Casimir interactions in Ising strips with boundary fields: exact results.
نویسندگان
چکیده
An exact statistical mechanical derivation is given of the critical Casimir forces for Ising strips with arbitrary surface fields applied to edges. Our results show that the strength as well as the sign of the force can be controlled by varying the temperature or the fields. An interpretation of the results is given in terms of a linked cluster expansion. This suggests a systematic approach for deriving the critical Casimir force which can be used in more general models.

One-Dimensional Ising Chain with Competing Interactions: Exact Results and Connection with Other Statistical Models
We study the ground state properties of a one-dimensional Ising chain with a nearest-neighbor ferromagnetic interaction J l , and a kth neighbor antiferromagnetic interaction J~. When Jk /J i = -1 /k , there exists a highly degenerate ground state with a residual entropy per spin. For the finite chain with free boundary conditions, we calculate the degeneracy of this state exactly, and find tha...
متن کاملSOME POINTS ON CASIMIR FORCES
Casimir forces of massive ferrnionic Dirac fields are calculated for parallel plates geometry in spatial space with dimension d and imposing bag model boundary conditions. It is shown that in the range of ma>>l where m is mass of fields quanta and a is the separation distance of the plates, it is equal to massive bosonic fields Casimir force for each degree of freedom. We argue this equalit...
متن کاملMean Field Renormalization Group for the Boundary Magnetization of Strip Clusters
We analyze in some detail a recently proposed transfer matrix mean field approximation which yields the exact critical point for several two dimensional nearest neighbor Ising models. For the square lattice model we show explicitly that this approximation yields not only the exact critical point, but also the exact boundary magnetization of a semi–infinite Ising model, independent of the size o...
متن کاملBoundary energy and boundary states in integrable quantum field theories
We study the ground state energy of integrable 1+1 quantum field theories with boundaries (the genuine Casimir effect). In the scalar case, this is done by introducing a new, “R-channel TBA”, where the boundary is represented by a boundary state, and the thermodynamics involves evaluating scalar products of boundary states with all the states of the theory. In the non-scalar, sine-Gordon case, ...
متن کاملOn properties of the Ising model for complex energy/temperature and magnetic field
We study some properties of the Ising model in the plane of the complex (energy/temperature)-dependent variable u = e−4K , where K = J/(kBT ), for nonzero external magnetic field, H. Exact results are given for the phase diagram in the u plane for the model in one dimension and on infinite-length quasi-one-dimensional strips. In the case of real h = H/(kBT ), these results provide new insights ...
