Some materials in nature behave as permanent magnets, and these are ferromagnets. In order to explain the behaviour of ferromagnets, Ising constructed a simple statistical mechanic model, now known as the Ising model, which admits solutions which capture various properties of ferromagnets in different dimensions, and in the presence of external electric and magnetic fields.
In this project you will explore various versions of the Ising model in different dimensions and on different types of lattices, and learn how these mathematically intricate models describe nontrivial physical systems.
