We present detailed calculations for the partition function and the free energy of the finite two-dimensional square lattice Ising model with periodic and antiperiodic boundary conditions, variable aspect ratio, and anisotropic couplings, as well as for the corresponding universal free energy finite-size scaling functions. Therefore, we review the dimer mapping, as well as the interplay between its topology and the different types of boundary conditions. As a central result, we show how both the finite system as well as the scaling form decay into contributions for the bulk, a characteristic finite-size part, and – if present – the surface tension, which emerges due to at least one antiperiodic boundary in the system. For the scaling limit we extend the proper finite-size scaling theory to the anisotropic case and show how this anisotropy can be absorbed into suitable scaling variables.

AbstractThe one-dimensional Ising model with various boundary conditions is considered. Exact expressions for the thermodynamic and magnetic properties of the model using different kinds of boundary conditions [Dirichlet (D), Neumann (N), and a combination of Neumann–Dirichlet (ND)] are presented in the absence (presence) of a magnetic field. The finite-size scaling functions for internal energy, heat capacity, entropy, magnetisation, and magnetic susceptibility are derived and analysed as function of the temperature and the field. We show that the properties of the one-dimensional Ising model is affected by the finite size of the system and the imposed boundary conditions. The thermodynamic limit in which the finite-size functions approach the bulk case is also discussed.

The two-dimensional Ising model with nearest-neighbour pair interactions is simulated on the Creutz cellular automaton by using the finite-size lattices with the linear dimensions L = 80, 120, 160, and 200. The temperature variations and the finite-size scaling plots of the specific heat and the Binder parameter verify the theoretically predicted expression near the infinite lattice critical temperature. The approximate values for the critical temperature of the infinite lattice Tc = 2.287(6), Tc = 2.269(3), and Tc =2.271(1) are obtained from the intersection points of specific heat curves, Binder parameter curves, and the straight line fit of specific heat maxima, respectively. These results are in agreement with the theoretical value (Tc =2.269) within the error limits. The values obtained for the critical exponent of the specific heat, α = 0.04(25) and α = 0.03(1), are in agreement with α = 0 predicted by the theory. The values for the Binder parameter by using the finite-size lattices with the linear dimension L = 80, 120, 160, and 200 at Tc = 2.269(3) are calculated as gL(Tc) = −1.833(5), gL(Tc) = −1.834(3), gL(Tc) = −1.832(2), and gL(Tc) = −1.833(2), respectively. The value of the infinite lattice for the Binder parameter, gL(Tc) = −1.834(11), is obtained from the straight line fit of gL(Tc) = −1.833(5), gL(Tc) = −1.834(3), gL(Tc) = −1.832(2), and gL(Tc) = −1.833(2) versus L = 80, 120, 160, and 200, respectively
