Finding Resources on Ising Model

Click For Summary

Discussion Overview

The discussion revolves around finding resources related to the Ising Model, a fundamental concept in statistical physics. Participants share various types of literature, including books and articles, that may help in understanding the model and its applications.

Discussion Character

  • Exploratory, Technical explanation

Main Points Raised

  • One participant inquires about resources for the Ising Model, seeking books or other materials.
  • Another suggests reviewing articles and mentions a specific textbook by Olle Haggstrom that covers relevant techniques.
  • A participant recommends a German book by W. Nolting that includes a section on the Ising Model.
  • One contributor mentions that Chandler's book on Statistical Mechanics provides extensive coverage of the topic.
  • Another participant points out a historical perspective on the Lenz-Ising Model by Stephen G. Brush and references a computational physics book by Steven E. Koonin that includes some information on the model.
  • It is suggested that percolation theory books might also contain relevant information about the Ising Model.
  • A participant notes that the Wikipedia entry on the Ising Model is quite comprehensive for those looking to learn more.
  • Lastly, it is recommended to check arXiv for research papers related to the Ising Model.

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

Participants generally agree on the availability of various resources for studying the Ising Model, but there is no consensus on a single best resource, as different suggestions cater to different backgrounds and preferences.

Contextual Notes

Some participants express uncertainty about the specific mathematical or physical background required to fully understand advanced articles or texts on the Ising Model.

Hi, I'm looking for something (books or other), about Ising Model. Can anyone of you help me?
Thank you
 
Physics news on Phys.org
Introduction to Ising model?

There are some fine review articles and expository articles in various journals. What is your math/phy background?

One important technique is "sampling from the past"; see the UG textbook by Olle Haggstrom, Finite Markov Chains and Algorithmic Applications, LMS Student Texts 52, Cambridge University Press, 2002.
 
if you speak german, there is a good book about statistical physics:

W.Nolting: Grundkurs Theoretische Physik 6

you can find there about 20 p concerning the Ising-Modell
 
I'm attending the second year of Specialistic degree in Physics (in Italy, I don't know the analogous in US or UK)... so I think I can understand also advanced articles (or at least, I hope...)
 
Chandler's book on Stat Mech covers this extensively.
 
History of the Lenz-Ising Model by Stephen G. Brush might be a good one, haven't read more than a few pages of it (for a paper) myself though.

Computational Physics by Steven E. Koonin has a few pages on it.

Some percolation theory books might have a page or two on the Ising model too.

In addition, the wikipedia entry is pretty extensive if you're just looking to learn about it

Oh, as for articles, check on arXiv, I'm sure there's some papers on there about the Ising model.
 
Thank you!
