}\). Thus, the equation \(\gamma N_+ = 2N_{++} + N_{+-}\) accurately describes the relationship.

One line between (+-). Two lines between (++). Zero line between (--). [tex]\gamma[/tex] number of nearest neighbours. Why we have relation

[tex]\gamma N_+=2N_{++}+N_{+-}[/tex]

Why we get this? Some explanation. This is from Kerson Huang.

Choose a + site. Join it to each neighbor by a line. we need to draw gamma lines. Now do this for all + sites. So total lines = gamma*N(+). In this process i) between any (+,+) pair there will be two lines (one when we draw line from 1st + to 2nd +, other when we draw line from 2nd + to 1st +). Now there are N(++) number of (+,+) pair. So total lines between all (+,+) pair is 2N(++).. ii) between any (+,-) pair there will be one line (when drawn from + to -). There are N(+-) number of (+,-) pair. iii) between any (-,-) pair there will be no line. So total lines = 2N(++) + N(+-).
