Investigation of Magnetic Properties of Spin 5/2 Ising Chain by Using Transfer Matrix Method

Abstract

A magnetic property of the one dimensional spin 5/2 Ising model under the magnetic field has been investigated by means of transfer matrix method. Thermodynamic response functions are also obtained for varying values of temperature (in K) and scaling magnetic field. Entropy and heat capacity of the system were calculated by benefiting from the temperature dependencies of Helmholtz free energy. We observed that the heat capacity tends to shift to the relatively higher temperature regions as the strength of the magnetic field is increased, and these findings are consistent with previous results for the low spin values in one dimensional Ising systems.
